SEMINAR 9TH MARCH 2008
MR DECLAN
DERMODY ROLESTOWN SCHOOL OF CHO'S TAEKWONDO
Master Kirkwood would like to take this opportunity to thank his
senior students for travelling with him to Ireland for his
seminars. Master Kirkwood was accompanied by his son Ryan
Kirkwood, Mr William Reid, Jack Reid, Mrs Cecila Gough, Kara
Gough and Kirsty Gough. Master Kirkwood would also like to thank
Mr Will Power and Mr Declan Dermody for holding the seminars in
their schools as well as organising them for A.I.M.A.A Ireland.
He
would also like to especially thank his Instructor and friend
Master John Darcy who supported him throughout the trip and
travelled all the way from Dublin to be at his side in Limerick.
A special thank you also goes to Master Peter Byrne who also
supported Master Kirkwood by attending the Limerick seminar.
A.I.M.A.A Ireland are very fortunate to have two Masters on
their doorstep, two men who are at the forefront of A.I.M.A.A
and the art of Taekwondo.
Master Kirkwood has overwhelmed by the support from A.I.M.A.A
Ireland and was very honoured and humbled by the support shown.
He thanks all the A.I.M.A.A Ireland Instructors, Assistant
Instructors and students for attending the two day event and
looks forward to teaching in Ireland again.
The
seminars broke down the basics of point sparring showing the
basic moves for blocking and counter attacking. This was
followed by combinations of hand and leg techniques. Master
Kirkwood is still fast at this sport and still competes today
with competitors half his age.
The
second part of the seminar was a 45 minute session of
plyometrics, which trains the muscles for explosive power.
Explosive power is one of the main elements when sparring in
points or continuous. Students from both Limerick and Dublin
enjoyed the seminar and the plyometrics, which was new to most
of them. Master Kirkwood looks forward to teaching again in
Ireland and will undertake intermediate and advanced plyometrics
to the students next time round.
