FITAE-ITF Sabums and Sahyuns Workshop
2019-09-27 00:00 - 2019-09-29 23:59
RICCIONE, ITALY, 27-29/09/2019

FITAE-ITF’s sporting year started with the annual Sabums and Sahyuns workshop, held in Riccione, in the last weekend of September 2019.

The most active Instructors from IV to VIII degree gathered to discuss and train under the guidance of GM Willem Jacob Bos, FITAE Technical Director.
As usual, the atmosphere was enthusiastic and relaxed with time and opportunities to discuss about many technical matters and about the future of the Italian Federation.
On Friday afternoon Master Carmine Caiazzo, President FITAE-ITF, and the members of the Board of Directors welcomed the participants ready to start the important event.
During the first meeting the Board presented to the audience a booklet, edited by Mrs Tiziana Mimmocchi, which collects all the events organized by FITAE for its members during the previous sports year. A good tool to keep in our schools to show the level and the frequency of FITAE competitive, educational and recreational activities throughout Italy and abroad.
The Sabums and Sahyuns workshop is a tailored cut event dedicated to our top Instructors in order to strengthen friendships with the colleagues, or to make new contacts with the recent promoted Sabums, away from competitions or other intense events. In addition, it offers the opportunity to train at a different level and to deepen the knowledge of the higher patterns and other technical matters.
On this occasion GM Bos presented the ITF diplomas to the newly promoted Instructors. Special mention to Mrs. Maria Grazia Nenciati, first female Master in Italy.
The sponsor NI-KKO SPORT was present at the event to greet the participants and to offer complimentary gadgets.
The accommodation in Riccione was excellent at the 4 stars Hotel Vittoria, and the weather (still summer in Italy!) was perfect for an evening stroll in the beach town and for a large, homemade ice cream all together after the trainings.
For two days GM Bos taught to the Instructors transmitting his well known passion and knowledge. A true Taekwon-Do full technical immersion analyzing small details and movements’ application as well as teaching techniques.
As has become tradition in the FITAE meetings, on Saturday night the participants took part in a nice informal dinner with music, dancing and singing.
Life is always beautiful when you practice Taekwon-Do.

Power in Patterns – A Love Poem to the Joy of Movement
2020-02-25 08:00 - 17:00
AMSTERDAM, 26.01.2019 – Sometimes you go to a seminar and pick up one or two nice ideas. When Master Thierry Meyour came to town with his protégé Mira Sjövall, our heads exploded with insights every minute. If anything, the seminar was a love poem to the joy of movement. A report on the Amsterdam edition of the “Finnish Magic Tour: Power in Patterns”.
A little background story first. I’ve come to know Master Thierry and Mira from the annual get together at the Ukrainian Fight Evolution Sparring Summer Camp, organized by the wonderful Oleg & Katya Solovey. And of course, as it goes in the ITF family, you see each other at numerous international competitions and other events. A friendship started to grow and one of the cool ideas we had, was a seminar. A seminar on Power in Patterns.
At last year’s incredible Coaches’ Conference in Ireland – one of the best ITF events I’ve ever attended, hopefully, it will return! – Master Thierry showed me some amazing stuff he picked up from a dance master. It had to do with manipulating the center of gravity and activating more muscles in order to generate more power with less effort. Almost like magic… Finnish magic!
Master Thierry (7th degree black belt) is the kind of instructor that looks inside and outside the realms of ITF Taekwon-Do – or even martial arts – for inspiration. He is a professional Physical Education teacher and holds the highest level of coaching according to the European Qualification Structure. His approach is progressive and innovative. Piecing together the puzzle over his years of experience, he’s been retraining his students with the latest of the greatest.
During the warm-up, given by multiple European and World title holder Mira (Tampere Sports Academy), we immediately got a taste of what that looks like. Deceitfully simple exercises that engaged your complete body and mind. It felt like we had been using only 50% of our body up to now.
And what a difference that makes. By activating the posterior chain (muscles on the back of the body) you could instantly feel and see the effect: super stable stances, bodyweight coming in like a train, striking like a canon. Even basic sparring movement changed dramatically from “ok” to “intimidating” after a 30-second routine to manipulate the center of gravity.
Three hours went by like an hour. Every new layer of information and instruction was greedily guzzled up by all attendants.
Not just because it was extremely interesting, but also because of Master Thierry’s teaching style. He can bring down complex issues to comprehensible steps and leads you through the story in a fun and exciting way.
This was the first time Master Thierry had put together all the pieces of his new puzzle outside of Finland. So this was a nice primer for Amsterdam! The feedback we got was one hundred percent positive. We will definitely have some more Finnish Magic before the summer…
After the seminar there was some time to explore the city and reflect on the experience over some good Chinese food – we ate Peking Duck, and bought a squishy toy duck with a black belt to compensate.
We, as a club, are proud to have had some of the greats of ITF in our dojang: GM Bos was here and took over the class once, we had multiple incredible ITF Radix seminars with Master Robert Boer and Roy Rolstad, Master Jedut was here for an inspiring sparring seminar – and now a good dose of Finnish Magic with Master Thierry Meyour and Mira Sjövall.
Next up: Kalah Seminar with Idan Abolnik (which is a completely different kind of cookie than ITF Taekwon-Do, but not to be missed if you want to learn what self-defense training should be like!).
