2.2.2024 / Sonkal's taekwon-do camp

No snow, but lots of taekwondo

Winter camp was all about dynamic weather this year, but the snow was sadly lacking. What we missed more were a few participants who were taken down by illness at the last minute, and also Pavel Zavadil, who was supposed to be the yellow and green belt coach. So it was time to improvise, but the fighters have to adapt.

The list of negatives would be over and now only the positives and social security, as they say in a Czech film classic.

The big positive was the pile of newcomers at the camp, and I don't mean just the belt-beginners, but those taekwondo players who came to the camp with us for the first time. The list of participants numbered about 50 taekwondo players from 6 to 53 years old. During the training sessions, we focused on practicing the exam program, but there was also enough space for gymnastics, falls, self-defense or self-defense against knives for the higher belts. Likewise, we dedicated part of the training sessions of the higher belts to sparring.

After the Sunday lunch we had no choice but to pack our fiddles, put the rooms in their original state and jump on the bus towards Černý Most.

The winter camp was again a success, although the weather was not completely wintry, and we are already looking forward to the Easter camp. And we hope that the weather will be more cooperative!
