Anyone who is competing (and going for Dan grading for that matter) should probably train 3 or more times a week.

  3. Australian National Championships - October 1st - 2nd (Saturday to Sunday)

Easter Break

We still have the regular timetable happening during the holidays

Charges will continue as normal but if you are not attending for 2 weeks or more during the holidays and need to suspend payments please let us know.

If you're only missing one week, please try to come to more classes on the week you're here.

December (and before) 2021 Certificates

Picture
I had the December grading certificates finally ready at the start of March (it's getting faster...)

But we still have a pile because we keep forgetting to present the certificates!

If you haven't received your certificates from December (or earlier) grading, please ask David or Master ZiChuan.

March Grading certificates will be sent for printing after the last grading session (this Sunday). Should be faster because we've got the process sorted on our end and our print company is getting more used to loading in the Korean text into their system.

June 11 Competition reminder

It's coming up soon!

Info pack is almost ready and hopefully will be sent out next week.

Poomsae seminar series | Grading | Holiday Program | Competition save the date

11/3/2022

Comments

 
The next few months are going to be action packed!
Poomsae Seminar Series
We are delighted to be able to invite Elena Zhao to host a special series of classes.

Quick facts about Elena:
  • Represented Australia at World Universiade and Oceania Championships
  • Selected for the 2020 World Poomsae Championship Team (cancelled due to Covid)
  • Coach at University of NSW and King Tiger
  • Medicine student at UNSW

Dates:
Session 1: Sunday 27 March
Session 2: Sunday 15 May
Session 3: Sunday 19 June

Who should attend:
  • Blue Belt and above (high potential lower belts can request)
  • We will be focusing on Taeguk 4 and 7 (you should know at least one of these, preferably both)
  • Elena will share some of her experience preparing/training for poomsae and balancing studies, training and work

Cost:
Free for black belts (because it's taking over Sunday Black Belt class times)
Colour belts: $20 for 1 session, $50 for all 3.

Tickets at:
https://www.revolutionise.com.au/austtkdchungdokwanas/eventsregister/135426/
Grading

Grading will be from Sunday April 3rd (black belts) to 9th April. Please note there will be class disruptions during this week.

Qualification
Teens/adults - make sure you've attended the required number of classes, you self assess if you're ready to grade ask us if you are unsure.
Kids - We will hold grading qualification sessions in class during the week of 21 March

Class and competition attendance requirement
Each belt has a set number of classes required, this is because we assume very few people practice at home.

We have also extended the time requirement for higher belts. Techniques need time to mature like cheese or wine.
  • White belt - once you know right hand, left hand and chonji patterns plus front, turning and side kick
  • Yellow to green tip, green tip to green belt - 20 classes, 3 months
  • Green belt to blue tip , Blue tip to Blue belt - 30 classes, 3 months
  • Blue belt to red tip up to black belt - 40 classes, 6 months
Remember: Students progressing to blue belt and above must have competition experience. The reason for this isn't to win medals but to ensure we are constantly testing ourselves against an external benchmark.
Picture
Holiday Program
Normal classes continue during the holidays except Easter long weekend.

We will also have a holiday program on the Tuesday and Wednesday during the school holidays (April 12,13,19,20)
We are going to do it a bit differently this time. The focus will be on:
  1. Helping students who don't pass grading
  2. Helping students who want to either catch up or get a head start on their belt level
  3. We have a number of students from other schools who have maybe learnt different things, this is a chance to learn the same things that our students have learnt
April 12, 13 - Yellow to Blue Tip
April 19, 20 -  Blue belt and above
Time: 9.30-3pm
Pricing and booking links to follow soon

June Competition


We are going to hold our own competition on 11 June (Saturday), save the date!
It will be for students across all our locations plus a couple of external clubs
Location: University of Technology Sydney
Who: Yellow belt and upwards

Black belts Saturday 5th March
Colour Belts Sunday 6th March

We will be doing weigh in at Zido Hub Chatswood on Wednesday 2nd March so you don't need to go on the 5th (but you can if you want a mini holiday).

Registration steps
  1. Tell either David or Master Zi that you're competing and if you would like to come on the coach (parents too)
  2. You need to scan the QR code below to register with Australian Taekwondo for player membership - if you don't the competition organiser will charge $20 more

    2. In case you tried last week and it didn't work, the QR code works now
  3. Enter the competition https://rapidsignup.net and make sure you input the Australian Taekwondo player number

5/12/2021

Comments

 
Grading
The last grading sessions for the year will be held 11-13 December
Please note there will be some cancellations of Chatswood classes due to the grading.

We have spent the last 2 weeks assessing the students and only some students will be invited to grade.
You will receive an email on Monday if you have been invited.
If you don't receive an invitation and think you should please let us know.
Due to the short time period between the last grading and coming out of lock down, some/most people will need more time before they can do the test.

Last training 19 Dec
We will resume from 8th January (Saturday) - let's hope covid doesn't get out of control in 2022.

Holiday Program
We will start the holiday program from the 11th January (Tuesday)

1) Taekwondo Intensive for primary school students with and without experience in TKD (9.30am - 3pm or 1pm-3pm options)
2) Art + Taekwondo collaboration with The Art Factory for school aged kids with/without taekwondo experience
3) Taekwondo Intensive for high school students and older with and without experience in TKD (9.30am - 3pm)
  • Join 3 or more sessions and automatically receive a 10% discount
  • NSW Discover vouchers can also be used (I think the system only takes 1 per booking)

The 9.30am - 3pm sessions will include
  • Korean/Chinese calligraphy
  • Competition prep (depending on the level of the student)
  • General Poomsae/kyorugi (sparring) skills for those who are not in the competition group

It has taken a while and a number of calls/emails to confirm what we are allowed to do next week but we are finally able to confirm our timetable for 11 October (until the next time the rules change...)

  • Only fully vaccinated people can train indoors
  • Masks must be worn indoors
