Pain Course

At one time or another everyone has to deal with injuries and pain in their training and the resultant frustration, setbacks and remedial treatments.

This is an area of training where Taekwon-Do practitioners often struggle with finding the right balance between training and recovery.

In this collaboration with ITF Patterns Unleashed, Sanna Rantasaari, a physiotherapist and 5th degree black belt delivers a Taekwon-Do specific lecture on PAIN in this new TKDCoaching release.

You will learn:

  • How to understand and deal with pain as a martial artist
  • The relationship between pain and your brain
  • Current trends in soft tissue injury management
  • General guidelines for overuse and traumatic injuries
  • How to endure rehab time
  • Training with pain
  • and more in the Q & A at the end of the session

This is a must-watch course for anyone in Taekwon-Do so you can confidently manage yourself and guide your students on this important but often overlooked issue.

DON’T FORGET TO WATCH No. 10 – Paul McPhail performs Juche forwards and backwards

For my 5th degree black belt grading in 1993 I thought it would be a cool idea to perform Juche Tul forwards then backwards for General Choi.

The plan failed miserably as I started the backwards part… I hadn’t even considered the possibility that General Choi would take offence to it. He turned his head and refused to watch. I figured… well… I may as well carry on now and struggled through to the end.

I passed the grading so I guess the General had forgiven me by the day the results were announced.

Here is the footage of the pattern at the grading.

Relaxation : the key to power and performance

Spend any amount of time in a dojang  and you will see some guy (and it is more often than not a guy) whose moves look, well, clunky. They have a tense stiffness about them, a forced attempt to generate power. Trust me I know I was that guy (and still am on occasions).

Instructors faced with the clunky guy almost invariably say “try to relax”. Of course as soon as anyone tells you to relax you are likely to find yourself completely unable to do so, in fact, you are likely to actually stiffen up more. Akin to the experience of being told not to think of a pink elephant, the first thing that pops into your mind is a pink elephant.

Classic : NZ Self Defence Syllabus 2008

This video technology enables students to compare themselves to experts side by side so that they can see how to improve in visual detail.

The full video gives this kind of analysis so you can see the differences in technique and timing. Even if you are not Riana, you can still get tremendous benefit by comparing someone to an extremely skilled athlete at the same time.
