Hi guys,

Let me just start by apologising for the late coming for the blog. Today was the first time the three of us are actually using computers since coming out here.

Well with that said i guess i start by filling you guys in on what the training is like in Korea.

First of all when I heard we were going to be doing a 7 mile run i was a bit unsure on whether or not i could actualy complete it. Those feelings soon passed as I realised the run was merely 25 laps for a small football pitch. I think i did pretty well to keep up with the koreans with this aspect of the training.

Next in the Korean’s training regime came target training and fighting. Though i cannot speak for any of the others, i can say that for the first training lesson went pretty well but it sure wasn’t easy! There were so many exercises and fighting combinations i never knew existed!!! At first it was a bit of a struggle but u know, in order to truly succeed in anything in life, you need to persevere; and thats exactly what we did.

As for fighting well……sorry guys but your boy hasn’t taken the full wrath of the koreans yet! I guess we were taking it easy on each other due to the fact that we have the festival coming up (which is where i’m blogging you from). One thing ive gathered is that these koreans are faster than i ever imagined! (thanks for that heads up Master by the way) Already I can see improvements in speed and technique, I’m sooooo excited to show you all my results!

Right now im just relaxing so my muslces can heal–had to miss yesterdays session unfortunately bucause of the pain i was in :’( not to worry; after the festival that’s when the real training begins!!!

Well guys i’ll keep you posted on anything else that happens in the followng days.

I’m really missing my family, friends and everyone in KDK/OTC. Hope youre all improving just like we are! I’ll make you all proud in the coming tournament (my fights should be on friday) we’re bringing back gold you hear!?!?! hahaha

see you guys soon

Rushid

Dear All,

I spoke to Mo, Rabekah and Rushid today at 3pm which is 11pm their time. They said that they are all fine but tired. They are relaxing after a hard days training.

They have not left any postings yet as they are not near to computers but are hoping to give you all an update on everything in the next couple of days when they travel to take part in the 10th World Taekwondo Festival. They believe that they will be fighting on Wednesday or Thursday.

Mo said that that the best thing about Korea is the 5am run around the shool which is 7 miles each morning. He said that the hardest time is keeping up with the different styles as they are so intesive with little time take any breaks.

Rabekah said that the best thing was the intesity of the training and although it was very hard it was worth it. She said that she was very sore and found the hardest thing was the running.

Rushid said that the best thing was fighting with the Korean students and the hardest thing was keeping up with the target training. 

They were all in high spirits but sounded tired. They said that they will try and get onto a computer in the next day or so as there should be facilities near to where they are going in the festival.

Keep coming back to see if there are any new postings.

Regards
