New Poomsae Training/Updates

Hi All,

Hope you found today's training (introduction taeguek & preliminary taeguek) easy to follow. We will revise the new white belt poomsae's again next week to remember it better.

LTA training will resume most probably on the first week of february. Poomsae will be emphasised in the training. So for those going for your poom/black belt or higher dan grading, this will be an additional training for you.

Updates from STF:
