Local Portland Martial Artists / Instructors now World Certified at the International Taekwondo Master course by the World Taekwondo Academy in San Francisco, CA.

6/12/2017

June 8 through 11, in San Francisco, The World Taekwondo Academy organized the International Taekwondo Master course. Over one hundred Master Instructors from 7 countries lined up at the start of these 4 meaningful training days where six of our U.S. World Class Taekwondo instructors, ranking 3rd to 6th Dan, from our West Portland Schools Group, Cedar Mill, Bethany and Beaverton on Baseline,  were accepted to attend the International Certification Course.

Picture
Day one had a pretty good start by having everyone checked in during the morning hours and then set on hours of lectures on school and class management, philosophy, history and etiquette.

Picture
Day two, now focused on forms, patterns and standardized techniques. Five hours of practice, lunch break, study time and sparring seminar.
​
Day three, back to basics with emphasis on fundamentals like basic blocks and stances, lunch break, study time and lecture on behavior management.

Day four, the grand finale, all anxious as we were getting close  to a wrap up  with a Test consisting in Forms/ Patterns and a Written Exam.
" I do believe this recognition I have received today is the result of a team effort. I can't be more proud of my team I have by my side" said Chief Master George, which, along with other seven high ranking Instructors from U.S. and other countries, received an official citation from Kukkiwon for outstanding service.

Taekwondo was developed during the 1940s and 1950s by various martial artists by incorporating elements of KARATE and CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS with indigenous Korean martial arts traditions such as TAEKKYON and SUBAK.
Taekwondo is characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. In fact, the World Taekwondo Federation
 sparring competitions award additional points for strikes that incorporate spinning kicks.
