📝Learning from the best ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fresh off from bagging another European Gold, we have had the privilege to attend a world class seminar by none other than Eva Sandersen. After experiencing the training a Poomsae Champion goes through, the young participants came out re-energised and inspired. This seminar has come at a great time where the new recruits are preparing for their first Poomsae competition and the returners are building their confidence in their performance for the same competition. A few of the older members are preparing for the upcoming London Open.

S/O to:

Fees were subsidised through @jackpetcheyfoundation

Narae Cubs is a youth engagement project funded by the King’s College London’s Volunteer Project Fund. This program aims to support children and young people in entering Taekwondo competitions for the first time for no cost to them and their families, with additional coaching and mentorship opportunities.

✨Ali’s Dojang Open 2025✨

A recap and reflection of the first in-person competition of our young competitors from Narae Cubs:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After experiencing and gaining confidence from the online competition format, our young competitors were enthused in entering their first in-person competition as a group. This helped create camaraderie as they put in the hours to tweak their techniques, improve their understanding of poomsae scoring and synchronisation for those who are competing in teams.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was a new experience for many going into uncharted territory. Volunteering members from @kcltkd gave coaching support on the day along with thoughtful goodie bags including words of encouragement for our young competitors.

Giving thanks to (no particular order) :

Coaching by @kcltkd
