In the last two years the virus Covid 19 has brought about a lot of troubles in our lives. As Taekwon-Do trainees we were very influenced by this disease mostly in training classes, seminars and competitions, which could only be held under strict rules, or were totally canceled. For that reason, the last Championship of the Czech Republic took place two years ago in November 2019. The following year the competition was canceled and so was our autumn camp which is meant to be our preparation for the contest. All of us were afraid of what the situation would allow us this year. Although we

This year's third online international technical seminar with Grand Master Hwang Ho-yong was subtitled the last one. And why the last one? Because we hope that anti-covid measures will continue to enable physical gatherings like the seminars. The content of the seminar was traditional - theory, fundamental movements, patterns and system of sparring. Some might say it's the same thing over and over again, but each participant got a chance to learn new things or rather become aware of them. I have attended my third international seminar with the Grand Master this year and several other smalle

Last weekend was one of those really hectic ones. After Friday's preparation, Saturday's Sonkal Open and Sunday's block of the national training camp and mainly the tests for the technical grades of dan, i.e. black belts. One of the candidates was Tereza Simandlová, who has been a member of the Czech national team since June this year and will take part in the European Championships in Crete in a few weeks. Despite a slight health handicap in the previous days, Terka showed a very good performance and deservedly, like the other colleagues from the national team, won I. dan. Terka together

Take a look at the photos from the second day of the training camp in Malé Svatoňovice. And we have photos from the third and fourth day. Wednesday (day 5) was a free day, but filled with several competitions and trips to the lookout tower and to the local mining equipment exhibition.

In February, we had our first technical seminar in the online world. After such a successful event, an online instructor course followed not so long after. The Zoom platform was used again, but there was one difference- number of participants. I personally expected something like 50 or 60 of them, but the final number of 140 participants was just incredible. The mere amount of people who attended it, meant success. The whole two days long seminar was led by grandmaster Hwang Ho- Yong (IX. Dan) with assistance from myself and Master Martin Zámečník. For me, it was a first time in this role

At the weekend 6th-7th February the International seminar under the lead of Grandmaster Hwang ho Yong IX. degree took place. For there were lots of students from foreign countries the teaching was in English. Masters Martin Zámečník VII. degree and Ondřej Vrábel VII. degree helped Grandmaster Hwang with the explanation. Pavel Zavadil III. degree and Martin Svitek V. degree appeared as the demonstrators. Because of the Corona virus situation, the whole seminar was broadcast online via Zoom which was a little drawback for nobody could practice under the direct Grandmaster´s supervision.

In the first half of August, we undertook a South Bohemian mission, the expansion of our Prague & Taekwon-Do project. With words of a classic - Prague was already small for us ... We will bring you many more interesting places from Prague, but there was also an opportunity to approach two very interesting tourist cities in South Bohemia - Český Krumlov and Třeboň. Český Krumlov was not under siege due to the absence of foreign tourists, so we managed to shoot it with Sonkal’s forces. In the region of ponds, ponds and ponds, we welcomed the help of members of the Třeboň taekwondo sc
