WORLD CAMP 2000 - International Taekwon-do Federation of New ...

Fund-raising the Tae-Bo wayAfter seeing the Billy Blanks advertisements on TV, I thought’ “I cando that”.We found out who would be interested, and decided to give it a go.Basically, we found some music that would be suitable for warm upsetc., and put Taekwon-Do moves to the music.We charge $3 per class. There is an option of a $20 concession cardfor 10 classes.A basic programme starts off with a light warm up, rising kicks toget started, then building up the tempo with blocking techniques,kicks, knees etc.As the whole idea was to do this for the public, we keep to fairly basictechniques. We have used it in a TKD class situation and used moreadvanced techniques.We warm down with a stretch, then demonstrate one or two techniquesthat we have used that evening, to show its application. i.e.:wedging block – They then know what they are doing, and generallyperform the techniques better for understanding.It’s a great way to get fit, flexible, have fun and make some moneyfor your club.Kirsten LivingstoneNew Plymouth East Instructor21
