Over two days the participants spent nearly 12 hours practicing hard and working for the recognition in the eyes of the Champion. The demonstration of techniques made by Mr. Jaroslaw Suska woke up a great enthusiasm of all present in the hall and at the same time made them aware how much work and dedication such a high level requires.
Mr. Jaroslaw Suska underlined many times during the seminar that he would have achieved nothing without a hard work.
The training sessions were made lively by many different and very interesting stories from nearly 30 years long training and competition practice of Mr. Suska and his life which Taekwon-Do surely is.
The main motto Mr. Suska wanted to relay to the students was to gain its own motivation for the training, perseverance, determination and a fight with their weaknesses and a constant work on themselves.
Already today the organizers are inviting to the next seminar with Mr. Jaroslaw Suska – the best competitor in the history of Polish Taekwon-Do. It will take place on November 2014 in Lodz.
