GRANDMASTER KANG SHIN-CHUL VISITS INDUK TAEKWONDO
Posted on July
When Grandmaster KANG Shin-chul opened the class for questions, the last thing he expected from a 5 year-old was, "Can you show us what you can do…?". After peals of laughter from all in the room, the Grandmaster obligingly demonstrated some high impressive kicks, that wowed everyone. This was followed by some of our students performing their poomsae, and Grandmaster KANG providing some pointers on how they can improve.
Grandmaster KANG also conducted an impromptu session for our young Red belts and Poom belts, showing & guiding them the techniques for the front and side kick.
Grandmaster KANG Shin-chul from Korea, is world renowned for his fluid creative poomsae. A 9th Dan 'World Taekwondo Hall of Fame' inductee, Grandmaster KANG was also head coach for the Iran National Taekwondo team, playing an instrumental role in leading it to become the poomsae powerhouse that it is today.
The Grandmaster, along with Mrs. KANG and Mr. K. BAHRI, General-Secretary of WTTU (World Taekwondo Taedoo Union), definitely made it a Saturday that will be long remembered by all at INDUK Taekwondo.

The image above is of Grandmaster Kang Shin-Chul. He is 61 years old! It is my goal to be able to stretch well enough to kick like him! My kicks do not look like his kicks! My stretching is getting better, but I am no where close to Grandmaster! But, I will keep on stretching, trying my best!
A while ago, a parent said that they did not want their child to test because their child’s kicks did not look like the kicks of others in the class. I explained to that father that it was okay because through practice and time the kicks will get better.
In our conversation I used myself as the example: I have been practicing Tornado kick for more than 10 years. And still it is not where I want it to be. And it may never be as good as other masters, and that is okay because I can only do what I am able to do at that moment. If we are doing our best, there is nothing better than our best at that moment.
Over time our best will increase. It may be very slowly. It may be very hard. But, if we keep doing our best, we will get better.
The problem is that we compare ourselves to others, and place a “should” on our practice. I have been through this myself! At times in my practice of Taekwon
