Uniforms | Demo team tryouts | Upcoming competitions (and Aust TKD registration)

10/2/2023

Comments

 
Hello!

Pretty much everyone is back now, so please make sure you use the app or mobile site to book into classes.
We have slowed down how many new students we take in as we're not sure if there's space.

Uniforms
For new students waiting for uniforms, apologies for the delay.
The start of the year is always very hectic for the embroiders, we are ordering over 100 uniforms and it is taking some time on the supplier's end.

Demo Team Tryouts
We've told some belt levels and also some people have seen it in the calendar.
We will have demo team tryouts Saturday 11 Feb

We will split the existing demo team into 2 teams (Team A and Team B) and are looking to add new students (especially high school and older students).

You need to know:
  • Taeguk 3 or higher
  • Front, turning, side, back, reverse turning
  • Bonus if you know taeguk 4 and above and tornado kick
  • Also bonus if you have a gymnastics or dance background

Expectations:
  • Train in normal classes at least twice a week PLUS attend demo team training on Saturday afternoons
  • Participate in demos when we get asked (we get asked about 3 times a year)
  • Work hard

Competitions and AT player memberships
Two upcoming competitions
a) KTA Australia Competition (5th March @ Hurstville)
b) South Coast Open (15/16 April @ Bombaderry 3 hours south of Sydney)
More info on our events page

AT player memberships are up for renewal
Ever calendar year -_-

From 2024 Basic Membership is mandatory for all members but for 2023 it is strongly encouraged.
The National Athlete Licence is mandatory for people participating in State/National training and competitions.

Two types of memberships (see the full details of what they cover here)
a) Basic member
  • All individual members join at this level of membership
  • Basic membership is for club training and club events only
  • Members can upgrade their membership to access state and national events
  • Includes Personal Accident Insurance coverage (covers what Medicare+Private Health insurance doesn't - if anything)
  • This membership is also applicable to referees from affiliated clubs
b) Basic member + National Athlete Licence
  • Basic + insurance for AT sanctioned training and competitions
  • Must have to participate in State Training, State and National Competitions

To get this go to our events page and there's a link/QR code to our basic Aust TKD club page

Fees | Chungdo Personal Development Academy | Peer Leaders+Instructor

6/1/2023

Comments

 
Hello everyone,

Only a few days until we officially kick off classes for 2023! (Well done to the 10+ people who attended Tuesday and/or Thursday's bonus classes this week)
Apologies, I'm a bit slow to reply to emails this week. The database updates are taking a lot of time.

A few things as we lead into next week
1. New fees

  • As communicated last year we have needed to increase the fees and this will take place from 9th Jan
  • We've almost finished 300+ membership updates and consolidating our memberships types from 48 down to around 20.
  • 2022 ActiveKids credits will be applied asap after the membership updates are complete. We might miss some for 9th Jan but we will apply the credits before the next payment.
  • 2023 ActiveKids vouchers - thank you to those who has sent them already. We will apply these after we finish 2022 vouchers.
  • Fees details are available here

2. Change of fee timing

  • Our system week will now be from Monday to Sunday
  • This means fortnightly payments for 2 weeks in advance will be charged on Monday regardless of what day you attend
  • We're doing this to see if this reduces confusion with the class booking system
  • NSG/NSB payments have been rescheduled to 30 January to match the school term
  • All other payments (e.g. when I send invoices) will be sent on the 10th of each month so I can do everything in one go


3. Chung Do Personal Development Academy (Chung Do PDA) - you don't need to be learning taekwondo to join this one!
  • Many people learn martial arts for fitness, social connection, flexibility, fun and self defence.
  • Along the way they also learn many important life skills and develop personal qualities that will help their employment prospects and every day life.
  • Chungdo PDA is born out of our desire to introduce our Chungdo TKD community to opportunities and knowledge that will help both their personal goals and career possibilities.
  • Cost will be approx $600 for the 6 month program
  • First intake is open now, if you're interested please email me
  • For more details please click here


4. Call for Student Leaders + Assistant Instructors/Instructors
  • We know there are many high potential students in our dojang and we want to give the opportunity to help them develop their confidence and leadership skills
  • We've created a short table which details the differences between the levels and there's a simple application form on our website if you're interested!
  • To find our more and to apply click here!

2022 Nationals Results wrap up

A very successful 2022 @austkd_ Nationals campaign for #Chungdotkd

It was great to see so many of Australia's best Taekwondo practitioners of all ages come together to compete at a very successful event.

