Yellow Belt Form--

Black Belt Academy

How To TaeKwonDo Black Belt Academy is designed to transform the student from a belt rank to a black belt mentality. Focused black belt training will begin with refining techniques and mastering forms; students will study sparring, KI energy techniques, breaking techniques, and weaponry with a goal of increasing individual power.

Students who have successfully passed the Annual Black Belt Exams through Athens TaeKwonDo become eligible to gain their Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo headquarters) certification via Skype trainings and Promotion via video link to Master Jensen in California (one of my training partners from my youth school).

Black Belt Academy Meets Sundays at 6pm

White Belt Poomse 2--Kicho 2

Here is the Second White Belt Form.

--Notice the "Chambering" of the Leg as the student moves forward to block up or high. The feet are drawn in closer together, almost so to set up the pivot and generate that power from the foot to the hand.  The notion of generating this type of spinning power is essential to good impact.

White Belt Form 1: Ki Bon Il Jang

Here is what I came to know as Ki Bon Il Jang or White Belt Form 1:
Two Technical differences have this version drawing the feet together as the student steps forward, and the Ki-hop in this version is delivered after the technique.

Also, the name for "form" in TaeKwonDo was "Poomse".

Supermarket--How To Tae Kwon Do

How To TaeKwonDo announces the Opening of the

 TaeKwonDo Supermarket.

 

GONGONGONGONGONGONGONGONGGONGONGONGONGONGONGONGONG

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Athens TaeKwonDo has a belt test scheduled for March 2015.  Between February 1 and Mid-March,  students should work on their basic uniform, bag, and footwear.  I'd like us all to have basic white V-Neck Uniforms with the standard patches you see below. 

I'd also like for students to arrive in plain clothes and change over to the dobok in the locker room.  Students can wear shorts or Under Armor below their uniform if they prefer. I'd also like us all to have some form of soft training shoe.

 

You do not have to get your gear here, and it doesn't have to be this exact uniform brand for instance.  I've also included a few accessory items such as DVD's and T shirts, and feel free to request items, and I can check with our supplier, Martial Arts Supermarket.
