Elite Counter Aggression Skills for Adults!



This cycle will bring with it an exciting change for the adult class. Adult Green Belt students and above, will be participating in self defense training in our new Elite Counter Aggression Skills (ECAS) segment.

ECAS drills are designed as dynamic defense tactics using traditional TaeKwonDo techniques and concepts, similar to the one step sparring drill above.

ECAS has three connected components. Every student must learn to integrate and combine quickly every component in split second responses to unpredictable and varied attack options. These components are 
Direction
- movement in the proper Direction to best avoid or counter an attack
Avoid/and or Block
 - TaeKwonDo techniques for Avoidance and or Blocking the attack

Counter
-  responding with an effective Counter attack.

ECAS will be closely instructed with guidance, basic techniques and concepts followed by both regimented and "open" practice. This training will create students who are quick thinkers, resulting in a more reliable skill response for the individual student relative to their age, body type and athletic ability.

In the interest of safety, there will be equipment requirements for ECAS. This gear package is as follows:

ARMS - One piece hand-forearm pads that can be adjusted to protect the part of the arm that is exposed.(NOT sparring punches)

LEGS - One piece shin-instep pads (NOT sparring boots)

TEETH - Mouthpiece

MEN - groin protector

OPTIONAL FOR MEN AND WOMEN
Chest protector
Mesh Gear Bag
Drawstring Back Pack

ECAS gear will be available for purchase by submitting an order to our staff in the office.

Sparring gear will also be handled in the same manner for those adults that wish to participate in sparring.

ECAS GEAR FOR MEN  $60.00
ECAS GEAR FOR WOMEN $50.00

Sparring Gear (orange) $200
Sparring Gear (black)   $225
