Nights Out!!!

Previously we had a succesful evening karting & the feudung and bitterness between Heather Cowell & Roger Stewart on the race track was Schuemacer and Hill like! Fastest on the night was close between Brenda Dymond, John Taylor and Brian Pearson; all true speed demons!

It will be at the Wessex Raceway on the Blandford Road. COST WILL BE APPROX £45.00. Maximun they can take will be 40. This is also open to the parents whose families train. It is a proper course with all the trimmings including trophies for the winners!

Should be a fantastic night. There is a bar and shower facilities because you do get rather hot and sweaty apparently; no problem should be just like a TKD class; fast and furious. It really is a good night of fun. Please note that this one is for over 16’s only, and it’s a Grand Prix meeting!

The Magnificent Seven Secrets of TKD

1. To study an know how to develop power

2. To clearly understand the purpose of each movement

3. To bring the movemnet of eyes, hands and feet and breath into one single co-ordinated action

4. To become familiar with the correct angle and distance for attack and defence

5. To choose an appropriate attacking tool for each vital spot

6. To keep the joints in the arms and legs slightly bent whilst movement is in motion

7. All movements begin with a backeard motion with very few exceptons.
