Master Hendrix
News | |
I just returned from a wonder World HapKiDo Winter Camp in Glenwood Springs, Colorado which was organized by the WHA Secretary General - Master Dan Piller. The camp was outstanding! There were a lot of excellent HapKiDo players in attendance and I learned so much from Grand Master Tae Jung.
I was also honored to teach two sessions at the camp. One on Staff and one on the fundamentals of clinching and trapping.
While in Colorado I also taught a Defensive Knife course at Pro TKD of Carbondale. The students were awesome!
Next stop? I'll be teaching another defensive knife course in Austin Texas, later this month.

Taekwon-Do tip of the Month
| |
When sparring, make sure that you are not relying to heavily on blocking for defense. If so y ou will fall victim to your partners combination attacks. Instead use movement for your defense and blocking when there is not time to simply move. Train Hard.

When working knife defense, rememer that distractions and stunning blows can be added at any time. Also remember that you may not be able to grab or trap on your attackers first motion, therefore, shielding is what will save your life.

In a real world fight, always look for an equalizer: Ink Pen, Fork, frying pan, salt shake, anything that can become a weapon!
