Fitness Training

Currently I am doing a lot of fitness training with my senior students as a way to increase their strength and power. The fitness training consists of all the fitness components namely: muscular strength and endurance. cardio, power, speed etc.

As they are not only senior students but also teenagers, it is also good to improve on their physical outlook by increasing their strength and power. We doing a lot of sit-ups and now we just starting on push-up too...

Later, I'll incorporate lower body strength training in the training...

Team Poomsae

It is not easy for the students to do a team poomsae if they have not had any experience doing it. It also not an easy task since it required synchronization of all the team members. The team need to have some sort of chemistry and understanding of each other movement and timing in order for them to be able to perform the poomsae.

Currently I am working with a few teams and trying to teach them to learn to 'feel ' each others' movements so that they can actually get the timing and synchronization before actually perform the poomsae with power. This take some time but they understand what I'm teaching them and with only one lesson, they are able to get the timing and synchronization. We will then work on the power this coming lesson.
