Taekwondo Central Instructors & Leaders Join ECU Nurses for Sports First Aid Course

November 12, 2017 by Justin Leave a Comment

Thanks to Bunbury St John Ambulance Centre & Melanie Buhlman of ECU & Taekwondo Central,
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

Thank you to Grand Master Ross Hartnett from Taekwondo Ohdokwan, we were very fortunate to attain the same boards used at the upcoming Black Belt Grading on November 26th 2017, so this was a rare chance to spend some time getting it to a high level.

Grad-Shield. Self Defence Lesson For School Leavers

November 10, 2017 by Justin 2 Comments

“Its not what you do for your children,
Its what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.”

Children leaving home can be one of the most exciting and terrifying things to happen as a parent, but it can’t be avoided!
But the whole process of nurturing, caring and teaching them was for this moment, to give them the tools and confidence to go out and make their own life.

Let us help ease some of your worries and set them on a path to success with some valuable skills that could help keep them safe!

EMPOWER them with knowledge. What to look for, what to avoid.
PROTECT them from danger by giving them the skills to escape.
STRENGTHEN them to confidently and efficiently defend themselves.

All sessions are booked privately and are run on a 2 person basis. Bring a friend or take a class together. Each session runs for 1 hour.

For all enquiries and bookings please contact Kelly 0422 332 403
