On the weekend of May 23^rd/24^th I conducted a seminar at Jook-Am Taekwon-Do centre hosted by Senior Master Cunningham. On the Saturday morning we began with the Pandas followed by 10^th Gup – 6^th Gup. In the afternoon we had 5^th Gup to 1^st Gup.  During these sessions we concentrated on warm up, stretching/deep stretching, dynamic floor work and kicking techniques. 100% was given by all participants and a good workout was had by everyone.

 On Sunday morning it was time for 3^rd degree and above followed in the afternoon by 1^st and 2^nd degrees. A number of the 3^rd degree and above stayed on for this session. We concentrated on more of the same areas as the previous day but added some one-step, practical self-defence and some patterns. We also spent time discussing the anatomy of the human body and how the physical aspect of Taekwon-Do is based around it. Describing the anatomical tools used in defence or counter attacks with when confronted by an aggressor. These sessions went very well with lots of interest and questions from the participants. I would like to thank all of those who took part for their attendance in particular Master Stephen Gell, MS. Lorna Caldwell and MS. Michelle McCulloch for their assistance over the two days. I would also like to thank Senior Master Cunningham and Mrs. Shirley Cunningham for the hospitality shown to me during my stay. 

Looking forward to my next visit.
