Description:

Team USA posted a record 20 medals at the 2014 World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships, and earned an unprecedented 28 medals (19 gold) at the 2015 Pan Am Championships/Open – come and learn some of the training methods that made that performance possible! Coaches Chuang, Nguyen and Brand will explain the training methods used to train athletes of all levels, from novice competitors through world-medalist caliber athletes.

Session 1 (1p-3p) will focus on correct poomsae fundamentals (hand techiques, kicking and transitions), accuracy, and a subset of the Taeguek forms.

Session 2 (3:30p-6:30p) will focus on advanced training techniques to maximize presentation for competition, and will cover some of the Dan-level forms.

For black belts, both sessions are recommended as the afternoon session will build on the morning session. However, the morning session is not required for the afternoon session.
