No matter where your inter- Mests are, there’s a martial art you can enjoy. More Than Fighting Most people think of martial arts as methods of fighting, but they’re really about so much more. In fact, one of the keys to many martial arts is learn- ing how to avoid a fight and defend yourself when someone tries to pick a fight with you. When you learn a martial art, you learn how to focus on a task and how to pick yourself up when you fall.

  • Breaking Req.. Red Belt: 1. Front Kick & Any Choice 2. Side Kick & Any
    Breaking Req.. Suggestions... These new requirements will be set as of Jan. 2008 You may not repeat board breaks from one testing to another. You may not do a set from a lower or higher belt requirement; however, you may choose to include any of the options as an 'Any Choice' option. All board breaks are to be done as one break or one set. In other words, if you break one station but not the other, both stations need to be reset and attempted again. On the third attempt, the boards that were not broken in the first two attempts should be done first. In the event that both stations were not successful in the first two attempts, the order of breaks is the decision of the person testing. 10 years old and younger will not be required to repeat a successful break. Once one station is broken, the individual may continue with the other station until the board has broken. Red Belt: 1. Front Kick & Any Choice 2. Side Kick & Any Choice 3. Knife hand & reverse side kick 4. Front elbow & jump front kick (any level) Brown Belt: 1. Skip Side Kick & Any Choice 2. Round kick & Any Choice 3. Reverse palm & reverse side kick (middle section) 4. Back elbow & jump side kick (any level) Red/Black Belt: 1. Jump Side Kick (face level) kick & Any Choice 2. Palm heel & Hook kick 3. Upset knife hand & step forward reverse side kick 4. Hammer fist & axe kick 1st Degree Black Belt: 1. Jump front kick (face level) & Any Choice 2.

Unnecessary repetitions, inaudible phrases, etc., have been edited out. Dr. Hatsumi's manner of speak- ing is by no means always straightforward, and little attempt has been made to reproduce it, since it was felt that this would be too confusing and barely read- able. However, efforts have been made (including consultation with Hatsumi Sensei himself) to clarify the many points that required it.

  • Sunset Elementary / South Miami Taekwondo
    P.A.C.E. / South Miami Taekwondo General Scope and Welcome Letter Welcome to the P.A.C.E. Taekwondo program provided by South Miami Taekwondo. I am Master Jeff Wade, 6th Dan Chief Instructor. My contact information is at the end of this page and I welcome parents and or students to contact me at any time if you have any concerns or questions. The purpose of martial arts study is often mistaken. At first glance, an observer might assume the class is about kicking, punching, fighting, self-defense etc. But the true purpose of martial arts is much more meaningful. A true martial artist uses the process of learning and refining these fascinating, often-complicated physical abilities as a catalyst for becoming a better person. The fierce battlefield of the Samurai of feudal Japan is long gone, but the battlefield of everyday life is alive and kicking (pun definitely intended). It did not take the warriors of the ancient orient long to figure out that the intense training involved in mastery of the martial arts also honed the spirit of these warriors and enabled them to handle the affairs of living life with the same skill at which they had learned to take it in battle. It is difficult to capture exactly how this happens. I can tell you that we emphasize the virtues of respect, discipline, courtesy, humility and benevolence. In our culture, these words are often foggy, nebulous concepts to our children. At South Miami Taekwondo, any kid with a colored belt can stop and explain the meaning of these words to you along with examples of how we use them both in and outside class.
