Newsletter Newsletter 1/2017 Report from a TKD seminar in Germany

More than 90 Bavarian Taekwon-Do members different age and graduation, met in Bad Abbach (south Germany) to improve Taekwon-Do skills. The technical workshop was led by German national team coach Master Harry Vones with support from Master Adalbert Wagner, who is the head of the ITF organization in Bavaria. Participants from more than twelve clubs wanted to improve their abilities in the field of basic technics, stances, hand- and foot preparations and fundamental movements.

All of these issues have been performed in theory and practical applications. For more effectiveness the large number of participants has been divided in smaller groups, taking into account age and graduation. Master Harry Vones always found answers for questions and explanations easy understandable. Technical details are not always clear for everybody and need dedicated clarifications. The Masters provided as far as possible simple solutions with concrete examples.

Tul training has been performed starting with Chon-Ji up to Tong-Il. Everybody agreed with the method to practice the higher level Tuls and to discuss and to clarify technical details impulsively. Most of the black belt holders with 4th degree and up are Taekwon-Do teachers in their own Do-Jang. It was very interesting for them to see the way of teaching and explaining complex issues. With such courses and workshops, ITF-Germany is on track to prepare the athletes with regard to World Championships 2019 in Inzell – Bavaria.
