12th International Taekwon-Do Summer Camp

This year 150 participants from nine clubs all over the Czech Republic and three clubs from two other states were training under the supervision of two international instructors and eight instructors. This year we have met for twelfth time in Zbraslavice, being supported by the County of Central Bohemia, City of Ricany and City of Brandys nad Labem.

Once again this year we have come up with something new. First of all it was a great team of skilled coaches and assistants and a rich supporting program. As is standard at our camps, we had two trainings a day led by international instructors and a third training supervised by the couches of National Teams from Czech Republic, Slovenia and Bosnia. All of it was of course accompanied by individual trainings with all the instructors and assistants.

The accompanying program featured two evenings with the folk music group of Mr. Frantisek Nedved, overnight adventure game, Tekken game competition, special party with dancing exhibition, vampire ball, journey to Prague including a boat trip, sight-seeing flights, trip to Zbraslavicce, campfires with guitar music and barbecue, sauna, exhibition of Prison Service whippers, numerous children contests and fairy tale reading and of course two Taekwon-Do competitions, tests for higher degrees and Taekwon-Do exhibition.

   
   

However not only the accompanying program was highly interesting and innovative, the same hold for Taekwon-Do trainings. The 12th International Summer Camp came right after Taekwon-Do Camp in Pula, Croatia, which had been organized by Slovenian Taekwon-Do Club Tiger of Mr. Mohamed Baltic. The trainings there took place both at a seaside resort and at a special Taekwon-Do training hall of Mr. Edi Viskovic.

   

The Slovenian Camp ended on Sunday 1st of July, exactly the day the Summer Camp was about to begin. All the instructors managed to move the nine hundred kilometres from Pula to Zbraslavice and so the newest training methods, corrected techniques, methods of sport sparring training, development of explosive power and speed and more could be presented in unison both in Slovenia and Czech Republic, benefiting greatly all the participants. Moreover once again we had a chance to peep into the new techniques of short-distance fight and Kickbox Aerobic with instructor Agim Murtic from Bosnia.

The assistants were on duty 24/7 as all the participant took the advantage of personal trainings, be it for the degree and dan tests ranging from 9th Kup to 3rd Dan or for the upcoming competition. The final farewell was again full of emotions and soon-to-meet promises.

Thanks goes also to the great stuff on the site - especially to the chief operatives Jirka and Jana and chefs Libor and Jirka. Even now we know all the promises will not come in vain, as we hope to meet all the participants at the upcoming Summer Camp of Fight Club Ceske Budejovice or at an outstanding International Camp in Velika Kladusa in Bosnia.

All the great moments are captured on our website in the Gallery section and more images come every day.
