TAE KWON DO ASSOCIATION IRELAND SEMINAR 2009

Master Kirkwood would like to take this opportunity to thank Master Patrick White of the TAI Organisation of Ireland for inviting him to undertake a seminar for the organisation on the 21st March, 2009.  He would also like to especially thank his Instructor and friend Master John Darcy who supported him and attended the seminar with him.

The seminar attracted not only students from the TAI organisation, but also from A.I.M.A.A Ireland. Master Kirkwood would like to personally thank Mr Will Power, Ashling Ryan and Sean O Connell who had travelled from Limerick (over 300 miles away from Dublin) to attend the seminar, not only showing their dedication to the art of Taekwondo, but also their support of Master Kirkwood. Master Kirkwood would also like to thank Mr Gerry Long, Mr Daniel Farrell and Mr Paul Healy for their support in attending the event with A.I.M.A.A students. All the Instructors and students from both associations had given up their Saturday to attend the event and Master Kirkwood was overwhelmed by their support.

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, as well as introducing students to various exercises for strengthening the body's core and producing explosive speed.

The seminar was very informative, hard and fun, as each student learnt new skills in sparring. The TAI students enjoyed this seminar as did the A.I.M.A.A students who attended.
