The course cost is open to students interested in helping other students progress in their Taekwondo. For example, this includes adult blue belts and above who may be helping out with juniors in your club, or 16/17 year old black belts interested in “learning the ropes”.

Another positive aspect of completing the course includes:

  • Developing understanding of TKD through teaching
  • Having a great talking point in job interviews

Old camera, new videos

Posted on

Ok, it seems the students like the in videos, so I will designate my old Gopro4 camera which I normally used for scuba diving for  Taekwondo only. I tested it today in class and worked fine. I can film in 1080p 60fps which makes slow motion better so is ok for now. I also post all the video to our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGKmDz-HWlBfChFfvbeIAxg 

I know the channel says “Leytonstone”, but the channel is for BOTH our Leytonstone and Tottenham branch.

if you have any ideas for videos, let me know
