Unlimited Classes / Our New Approach

UNLIMITED CLASSES / OUR NEW APPROACH TO INCREASE VALUE

Being a mobile martial arts club, we can run into some problems. Changing to a term fee from a pay as you train also has required some adjustments to keep it good value for our members.
Were still finding our way and slowly coming up with solutions. continually updating and moving forward.

Something we wish to find a solution.
for is cancelled classes for either
– Public Holidays
– Room Unavailability
– Instructor Illness / Unavailability

I understand this can drop the value of a term pass due to less training sessions per term so we wish to rectify this.

So, I have decided to make a change to our policy which will help offer an answer.
The balance between making enough to cover costs and
adding as much value is a challenge for any business.
However, adding more value to our students is something we can achieve.

UNLIMITED CLASSES
Students can now train as many times as they wish per week in any of our Taekwondo Central mainstream classes Monday to Thursday.
These must be age appropriate. (ie. Dragons must stick to Dragon classes) This will cost no extra.

Meaning a person who trains 4 time per week can get extreme value.
A Dragon can cost the equivalent of just over $3.10 per class.
A Taekwondo Student as low as $4.25 per class.
You can now lift your level without paying anymore.
Spend more time perfecting your grading techniques,
thus, achieving a high personal level.

Switch and change as you need, if a class is cancelled,
there will be ample opportunity to train at another venue if needed.

GRADING / BELT EXAMINATION
Term Passes will still have you nominate your grading period.
This will continue to be the same. You can nominate your choice of
either grading every term (Gold Term Pass)
or every second term (Silver Term Pass)
Your fee will be based off your grading term not per class as before
this will enable students to put in extra time without extra cost.

We hope you all enjoy this change of policy.
Heres our timetable

Great Fun Had At Board Breaking Seminar

Our Board Breaking Seminars are always great fun and its a feeling like no other when you feel the “crack” sound of the board as it smashes into 2 or more pieces.

We always get a good response to this twice yearly seminar. The seminars are strategically placed so our participants in the upcoming black belt grading get a practise at a part of the grading that is crucial to pass

Board breaking is a true indication of technique and effectiveness of strike.
It teaches how to follow through on a strike or kick correctly and not just hit at a target.
Distribution of weight, and effectiveness.

For example a side kick that contacts with the wrong part of the foot will not break the board.
If the board is held wrong the board wont break.
These little lessons are crucial to understand if attempting your black belt grading.
It enables you to take control of your own board break and fix possible mistakes by the board holders

Great Result From 2019 Mid Year Black Belt Grading. New Head Instructor Level & Best Grading Award Amongst Results

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Taekwondo Central has made an addition to its Black Belt population by having six pass their Black Belt level in front of two Grandmasters of taekwondo (Ross Hartnett, Ninth Dan Black Belt and Carmela Hartnett, Eighth Dan Black Belt) in Perth.

Instructor John Crawford, 21, from Dalyellup led the way by moving up to his Head Instructor level (Fourth Dan Black Belt), a level few ever make in martial arts.

John is one of only four who have achieved this level in the club’s 20 years of operation. This level takes some 10 years of training to achieve.
Mother and daughter combination Melanie Buhlmann, 47, and Rebecca Buhlmann, 12, from Australind put on a great display to earn their Second Dan Black Belts. A great memory for both of them to cherish.

Donnybrook’s Rebecca Collis, 22, kicked and punched her way to a Second Dan Black Belt under the watchful eye of the Grandmasters, showing that she had what it takes to make the level.

Newly-crowned First Dan Black Belts Lachlan Teune, 12, and Bianca Stranger, 11, both of Bunbury did the club proud by earning their new level after some four years of training.
All six students had to put on a display of taekwondo patterns, kicking combinations, punch and kick defences, self defence against various attacks, sport taekwondo sparring, kickboxing style sparring, and knife defence techniques.

They also had to show accuracy and power through demonstrating various board breaking techniques.
The team was supported by many club members who made the trip up.

Master Head Instructor Justin Warren (Sixth Dan) and Head Instructor Ajana Plunkett (Fourth Dan) were also members of the Taekwondo Ohdokwan judging panel.

Melanie Buhlmann put in a special performance to earn the Best Grading Award by the panel, amongst some 60 people applying for their Black Belts from around the state.
What makes her effort even more amazing is that she recently recovered from a non-training broken back injury.
“We are all so happy with our team,” Master Warren said.

“They did our club very proud, not only in skill level but also in the way they conducted themselves which is what we also teach at our club.
“Taekwondo is so much more than self protection and physical and mental health.

“The aspects of respect and lifting yourself to a higher personal level are also taught in our teachings. They’re traits that can improve your life.”
The next Black Belt grading is set for November 24, in which the club has around 10 students focused on achieving.

