Циммерман-академия-логотип

My daughter asked me the other day if I had seen any of the Olympic Judo. She was surprised when I told her I had not. Besides being a black belt in Taekwondo, I’m a brown belt in Judo. Like both my sons, Caity trained in both TKD and Judo as well. <Промежуток bbox_x = "543" bbox_y = "1494" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" FSIZE = "14" fweight = "3" красный = "255" зеленый = "255" синий = "255" альфа = ", Мне не нравятся политические соображения, высказанные в

Мая 7, 2016, my daughter Caity returned to Taekwondo competition for the first time in eight years. As her dad but also her coach, I tried to dissuade her from sparring until we had a few more months but she was adamant about sparring at the tournament. Caity likes forms but she always preferred sparring. Reluctantly, I agreed. Я

Things Come Full Circle

Несколько недель назад, my second foray into the martial arts came full circle. My daughter started studying Taekwondo again after more than five years away from the sport. It is actually Caity, who brought me back to martial arts in the summer of 2000. After my natural father passed away in July 1999, I went on a year-long fitness

Perfect Practice Makes Perfect

Циммерман-академия-логотип

Last week, it was testing preparation at Willow Martial Arts. We went through the walking drills, forms and self-defense required for Taekwondo testing. As I observed the students preparing, I remembered a statement Master Pat Weseman often told me when I was a colored belt preparing for my next Taekwondo test. “Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.”

Why We Use Canes

Most self-defense programs are made up of striking or grappling techniques. A few self-defense systems use techniques from both.

Циммерман-академия-логотип

A question I’m often asked during classes and seminars is “Can I become invincible by learning self-defense?” The short answer is “Не” but they are asking the wrong questions. Better questions would be: “What can I do to make myself a less desirable target?” “How can I get in better shape to successfully repel an attack?” “What techniques should

Martial Arts Is A Family Affair

Домашняя команда

One of the best thing about the martial arts such as Taekwondo is the ability for fathers, mothers, дети, grandchildren and other family members to train together. You develop a mutual interest you cannot replicate by sitting in the stands watching your children play baseball, soccer, и т.д.. Besides training with all three of my kids and my wife, who trained
