Training Tips...
PRACTICE WITH INTENT
Practice makes perfect. But it is not only mechanics of technique that we need to be concerned with. If you punch the Smartie Pads for an hour, you will develop stamina and reasonable power in your punches. But if you punch the Smartie Pads for an hour five days a week week for 52 weeks, you will not improve 260 times more (5 x 52 = 260).
You need to consistently challenge yourself with specific details. I like to think of this as practicing with intent. Do you want to be able to pull off the Reverse Turning kick smoothly within a punch combination?
Then, how do you change from hands to the Reverse Turning Kick?
How do you adjust for distance?
Is there more than one hand technique that will provide you with a smooth transition?
Know the specifics of what you are trying to achieve and practice with this in mind.
Also, longer is not necessarily better. How "compact your training is what determines their effectiveness.
The same is true in our classes. Although the Sabum is in charge of the specific exercises you can still have an objective within those exercises. For example, decide to do everything a half beat faster than the others. Or when you spar include at least one kick in every combination...
GET OUT AND COMPETE
Experience makes a person grow. A Taekwon-Do practitioner with 2 years training and 10 competitions behind them is likely to have more insight than a martial artist with 10 years and no competitions. It's not necessary to be perfect before you step onto the square to compete. It's the process of competition itself that will catapult you forward. The intense experience of competition will give you insight and enable you to hold conversations about Taekwon-Do that others will envy.
You can also compete in the Do-Jang (Training Hall) either through open competition against other students or through silent competition in which you compete without the other's knowledge. You can do this by constantly comparing yourself to your peers and strive to become better than the best in your class. I have found silent competition to be a great motivator, but there must be other students who are better than you so that you have somthing to strive for.
Man should attempt to dwell in the largest mansion in the world, stand on the correct place and walk on the broadest street.
(Man's most comfortable and secure dwelling is his own virtuous mind. He should always stand on the side of justice and live honestly and fairly).

Martial arts reading – before you begin
Do you know why you want to take up martial arts? At Spirit Taekwondo Academies, the experts believe that there are some very straightforward reasons why people choose to take up martial arts. Reading the thoughts of these experienced practitioners and trainers could help you to make up your mind about which area you want to study:
• For fitness – for many people, fitness is the main reason for taking up martial arts. Reading what some people say about these sports, it’s easy to see why. Martial arts training is physically tough and is a great way to get fit. Many people train several times a week, and martial arts offer a whole-body workout.
• For the mind – martial arts may be very physical but they all usually have a spiritual side too. Martial arts reading materials show that many forms of martial arts are closely connected with the culture and beliefs of those people who developed, practised and trained in these arts, and the spiritual element draws many new people to the discipline.
• For self-defence – of course, self-defence is an important reason for considering martial arts. Reading books and watching films can show the extreme side of martial arts, but the truth is that you will learn how to defend yourself if you have to. For many people, this is the most important reason to take up martial arts.
