A small and dedicated group of Danish students and instructors were at the core of our ITF pattern application. With guest participants from Norway, Sweden and the Czech Republic 2 days past quickly.
Instructors Robert Boer, 6. Dan and Roy Rolstad, 5. Dan from Nederland and Norway Guided the participants through the process of Project Radix.
With effective examples of alternative application of pattern techniques for selv defense, grappling and throws the participants minds were challenged and expanded enabling all to visualize the in depth possibilities of patterns for realistic self defense.
Patterns were performed and trained in a new awareness and with a focus of actually being in the “Junbi” mode. Staying alert, present and aware in life, training and self management.
The instructors worked competent and qualified with all techniques and application and instead of simply showing fixed application their teaching style and attitudes enabled all participants to grow individually and to comprehend and play with the application themselves.
The ITF Denmark and Soroe Taekwon-Do will pursue the Radix principles and very likely make the Radix seminars a yearly event.
