The latest updates from our Traditional Taekwondo school in Heidelberg

On 11^th of October, it was that time again: Julia from Kkeungi Traditional Taekwon Do invited us to a training course in Ludwigsburg. We also celebrated the 10th anniversary of her group and the reopening as her school this year. Congratulations, dear Julia!

With three different training sessions, the programme was very varied. We started with basic techniques (Anna – Uiji-Do), then self-defence (Lena – Taekwondo Mainz City) and then power techniques (Peter - yeoljoeng).

Students of all ages and from all four schools took advantage of the opportunity to train with different coaches and travelled from Mainz, Schriesheim and Heidelberg to attend.

After the strenuous training, we went to the legendary pumpkin festival at Blühendes Barock. The figures made entirely of pumpkins were really impressive and the various pumpkin dishes very tasty.

We are already looking forward to next year!

On 22^nd of September, uiji-do Traditional Taekwondo launched in Heidelberg's city centre. 🎉

We would like to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who made this possible! 💕

3 different age groups have started training, and minis, kids and adults are showing up for training with beaming faces.

On 4^th of October (after only two weeks of training!), 4 brave kids 💪 joined me on a trip to Schriesheim to visit yeoljeong Taekwon-Do for a training session and to watch the children's exams.

In addition to regular training, there are always extra courses like this. And so, we’re already looking forward to next Saturday. Then we will visit Julia from kkeungi Traditional Taekwon Do in Ludwigsburg for three different training sessions and a visit at the pumpkin festival. 🤜 🤗

A weekend full of taekwondo experiences. Many thanks to Sonja, Beatriz, Peter and Frank for the opportunity to hold a course at the yeoljeong Taekwon-Do summer festival in Schriesheim! So many motivated, beaming trainees are a highlight!

When we were guests in Mainz, Andy passed his green belt exam with ease as a joint student of Julia and me. His passion for traditional Taekwon-Do had taken hold of him in Göppingen - he has been training with Julia at her school in Ludwigsburg (kkeungi Traditional Taekwon Do) for a year now and has found his new Taekwondo home there.

Traditional taekwondo for kids took place 5 times this week in Heidelberg: as part of the parents' project week at the HPC primary school and as part of the TopNotes Summer Camp. The kids learnt lots of blocks and kicks and then tested their accuracy and strength on targets.

They all started with different prerequisites and by the end of the week they were all familiar with the techniques, so we had a training like in the Taekwondo school.

I am proud of the kids - what they have learnt and shown - but above all how happy they are when they succeed in their moves.

I feel the same way! And so I can hardly wait for the regular start of training in September.
