FASTTRACK Term 4 grading numbers quadruple from Term 3

November 19, 2017 by Justin 2 Comments

The FASTTRACK grading was designed for one thing. Reward the disciplined, and why not? I think its fair and encourages people to step up and become greater martial arts just through greater hours of experience

Term 4 FASTTRACK numbers increased up 4X as the more dedicated student has realised their is reward for effort. From Yellow Dragon up to probationary Blackbelt. from ages 4 to 40’s.

The Lesson = If you strive for a higher level, put in the effort and commit yourself, the reward is at the end, not just in level but greater health and personal satisfaction for life

–

The highest belt that can be achieved before black belt is Cho Dan Bo, The probationary Black Belt level is the sign of adaptability of skill. gaining enough experience to turn “Drills into Skills”

We would like to congratulate Australind Family Class, Melanie Buhlman. Mel has attained her probationary level black belt at the FASTTRACK grading and at a high level also. Mels level is such a great example of what can be attained if you commit, push yourself, and don’t sit where 90% of the population sit watching life go by.

Mel you are a champ!! Its the home stretch

(Full List of all students will be up very soon)

We were given a great opportunity to improve skills by attending a first aid course that was sports related.

Ajana Plunkett, John Crawford, Luke Crane, Kelly Platts, Rebecca Collis, Melanie Buhlman & Gary Veljacich all represented the club at the event

The course included basic life support with the DRSABCD action plan where we resuscitated and defibrillated the mannequins. Adapting the recovery position to a person with suspected head, neck and/or spinal injuries, applying splints, slings and pressure bandages to each other so the we became familiar with immobilising sprains, strains fractures, dislocations and managing a severely bleeding wound. Epi-pens to treat allergic reactions were also covered, with an emergency action. plan for asthma attacks and learned what to do if a person gets winded or faints.

Also included were first aid treatment of eye and dental injuries as well as choking on a foreign body, such as a mouth guard.

Board Breaking Seminar Draws 20 Taekwondo Central Red & Black Belts

November 10, 2017 by Justin Leave a Comment

Taekwondo Centrals Board Breaking Seminar was a great success with a solid turn out

Board Breaking Seminar starts with a good stretch
–

Students were taught the elements that make a successful board break which is a test of Technique, Speed, Power, Accuracy and Follow Through. Board Breaking is a crucial part of Taekwondo Gradings and can be a make or break point in the Taekwondo Black Belt Examination
