On Sunday, 8th of December, the first Freestyle Poomsae Seminar took place in the Power Arena, hosted by Swiss Taekwondo at the Taekwondo Bern Dojang. This was the first of four seminars, teaching athletes and coaches the fundamentals of Freestyle Poomsae, with acrobatics, jumping kicks and spinning kicks.
After a theory session and jumping kick basics led by Sophie Fluri, gymnastics expert Dominique Moser took over the afternoon to teach progressions for back flips. With all the detailed exercises, participants took home new ideas and progressions to start training Freestyle. What a success for the first step of Freestyle Poomsae in Switzerland!
The next seminar in the series is on the 18th of January 2025 at the Taekwondo Bern Dojang. All Swiss Taekwondo members can still sign up for the event at freestyle.swisstaekwondo@gmail.com, even if they did not participate in the first seminar of the series.