For the team (10 players. 9 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze)

Emma 🥇🥇 poomsae and sparring
Yena 🥈 poomsae 🥇 sparring
Isaac 🥇 poomsae 🥉 sparring
Hannah 🥇 poomsae (❤️ @weiwutaekwondo )
Henry 🥉 sparring
Harry 🥇 poomsae
Peixi 🥉 poomsae
Jasmine 🥈 sparring
David 🥇 poomsae
ZiChuan 🥇🥇 gold 🥈 silver poomsae
Plus Arifin as referee

For myself, Saturday was a grueling 15 hours referring but it was an absolutely unexpected privilege to be chosen to referee on Fight Night. My first Nationals as a referee and it was an honour to be with such an amazingly professional and supportive group.

Sunday allowed me to do some coaching and competing (before going back and helping referee the last 5 matches). Individuals was tough vs Master Choi (Australia's 2022 World Championship representative).

In pairs and teams I really want to say a huge thankyou to my Teams team mates @dale_bryce from @eclipse_taekwondo, Master Woo from @jinmookma and my pairs team mate @chllo2 from @musataekwondo . All three of them push me to lift my game and I really appreciate it. So pleased with our 6.99 pyongwon in Teams and our #1 placing in pairs. It was really encouraging to see accuracy scores boarding around 3.

Huge thanks to @vanphu_tricking for his leadership and coaching of the team and to @yutong.li0530 for holding the fort at Zido Hub in Chatswood

Are you using the Chung Do TKD app?
  • The app has been released and is ready for use
  • There’s an email from last week inviting you to set up your password
  • That link is only valid for one week, so if click on the link now it’ll tell me and I’ll need to send you a new link
  • App makes it much more convenient to book and cancel classes, track progress to gradings and we’ve moved all class reminders to the app instead of emails

Grading invitations sent | No Chatswood classes 17 & 18 Sept | Changes to bookings | Holiday program tickets

14/9/2022

Comments

 
Hi,

A quick update that grading invitations have been sent out, if you're expecting one and haven't received one yet please let us know.

No classes at Chatswood Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 September
Due to grading at Chatswood there will be no classes at the Zido Hub Dojang on Saturday and Sunday.
Mosman, Manly, Beacon Hill and Lindfield classes will remain as scheduled.

Changes to class bookings
Important changes are coming for class bookings
1. Cancellation time is now 3 hours before class (not 1 hour)
2. $2 late cancellation fee may now apply if you don't cancel at least 3 hours before class

We are seeing more classes marked full on the timetable but we've noticed there are people on the list who don't attend.

The $2 late cancellation fee has been introduced because there are sometimes people on waitlist who are missing out on classes because other students have booked but either cancel too late or don't show up.

There are also people who don't book in and still turn up - to avoid over crowding please make sure you book into class.

We have increased class capacity to 24 students across all classes except Fundamentals (30min 4-6 yo class)

3. Chung Do Taekwondo app is coming
Currently you can manage bookings via the member's portal
We will shortly be moving to an app
This will make it easier for you to manage your bookings and great news for families - you will be able to manage all the family in one app without needing separate logins.
We will update once the app is ready

Holiday program
Tickets for the September holiday program are now available.
Please check out our events page

September Grading | Holiday Program

3/9/2022

Hi everyone!

Chatswood Street Fair 3 September
Street Fair is on at Chatswood today.
Even though the weather forecast is cold and rainy, Chatswood might be busier than normal and streets are closed.
So traffic and parking might not be great.
If coming to Chatswood class please factor this into your travel time

Emerge Festival
We're promoting our Gentle Taekwondo classes (Monday and Thursday 12noon) as part of Chatswood's annual Emerge Festival!

Did you know we have students in their 60s?!
If you know an adult of any age who'd like to try a gentler on the knees version of Taekwondo check out this link:
https://www.emergefestival.com.au/Events/2022-program/Gentle-Taekwondo

PS for those who are younger adults, the class is "gentle" in relative terms

Grading
A quick update that September grading will be 17-19 September
We will start grading qualification assessments this week with the view to send invitations out by the end of the week.

If you graded last time (July) it's too early to grade again. Unless we have not retested you yet.
Also the printing shop that I use to print the certificates closed so I haven't printed the July grading certificates yet...

Holiday Program
Haven't had the chance to set up the holiday program in the ticketing system yet but here's the schedule
Waiting on Strike Chatswood to confirm if we can do the bowling session on the 31 October.
Picture

Oh also, ZiChuan has (re)joined the Sydney University Taekwondo instructor team as Kyorugi (sparring) Instructor.

It's been great so far, really good to be back at his alma mater! ZiChuan was assistant instructor at USYD back when he was a student there. It's also good to be back at university taekwondo 7 years after leaving the Head Coach role at UTS Taekwondo to focus on Chung Do.

ZiChuan is currently alternating Monday and Wednesday nights at Chatswood to fit in USYD but will be looking at the Chatswood schedule soon to see if he can make some tweaks to make his Chatswood class appearances more predictable for our Monday teens/adult class and competition teams.
