Putting together a demonstration

[Bulldog]

I've been asked to do a few (just me) demonstrations and quite frankly...I get bored with the idea...ha ha

Since I know that there have to be some schools that have demo teams...I was wondering if anyone had any neat or creative ideas for demonstrating Taekwondo...

Breaks? Self Defense? Forms? Kicks? Stunts?

I'm sitting here with pen in hand...thanks!

1 man demonstartion is lame, really not much you can do. Other than poomse..... even breaking you will need proper holders.

do holders count or not????

I guess I'm being a little "slow" here...I could do some weapons stuff too...maybe set some concrete patio blocks on fire and then smash them...that's a crowd fav...Or maybe to really spice it up, I can set myself on fire and they can throw concrete patio blocks at me...

I know...one man/woman demo team...not really exciting...

yeah you are rather limited as far as demonstrating self defense or sparring.... but as far as breaking you can set the boards on a series of concrete blocks and break a whole line up of them with hammerfist or axe kick.

You can perform a variety of speed breaks too.

Music..... definitely music. Great for breaks and also for forms. Find something to "fit" the form you are doing. Music keeps people interested and adds to the energy. Keeps you motivated too.

Create your own form with a series of techniques you particularly enjoy doing.


I'll keep thinking!

Music is always good...thanks for the reminder...(pencils that in on journal)!
