23.3.2025 / Training day (no only) for European Championship

Joint preparation on Černý Most

Sonkal took part in the joint preparation for the European Championships in Tallinn, which is organized by the Czech Taekwon-Do ITF Federation and individual clubs. The first of our training days was scheduled for the middle of March, Saturday 15. In the gym of Vybíralova Primary School, during the morning and afternoon block, 30 taekwondo players from Dan-Gun, Kwang-Myong, GBHS, Silla, Ge-Baek Mlada Boleslav, Na-Mu, Pardubice and also the organizing Sonkal took turns.

The morning two-hour block was focused on training of special techniques and patterns. Before the actual jumping, Blazepod reaction lights were used to warm everyone up to operating temperature in a fun way. Participants used two prepared stands, including our latest addition from TPS, which is extremely safe and very easy to use. The second part was dedicated to practice sets and intermediate corrections.

The afternoon block belonged exclusively to drills and sparring sessions. The initial warm-up was provided by Master Ondřej Vrábel and was focused on the development of movement and automation of basic movement habits. Combination drills were performed by a very experienced fighter Hubert Skála. The combinations were prepared in such a way that they build on each other and were very easy for everyone to master, regardless of their technical level or level of experience. The end belonged to the fights themselves, which were very varied thanks to the large number of training partners.

Thanks also go to the heads of the schools Silla and Pardubice, Radka Heydušková and Radek Kolář, who were actively involved in corrections and advice during both training sessions.

The second day of training at Černý Most will take place on Saturday 12 April and this time the morning block will focus purely on patterns and perfecting them for the European Championships. In the afternoon there will be a purely sport fight. Anyone who would like to attend our regular Saturday training session on 29 March from 2 to 4 pm is welcome to do so. You can come and work out all you want or join the organized parts of the sport fight under the baton of Hubert Skála.
