2 May 09 Friendly match with Radiers, Eeoos & JH Kim
Mood:
sharp
Topic: Photo Gallery
On 2May, young Zenders (5 to 16 years old) were invited to JH Kim for a friendly match with Radiers & Eeoos. It was a eye-opener for all of us to see how a professional do-jo is structured, with proper toilets, lockers, changing rooms and a fully-matted training ground with wall-filled with mirrors.
Our young zenders were reminded to bow before entering the do-jo; the usual bowing with "Good morning, Sir / Good morning, mdm" were also heard from them.
During the match, young zenders were encouraged to clap and cheer for their peers; not to forget to clap after each round for healthy encouragement.
Parents and supporters were seen snapping photo & video to capture every fighter's pride.
Brian Sir debriefed with words of encouragement & highlighted the need to train during the day. Tournament & friendly matches were usually held in the daytime and our bodies were too used to evening training time.
