A morning designed for the youngest practitioners and the coaches who guide them. Grandmaster Shin will lead children through age-appropriate fundamentals and poomsae, bringing energy, joy, and genuine depth to every movement.
Coaches and instructors participate alongside their athletes, gaining practical child-centred teaching tools they can apply from their very next class.

13:00 – 15:00 · Fundamentals & Poomsae (Ages 12 and above)

The afternoon session raises the bar. Grandmaster Shin works with older youth and junior athletes on the technical foundations and poomsae practice that define every great Taekwondo practitioner.
Coaches gain direct insight into structuring sessions that challenge the 12+ group both technically and mentally while athletes discover what they are truly capable of.
Sunday, May 17
10:00 – 11:30 · Taekwondo-Based Physical Conditioning
For teenagers and adults
This is not a session for the faint-hearted. Grandmaster Shin leads a high-intensity conditioning session built entirely around Taekwondo movement, harnessing kicks, stances, and dynamic sequences to build explosive strength, stamina, and athletic resilience.
Come prepared to push your limits. You will leave stronger than when you walked in.
11:30 – 13:00 · Lunch Break
13:00 – 15:00 · Taekwondo Grading: Practical Examples from Korea
For instructors, club leaders, and examiners
This session offers a rare and timely opportunity to look deeper. Drawing on the Standard of Kukkiwon and Korea's ongoing efforts to strengthen the grading system, Grandmaster Shin will guide participants back to the roots, exploring what these standards were designed to achieve and what they ask of all of us.
Together, we will open a dialogue that goes beyond checklists and criteria, and pose the question that lies at the heart of everything: What is the true essence of a Dan examination?
