TKDCoaching was again privileged to film Grand Master Kim Ung Lan in a very special training session. Grand Master Lan spent over an hour with students of an Auckland club, in a surprise visit in 2017.
Grand Master Lan is well known for his generosity, kindness and authenticity. A true Grand Master who is so happy to share his knowledge.
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.
These lessons were created for my own clubs while we were closed due to the Covid19.
Ground Self Defence is something often overlooked by Taekwon-Do schools.
This clip shows a snippet of a 45 minute video for our Members, that gives the essential instruction of ground self defence all instructors should be teaching.
Thanks to Mr Phil Thompson for his incredible knowledge and generosity.

Final Session: Mira Sjövall’s Road to Double Gold
This session was even more interesting, in that WT Master from France Lionel Villaret was invited to take the session. This is a perfect example of “cross-training” or “outside-the-box” thinking that Black Eagle TKD is well known for.
This video captures a one-on-one session by Grand Master Ung Kim Lan teaching the pattern Joong-Gun.
We are very lucky indeed to feature our first Grand Master at TKDCoaching.com, especially of the calibre of Grand Master Lan! In the video he takes 2nd dan Niketa Wells through the blue belt pattern Joong-Gun step by step. The lesson is full of useful information that will assist anyone with this pattern and other patterns as well.
