Advances in rank, the techniques become more complex and the stances become more dynamic. Alongside the basic techniques, students learn patterns, also known as forms or poomsae. Patterns are a set sequence of movements that simulate a real-life fight against multiple imaginary opponents. They help to develop balance, coordination, focus, and self-discipline.
Students of all ages and skill levels can benefit from learning patterns.
Sparring is a key component of Tae Kwon Do training. It is introduced to students within the first month of training and is practised in almost every lesson. Sparring can be done in a semi-contact or non-contact manner, to ensure the safety of all participants. Through sparring, students learn to apply their techniques in a dynamic and unpredictable environment.
It helps to improve reflexes, speed, agility, and decision-making skills. Sparring also fosters discipline, sportsmanship, and respect for opponents.
In addition to patterns and sparring, our curriculum includes other training components to develop well-rounded martial artists. Students participate in drill work, which focuses on basic stances, kicks, punches, and combinations. This helps to improve technique and fluidity of movement. Students also engage in self-defence training, learning practical techniques for real-life situations.
Other aspects of training may include board breaking, showing the power and focus that students have acquired, as well as pad work, to enhance their striking abilities.
