First TaeKwonDo - 2023 Beach Training - Coogee WA v2

First TaeKwonDo WA Beach Training is an invite-only training session and one of the first opportunities for our 1st Kup students to train alongside their Black Belt seniors, before taking their Black Belt Exam. In true Perth fashion, the weather held out and provided all of our attending members with a change in training scenery down at the picturesque Coogee Beach. It was wonderful to see our First TaeKwonDo WA ‘Acta Non Verba’ motto on display by all those Black Belts and 1st Kup students, committing to another training session, in a short period of time; so close to the March Grading Exam.
The 2-hour training session was run by four of our younger 2nd Dan Instructors; Ins Amy, Ins Brendan, Ins Mia and Ins Jamus. With these three Instructors running the session, we constantly see a variety of innovative training exercises and drills used down on the sand, in the water and back on the grass.
With students attending from across our 23x WA training centres, it was exciting to see the many promising 1st Kups training outside their comfort zones and mixing it up with our dedicated Instructors & Black Belts. Chief Instructor Dane was pleased with the standard of those who attended and commented that the 1st Kups appear to be taking their training towards Black Belt seriously and show great promise for a future Black Belt promotion within our Traditional TaeKwonDo school. A number of 1st Kups in attendance will be applying to sit their Black Belt exams and possibly joining the WA Black Belt ranks in the not too distant future.
