The Amazing Master Hutton

Master Hutton’s “Fit for Purpose” Seminar

Many of you will know Master Hutton’s trademark phrase, “Fit for Purpose”. It’s something he’s lived by for decades, and this seminar was a perfect demonstration of what that actually means in practice. Instead of trying to cram in dozens of techniques, he narrowed everything down to just a handful of essential movements – and then drilled them with the kind of intensity that really exposes where your technique is strong… and where it needs a bit of honest work.

At one point he referenced Bruce Lee’s well-known quote about practising one kick 10,000 times, and it couldn’t have been more fitting. That really is the spirit of the whole session.

My Takeaways

It’s amazing how much you can feel your technique improve when you slow things down and pay attention to the small details. There were moments where you could see everyone in the room have the same “ah-ha” moment — the kind you get when something you’ve done for years suddenly clicks in a different way.

For instructors, there were a lot of ideas you can take straight back into class. And for students, it was a great reminder that mastery doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from doing the important things better.

Two Versions Now Available

We’ve put together two versions of this seminar for TKDCoaching members:

▶ Full Seminar (1 hour 30 mins)
If you want the entire experience, including all of Master Hutton’s explanations, drills, and examples.

▶ Highlights Video (15 mins)
A shorter, fast-paced clip that captures the essence of the session — ideal if you just want a taste or a quick refresher.

Both versions really capture Master Hutton’s energy, humour, and his no-nonsense approach to training.

Why I Think This One Is Worth Watching

In a time where everyone is looking for new techniques, new drills, and new variations, this seminar was a refreshing return to the basics — but done at a very high level. It’s a good reminder (for all of us) that sometimes the best way to improve your Taekwon-Do is simply to go deeper into what you already know.

If you’re someone who loves the fundamentals, or if you teach and want to inject some purposeful training back into your classes, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.
