Day 2

Day 2, session starts at 8.30 am with roll-call for attendance then we gone to continue with the senior poomsae practice. This time we spent 2 hours on Taegeuk 8 all the way to Taeback. The grandmaster spent a lot of time in correcting our stances i.e. too wide, too long, knee position etc.

The theory for the day is on Promotion test. The grandmaster explained on how the promotion test is being conducted and how is it graded. Also only the Kukkiwon Black Belt certificate is recognized internationally. No other black belt certificate other than the Kukkiwon's is recognized.

In the afternoon, we were drilled on how to teach kyorugi. The kyorugi master emphasize on the footwork first before kicking. After mastering the footwork, then the basic kick comes into play. He taught us the correct way of executing the dollyo chagi (roundhouse kick) and the back kick. A lot of movement training involved.

After the sparring session, we continue with the senior poomsae of Pyongwon to Jitae. Again the grandmaster emphasis on the stances, the execution of the advance technique, the breathing and the head position. Upon completing the senior poomsae, roll call was again being done to ensure nobody skip any of the sessions so that they participants are really present and gone through the entire seminar to be certified.