Taekwondo Central runs classes throughout Bunbury, East Bunbury, Eaton, and Australind, and new members are always welcome to take up the personal journey to Black Belt.

A Question For You: What If You Already Have What It Takes? – Melanie Buhlmann

Black Belts are the wisdom of our club Taekwondo Central, Great people from all walks of life focused on self improvement. Melanie Buhlmann is one of those people we all love at the club. A genuine soul with a high work ethic and someone we all look up to.

Mel is the last person I double graded a belt, twice. Mel humbly rejected the second as she wanted to do the journey to black belt with her family. This is the type of person you get in Mel. Her ability to pick up Taekwondo was as impressive as her mannerisms. Now 3 members of her family. Partner Gary Veljacich, Daughter Rebecca Buhlmann (& Mel herself) are Black Belt and the 4th is on his way being son Eric Buhlmann.

I asked Mel some time back about contributing to our webpage. I hadn’t pushed as I knew the result would be great and it was well worth the wait. I know you’ll agree, so enjoy….

A Question For You: What If You Already Have What It Takes?

 

Okay – the title may sound a little controversial. Please let us explain where this question is headed, it might make you think of a thing or two about yourself.

A little while back, I was asked to write something Taekwondo related for the website. I had no idea what we could possibly contribute. We read amazing articles on this site over the years, which all sent a loud and clear unified message. “Learning a martial art, such as Taekwondo, is good for you in so many ways!” The far-reaching benefits have been well portrayed by the instructors and members of the club, with convincing evidence based on their exceptional personal achievements. Congratulations to you all, how awesome!!! What more could be said?

We started thinking…

We are Taekwondo parents and club member ourselves, and you might associate as we share our experience, that when we and our kids started training here, we were unsure whether we had what it takes to ‘cut it’ at TKD Central.

Of course, nobody knows what the future holds, but initially, we were very hesitant to believe that we would be able to develop the necessary traits to pass gradings or ever reach Blackbelt.

So regardless of what belt level you are working on at the moment or if you are a spectator toying with the idea of starting training yourself, we have an interesting question for you to consider: What if you already have those necessary traits to ‘cut it‘ at TKD Central?

Undecided on our big call? Please let us unravel this idea…

Without implying that we got it all, know it all and won’t need to learn more skills, techniques and refinements from your instructors; nor suggesting we won’t need to develop our mindset and train hard to practice and improve – just think for a moment: What if you were meant for this and always had what it takes?

What if you have it all within yourself already and that is the reason you are here at TKD Central reading this write-up right now?

Think courage: Have you ever acknowledged the courage that is required to even contemplate attending a first class, as well as coming back for a second, third, forth and so on? Just because you were nervous about lining up in the back row and perhaps worried how you’d survive the warm-up, doesn‘t mean that you were not already courageous enough to take a plunge. Locate and trust the courage you have within yourself.

Consider focus: You centre your attention and concentrate to execute the technical aspects of Taekwondo. Without your already sharp mind amidst a society rife with distraction and convolution of your thoughts, do you believe you would have achieved the clarity to decide learning something new like Taekwondo? Something that demands your absolute awareness while you train? Allows you to ignore your constant news feed and offers a refreshing mental break from work, study, school or other personal challenges? Foster the focus you have within yourself.

Choose respect: Right, prior to Taekwondo, you may not have felt the urge to bow when expressing our gratitude to someone who was helping you. And yet now, you show deep admiration for the expertise of the instructors and assistants before, during and after your class every time you bow. If respect was not already valued and close to your heart, would you have regarded an activity entrenched in a hierarchical structure based on rank and seniority as pleasant? Take every opportunity to show the respect you have within yourself.

Then there are the 5 tenets of Taekwondo: Courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. They are the gatekeepers which control the crowd by providing guidance and direction. They dictate what is necessary to succeed here.

Do you think you or your kid(s) already nurture and grow the 5 tenets within yourselves? Contentious and debatable? Maybe not! Read on please…

The virtue of courtesy demands politeness and good manners. The kind consideration you encounter when you interact with the instructors, assistants and members of the club. For example, despite teaching hundreds of students and dealing with just as many parents, the instructors and assistants know you and address you by name. If you were inherently impolite, rude and pompous yourself, do you think you would feel enticed to practice a sport where you listen attentively when instructors speak. Would you be here if you did not want to tolerate ideas, beliefs and opinions of others and ultimately build your character? You have sincere kindness within yourself and show it through courtesy.

Integrity is explained straightforward. You train to the best of your ability, you kick hard and spar fair, even when you think your instructors are not watching (although they always are!). Integrity simply translates to doing the right thing for the right reason, even if nobody sees it. That may be challenging sometimes, because it teaches you to validate your own actions, all by yourself without an audience. Without integrity, do you think you would have felt inspired to learn skills that remain mainly concealed, and yet set you apart in a crowd of people? Within yourself, you have integrity based on your own strong moral principles and the quality of being honest enough to do the right thing in every situation.

