Practice, Practice, Practice We encourage all students to practice at home and in the dojang. The more practice you put into Taekwondo the better you will become at poomse, techniques, movements and stretching. Practicing often helps you improve your memory and focus as well. Beginner and intermediate students often think, “I already know it. Why do I have to practice it? I’m good enough at it!” This attitude will ruin your ability to learn and improve. The Black Belt Attitude applies to everyone. When you see any of the black belts, or instructors practicing in from of the mirror, ask yourself “Why would they do that? Why do the instructors keep practicing low section block and middle section punch?” To improve them, of course. Even black belts and instructors must practice. If you plan to practice at home remember: Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Focus and concentration are key. Warm up and stretch before you begin any kind of training. Failure to warm up and stretch properly can lead to injuries. Keep in mind that if you have limited space to practice, poomse and many techniques can be done on the spot. Stay hydrated for peak physcial and mental performance.
