9.2.2021 / Online international technical seminar with GM Hwang Ho-yong


Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the las weekend was dedicated to the online International Taekwondo Seminar not even in Prague but all over the world. Based on our good experience, the seminar was run on the ZOOM App as tested many times before.

To prevent any issue, we installed all the necessities to run the online seminar on Friday evening which did not prevent us from improvisation. Because of the local installation which resulted in transmission issues, we had to find out the way to make it happen and we finally did.

Having tested all the camera settings and installation, GM Hwang Ho-yong, Master Martin Zámečník and the most experienced demonstrator Pavel Zavadil showed up at 9:30 am. By 10:00 am, the president of the Czech Taekwondo federation Marek Lazor kicked out the YouTube stream as well as Alex Mach did the same with ZOOM App. There were more than 60 participants connected via ZOOM App from 90 participants in total.

During the morning part of the seminar, GM Hwang Ho-yong went through the theory, fundamental movements as well as techniques followed by taekwondo patterns. Me and Martin Zámečník was honoured to provide with the interpretation to make sure everyone in the world understands. Whenever GM Hwang Ho-yong mixed English and Czech all together, I got confused of what language I was translating to.

Lately, Martin Svitek showed up to help Pavel with pattern demonstrations during the afternoon part of the seminar which lasted 3 hours. We made it up to Po-Eun and we discussed all the questions to provide all participants with the maximum information on techniques and patterns.

The Sunday’s part of the seminar was the busiest one. Despite of making it up to Tong-Il, I would personally leave something for the next seminar to deep dive techniques and patterns. Not to forget, the another demonstrator was present, the leading instructor of the Toi-Ge club Petr Smejkal who helped Pavel Zavadil with all the hard job.

At the very end of the online international seminar, the surprising secret very well protected from getting know with the purpose of surprising master Martin Zámečník were introduced to celebrate his big day. Martin got two huge cakes with the number 44 as a gift to remind him his birthday. From my point of view, this was really sweet ending of the inspiring and excellent online taekwondo seminar with GM Hwang Ho-yong. Personally, I am really looking forward to attending other seminars with GM Hwang Ho-yong such as Instructor Seminar (20-21 March 2021) and Technical Seminar (10– 11 April 2021).

Guys, sneak into the gallery to take a look on photos and make sure you will not miss the other seminars. I got more experienced and enjoyed it very much despite of it is much better to train in the gym.
