The Basic

There are rules of the Rana Saddaqat Ali (Training hall) which must be observed at all times. These are the discipline side of the Marial Arts. We must treat each other with respect and always be friendly and leave any ego's outside the Rana Saddaqat Ali. After all we are all here to have fun.

Fitness

Every class has a workout of one form or another. This has the obvious benefit of keeping you fit
in general but also means that if you decide to take your sparring seriously,
you will be able to spar for longer with less effort. A useful ability if you want to compete.

Flexibility

Taekwondo Along with fitness, we perform a lot of stretching. We use 4 types - dynamic, static active, static passive and isometric and each is used in the appropriate part of the class. Flexibility is very important in Tae Kwon-Do as we perform a lot of kicking techniques. However, you do not have to be flexible to start, you don't have to able to kic high.

Paid Work

This is basically where students pratice techniques against a partner holding a pad and feel what is like to hit something. This means that students can develop proper balance for when hittting a target (different from kicking air), practice generating power and its a great stress buster!

Line Work / Routine

Techniques have to be learnt and practiced before trying them out. Here is the main part of this learning. Techniques are very stylised but develop the correct muscles to perform the techniques for rel. Routines are pre-set groups of these exercises which are used for beginners to practice and as a general warm up.

Set Sparring Katas

These are sets of techniques performed with a partner as if having a fight. Obviously no one would ever fight like this but it does develop timing, distance, control and gives students a feel for what it is like to face up against somebody and have punches and kicks thrown at them - without fear of getting hurt.

One Step Sparring

This is semi-free form of sparring. Techniques are performed with control but students have to defend themselves against a single attack from partner. Any and all counter techniques are allowed and it is a good prelude to self-defence techniques. After all it's harder to defend against a straight punch than a bar-room style swing.

Self Defence

It is a regrettable fact that there are times when some of us will have to confront a potentally dangerous situation. Here we develop skills to protect yourself. The main emphasis is on conflict avoidance and not having to ge into a fight in the first place. If, however, you have no choice then we practice realistic and practical techniques to counter a variety of situations.
