Il Gi Dojang Geneva

Taekwondo is a martial from South Korea which is practiced without weapons. Taekwondo is famous for its spectacular kicks but it is a complete martial art with sparring, Poomsae (forms), Hanbon Kiriougui or one-step sparring, Hoshinsul (self defence) and Kyokpa (breaking techniques). We work on all these aspects at Il Gi Dojang Geneva

Poomsae

Poomsae are formalised fights against imaginary adversaries. Poomsae train concentration, power and fluidity of movement, breathing, balance and energy management. A convincing Poomsae is a real workout and getting all the elements of the Poomsae working harmoniously together to maximum effect takes a lot of training. All the elements of Taekwondo are trained in the Poomsae which has to be executed to a very high degree of accuracy: stances, blocks, kicks, hand techniques. The practitioner should finish each Poomsae at the same place it started.
