Senior Master
Old dudes?? well I am talking about working men/women who takes TKD classes for fit and to learn how to defend themselves, forget about competition tkd.
I don't like teach kicking drills mostly like some tkd instructors do, kicking to the air or kiking palchaguis (focus mitts for the foot) doin all of the combinations you can imagine using high kicks, spining/jumping high kicks and some kind of flamboyant kicks, instead, I like to teach kicks suitable for using in self defense, hand,elbows,locks,pins,trows,etc. So Basicaly my class is oriented to those moves intended fos self defense.
Do you think I am wrong teaching more self defense than kicking drills? Please take note the youngsters take classes with sambonim and they do more kicking drills and poomsae than anithing, and I teach more to the self defense side. I don't think sambonim dislikes these cause he saw me during some class and never said anithing about like: " Mr. Manny I think you should.... or you should'nt do these or that.
