Thanks to this combination Taekwon-do doesn’t finish with end of the training but kids bring it to their everyday life, to the playground with their friends or time with their parents.

At the end of the seminat paticipants took group picture and received clipboards, personalised briefcases, pens and diplomas.
Seminar Taekwon-dix enriched the participants with a wide range of games and activities, from which everyone can choose the exercises appropriate for their students. Also it was a great opportunity to feel like a child by playing with other instructors. We recommend Taekwondix seminar to everyone and encourage to participate in the next edition.
It is worth exploring creative approach of Mr. Andrzej Undro and use his database of ideas. Teach our children through fun and play.
