WHY ATTENDING SPARRING CLASSES IS IMPORTANT

cobourg tae kwon do sparringWhy is attending sparring classes important? For many reasons really.

  1. It helps develop your reflexes
  2. Teaches you proper mental, physical, and emotional control
  3. Teaches you how to use your skills on a live opponent(partner)
  4. You become use to physical contact
  5. Good test of endurance and cardio when under stress
  6. Builds your confidence
  7. Teaches you to be focused on the present moment
  8. Teaches you to use strategy
  9. Gives you a sense of challenge
  10. Allows you to try your techniques out in a controlled and safe manner

And the list can go on and on.

A good sparring class is a very fun exciting class for most. Over the years I have played with many different ways to run a sparring class and I have come across a style I really enjoy because the students are enjoying it and are getting more benefits from it. I am seeing improved sparring in a short time and more smiles during and at the end of sparring classes.

I hope to see more students out for the Thursday sparring classes as well as the Saturday morning sparring class. Let’s have some fun!
