We are approaching our Taran Tek - St Austell’s 1st birthday! 🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🎈🎊

It’s been a turbo start to the 4th Taran Tek club’s 1st year , which has started with a group of dedicated and bomb proof Taekwon-do students who are making consistent progress, and their electric energy for the training has motivated me to train even harder!


This is a perfect time for some new students to come and enroll, with a month’s free training. ( 8 free sessions!! ) to find your feet in martial arts and start what could be a lifetime journey in a new discipline, life style and physical transformation!

Just send over a message with any questions !

🥋🥋🥋 taekwon!

Such true words!

"If it was easy, everybody would do it." 👊 When it comes to peak performance, failures are inevitable.

You need to have the awareness to recognize these moments and push through to keep showing up if you ever want to reach your true potential.

⚡These are actually the moments that make you, but that also means potentially break you.

🌟 To be great at your craft, you must experience some forms of failure. It might be in training, in competition, or a promotion, but nobody can reach their true potential without it. Failure and difficult times are often our best learning moments - some argue there is no greater teacher.

🧠 Those who don't experience setbacks are playing too close to their comfort zones and limiting their development to become much more.

✅To build confidence, we must be challenged and then find resilience to preserve through it. This is where the idea of showing up consistently comes in.

👉 That's why those who stay get rewarded - it's almost the gatekeeper of success, testing how much you really want it.

The trick is to expect and embrace the hardship and treat it as an opportunity to move onto the next level. 💪

☝️🤔Did you know that in Taekwon-Do, L Stance is sometimes referred to as "Niunja Sogi" because the Korean character "niun" (니은) looks like the letter L in the alphabet?

L Stance is an important stance in Taekwon-Do, used in many patterns and techniques.

📐One key aspect of L Stance is that the body is always half-facing the opponent, providing a narrower target area while still allowing for quick movements and powerful strikes.

By maintaining proper half-facing technique in L Stance, you can effectively defend yourself while also keeping your balance and mobility.

So, next time you're practicing your L Stance, remember to maintain your half-facing technique, and keep honing your skills to become a better martial artist.

Attention Taekwon-Do practitioners! 💪🥋

If you want to take your performance in ITF patterns to the next level, here are two key elements you need to focus on: posture and hand speed.

Posture: Good posture is crucial for generating power and maintaining balance in your movements. Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet firmly planted on the ground to maximize your stability and power.

Hand Speed: The speed at which you execute your hand techniques can make a significant difference in the impact they have .Practice fast and precise hand movements to increase your striking power .

By focusing on these key elements in your ITF patterns, you'll be able to display a more powerful and dynamic performance. Keep training hard and stay disciplined! 🔥👊
