Master Low advised he was extremely pleased with the high standard displayed by all seven (7) candidates at last Sunday’s Black Belt Exam and the coordinated approach with the tile destructions was an exceptional display of skill, focus, determination and power.

These exams were the result of approximately 20+ years of continuously training for all 7 candidates and the skill level on display for the all those in attendance was outstanding – a true sign of the dedication and commitment to their training regimes. Our ACTA NON VERBA motto was certainly in the spotlight at Sunday’s Exam.

New hyungs await at the next Quarterly Black Belt Training under CI Dane and the next Grading Day with Master Instructor, Vernon Low.

First Tae Kwon Do can help children develop confidence by teaching them discipline, self-control, and perseverance. Through the practice of various techniques and forms, children can gain a sense of accomplishment and pride in their abilities. Additionally, the supportive environment of a First Tae Kwon Do class can help children feel more confident in their social interactions and relationships with others.

First Martial Arts training has many benefits for Women.

dmkwanjang

Our training is a great way for women to improve their physical and mental well-being. It provides a great outlet for physical activity, and the practice of self-defence techniques can help to increase confidence, co-ordination, focus and strength. Tae Kwon Do training also helps to improve balance, flexibility and agility; which can all assist in helping to reduce the risk of injury during physical activity.

Furthermore, traditional Taekwondo offers an opportunity to increase self-discipline and self-respect, while also providing a great social experience and an opportunity to meet new people; gaining a strong self of belonging and connectedness with others.

Beginners welcomed at all 23x First Martial Arts WA Training Centres. For more info please email: firstma@iinet.net.au or call: 9275-5050

First MA training for mature men

dmkwanjang

First Martial Arts is a traditional style which caters for all age groups and our style of training provides many benefits for all members. Mature men (for instance), who generally find a little more time on their hands as they get older, are able to focus on their own health and well-being. We have found that our training assists men with improving and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels, aerobic fitness, core strength, balance, coordination, a sense of comradery with like-minded people and increases quality of life in general. All of these things can be achieved, whilst in the pursuit of learning new skills, through regular training in our TaeKwonDo classes; where members have the opportunity to go at their own pace while learning our traditional martial art.

Hand Stands – Strength/Balance Training

Handstands are a staple of First Martial Arts warm ups. In these images some members of the Beechboro children’s class can be seen executing their handstands.

Handstands promote increased strength, balance & coordination. These are all important ingredients in producing physically competent martial artists.
