TAEKWONDO REPORT

It was an unorthodox Taekwondo program at Pymble in 2021. Before the interruptions with online learning, the students completed two grading exams. During Term 3 and Term 4, Taekwondo students continued practising their skills and training at home. The Taekwondo program offered online general fitness training through Jack and Jules Live Fitness Sessions and Online Taekwondo classes run by our coaches from Wylie Taekwondo. The Taekwondo program is a modern martial art that is characterised by fast high spinning kicks, blocks and punches. This form of self-defence develops aerobic fitness, muscular endurance, power and core strength.

The self-discipline this type of training develops is a huge testament to how the students carried themselves throughout online learning.

The Pymble team would like to thank our coaches from Wylie Taekwondo for all their hard work and dedication in helping our students. Our coaching staff would also like to acknowledge the following students for their hard work and dedication during the course of the year. From the Junior program, congratulations to Claudia Wyatt, Gemma Dixon and Emily Woods-McConville, Year 5, for being outstanding red belts who displayed great leadership and determination as well as motivation towards their Taekwondo. A further congratulations to Alana Gao, Year 9, and Isabella Cameron, Year 10, from our Senior program on their dedication, hard work and continuous effort to advance their skills.

Finally, congratulations to all the girls who were a part of the Taekwondo program this year. It was a tough year and the way you all carried yourselves was very rewarding to see. I hope that you will continue your training in 2022. Miss Megan O’Keeffe, Co-ordinator of Taekwondo
