Term 3 – Introduction to Self Defence
15/09/2019 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$30
Introduction to Self Defence
Ages 14+
Limited 16 students
Instructor: Tripharn Teki
The Self Defence workshop is introductory, and focuses on the practical application of Taekwondo in a self-defence scenario. It will highlight the application of blocks, strikes and poomsae from a self-defence, non-competition, perspective. In the two-hour session we will discuss the science of generating power, practice how blocking and striking techniques can be used in self defence, followed by the practical application of poomsae. Fundamentally, this workshop will introduce students to interpreting the application of poomsae for themselves, rather than providing set interpretations by the instructor(s) without depth or context. It is limited to students aged 14+ (please discuss with Tripharn if you have someone younger who you believe is suitable) due to an increasing focus on real life scenarios, combined with increasing level of resistance from the threat. This is often not suitable for younger students.
This workshop is open to family and friends of students aged 14+, and no experience is necessary.
Registration is crucial as workshops have limited places.
Cost
$30 / workshop. Payment can also be made in cash on the day, however, Paypal is preferred.