How about perseverance. Climbing the belt levels and pushing the limits when the syllabus gets tougher certainly demands persistence. Perseverance lets you become determined to do something despite difficulty, just like you do every single time you show up to training. Do you think, starting Taekwondo would have sounded appealing to you if you were fundamentally lazy, un-motivated and felt indifferent about investing some effort in exchange of great personal accomplishments? Be tenacious to strengthen the perseverance you have within yourself.

Self-control is not always easy. Those who know us noticed that we celebrate life and enjoy living it to the fullest (ha, under-statement!). However, without sounding like complete hypocrites, when it comes to Taekwondo, self-control is actually a piece of cake: You look out for your training partner and keep your emotions, impulses and strength in check, easy! Your self-control propelled you to make the necessary sacrifices to get involved with TKD Central in the first place. Do you not already control your time, finances, life-style and competing priorities to get to class? Harness the self-control you have within yourself.

Last but not least: Indomitable Spirit – what does that even mean? It implies that you are strong and brave and can take a knock, so to speak. Not literally, just metaphorically. You are resilient and not easily overcome in the face of adversity. If you were truly fearful because of the challenges life threw at you in the past, do you think you would expose yourself to more? So can you see that you are already spirited with indomitable stuff by immersing yourself in this unfamiliar Taekwondo adventure and adapt to the new circumstances as they arise? Embrace the indomitable spirit you have within yourself.

What do you think now? Can it be that you came to TKD Central because of who you already are? So – what if you always had what it takes to be who you need to be?

What you seek may already be within yourself and will grow as you put in the effort to learn, practice and advance. Acknowledge and cultivate those inner traits under the guidance of the club’s devoted and enthusiastic instructors and assistants.

Dare to believe in who you are and imagine where it will take you – Blackbelt and beyond! Pursue your next level or check the class timetable to make a start.

Taekwondo Centrals Head Instructor Ajana Plunkett Nominated For WA Young Achievers Award

Taekwondo Centrals Head Instructor Ajana Plunkett has been nominated for the WA Young Achievers Awards 2019 for Youth Leadership.

I have seen Ajana grow from a little 5 year old girl to an amazing young woman. From competing in the earlier days to now taking over the Head Instructor status of the club. She has grown into an amazing leader that I am very proud of

Being Taekwondo Central longest running member outside the founders, the 4th Dan Blackbelt is now looking at earning her Master Status in Taekwondo next year. She will be just 21 years of age.
Ajana is a friend, a daughter like character and helps me keep the clubs standard high, as you will read, I am very grateful for all that she has done for both myself and the club. I truly feel blessed to have her as part of my life

Nominations are quite large so here’s the summing up section at the end. Win or not, I feel very proud to get a chance to give her some real recognition of all the peoples lives she has touched

QUESTION – Has the nominee’s efforts led to sustainable positive outcomes? If so, describe what those outcomes are?

Without a doubt Ajana has had a positive impact on many.
From influencing a young shy child to come out from hiding behind mum and learn some moves, rushing to aid members parents after the death of their child in an accident, from personally testing every member on the skill level to pass a belt to encouraging and training black belts to stand before front the grandmasters to step up a level or giving up time to help a group of women escaping domestic violence. Even volunteering her time for “The Pink Belt Scholarship” created by a Taekwondo Central student Kristy Hitchens to help women access martial arts classes who can’t afford it.

She reminds women that they are strong and they have hidden strength that can be accessed, empowering them by her own martial arts ability, a truly unique individual. Men, women, teens, tweens and children all look up to her and trust her with their self defence needs

But mostly I imagine the greatest gratitude comes from me. Ajana has always been special to me. She is like the daughter I never had but she has given me something that I dreamed. A chance of a future for this club I developed some 20 years ago. Many martial arts schools only last a generation. Once the masters pass away the club falls. In Ajana and the leaders that follow her there is now a chance of a future for Taekwondo Central and the many lessons that our school teaches our students and not just martial arts but life skills

QUESTION – In 100 words, summarise the nominee’s key achievements for media, judging and promotional material including use on the Awards night

As a girl Ajana Plunkett walked into a local Taekwondo class. 15 years on, earning 4th dan black belt and a junior world taekwondo expo champion title. Ajana is now the clubs head instructor
From influencing a shy child to come out from hiding to learn, testing 200 members on skill level to pass a belt, or giving up time to help a group of women learn self-protection. Ajana is driven to help, and many lives have been improved through her leadership.

Students choose their leaders, and though only 20 years of age. 200+ people choose Ajana.

Best of luck & Thank you from all of us

Master Justin
