Synchronized Poomsae

We did our first Taekwondo demo last Sunday. Master Freddy had signed up at the carnival at the D'Youville Senior Care Center in Lowell. Master Antonio started us off by warming us up with some kicks, punches and blocks. After that we lined up and did Basic Poomsae. Then came the highlight for me. Supriya and I did the 3 poomsaes we know: Basic, Taegeuk 1 and Taegeuk 2. By now we have done it tens of times, and we do it with very good synch with each other. I am very happy with how it went. After that the kids broke boards with jumping side-kicks and later with bare fists. It all looked very impressive and we got a lot of kudos. The weather was cloudy and cold and windy. It rained quite a bit before we started as well. But the kids had a grand time anyway playing on the carnival jumping thingies.
