CTI Master Seminar by David Wallace, 1st dan
The Colorado Taekwondo Institute presented two dynamic Master Seminars on March 26th , 2011. What a fantastic way to end the month of March. The CTI Master Seminars on One-Step Sparring and Free-Sparring were held at Alameda High School and was attended by many students from all of the Colorado Taekwondo Institutes major campuses.
The morning started off strong with a great warm-up led by Grandmaster Sautel which went right into the first seminar, One-Step Sparring. One-Step Sparring, along with our Basics, Self-Defense and Poomse, are one of the most important aspects of our Moo Sul Kwan training. One-Step Sparring breaks down each technique step by step in a choreographed manner which allows the students to focus on the many different aspects of each technique such as maintaining eye contact, judging distances, having correct stances and posture, and training with both the right and left sides. During this seminar the students rotated between different groups led by some of the finest MSK instructors in the world. Each group broke down the One-Step Sparring techniques in different and some totally new ways which really helped the students focus on the individual techniques and what the purpose and intent that each technique was used for.
After a short break and some birthday cake, thanks to Eileen Lindner, we strapped on our sparring gear and went right into the second seminar of the day which was on Free-Sparring. Tournament Free-Sparring is a big part of what we do here at the Colorado Taekwondo Institute and it can be one of the most fun. But remember, it’s the Basics, One-Steps, Self-Defense and Poomse that are the foundation of MSK Taekwondo and really sets us apart from the rest and allows us to be great, well-rounded sparrers.
During the Free-Sparring Seminar we did a lot of sparring drills and many rounds with many different opponents of different ages, sizes and belt levels which truly tested our endurance. I am pretty sure we burned off that birthday cake and then some.
Each and every Master Seminar I have ever attended was an amazing educational experience and these two great seminars were no exception. I look forward to taking this knowledge and applying it to not only my everyday training as a student but also to my teachings as an instructor and I can’t wait to see everyone at the next CTI Master Seminar.
