(Olympic Sparring)

 GYORUGI

Sparring is an Olympic Sport that involves full contact kicking and punching. Students are fully protected on the head, chest, arms, shin, mouth and etc. The goal of Taekwondo Sparring is not fighting but learning how to use your skills against your opponent in the best possible way. Sparring training can be hard and intense; however, It can be fun too. If your passion is to train hard and win competitions, this is the right class for you.

Sparring is as real as it gets. It’s that simple. Sparring requires you to use every one of your attributes – forcing you to sharpen your skills and practice things like the controlling distance, timing, speed, agility and focus as well as cardiovascular and muscle endurance to name just a few.
