Kick to Perfection

Kick to Perfection is another excellent example of what long-term commitment, smart training, and technical refinement can achieve in ITF Taekwon-Do.

In this session, our Expert Coach Mr Jon Sawden (53 at the time of filming) shares the journey behind his outstanding kicking ability. Rather than focusing on shortcuts or quick fixes, this video highlights the consistent work, conditioning, and technical discipline required to develop high-level kicking over many years.

This is not about natural talent alone. It is a clear demonstration of what is possible when flexibility, balance, strength, and repetition are developed together over time.

In the sample video above, Mr Sawden explains how his kicking skills were built step by step, and what he continues to focus on to maintain both quality and control. His approach is especially valuable for instructors and senior students who want realistic benchmarks for long-term technical development.

Kick to Perfection serves as both inspiration and practical guidance. It reinforces an important message for students of all ages – excellent kicking is earned through consistent effort, intelligent training, and patience.
