either 1 or 2 nights a week but it is recommended that to progress steadily
through the belt rankings it is preferable to train on both nights to
develop fitness as well correct technique. There are no barriers (age,
physique, fitness level) to any person that wishes to learn the art
of Taekwon Do. You learn at your own pace and you are encouraged every
step of the way. Students at Kurwongbah range in age from 7 to 50 -
you are never too old to start something new which will benefit your

What
is Taekwon Do?
Taekwon Do is the mental training and techniques of unarmed combat for self-defence
as well as health. It involves the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks
and dodges with bare hands and feet for the rapid destruction of a moving opponent
or opponents.
On April 11, 1955 after
exhaustive researching, developing and experimenting, General Choi Hong Hi proclaimed
Taekwon Do to the world as a completely valid and unique martial art having
a basic Korean origin. On March 22, 1966 General Choi founded the International
Taekwon Do Federation in Seoul, Korea with the consent of 9 countries. This
is the original Taekwon Do.
The Bai Rui
School teaches the original Taekwon Do to each and every student regardless
of their size, age, colour, gender or rank. The school has clubs Australia wide
and has been established for nearly 20 years.. The United States Taekwon Do
Federation (USTF) has formally accepted the Bai Rui School as a sister school
(Recognition Plague No 51). Bai Rui is only the second school in the world to
be granted this status.
Tae Kwon Do has 6 belt
colours: white, yellow, green, blue, red and black. Each colour signifies a
particular stage of the student's progression through the art.
|
White
signifies the innocence as that of a beginning student with no prior knowledge
of Taekwon Do. |
|
Yellow
signifies the earth from which the plant takes root as as in the Taekwon
Do foundation that is being laid. |
|
Green
signifies the plant's growth as the Taekwon Do skill begins to develop
|
|
Blue
signifies the heaven toward which the plant matures into a towering tree
as training in Taekwon Do progresses. |
|
Red
signifies danger, cautioning the student to exercise control and warning
opponents to stay away. |
|
Black
is the opposite of white, therefore, signifying the student's maturity
and proficiency in Taekwon Do. It also indicates the wearer's imperviousness
to darkness and fear. |
What can we offer you?
A professional
and organised approach to training. Instruction in class is given in
many different ways for example:
-
Students are taught techniques
or patterns in a whole class situation or broken off to perfect certain
techniques within their rank groups. Senior students are willing to give
their time to help others. Both senior and junior students benefit as it
is a good way to consolidate what they have learnt and be able to clearly
pass on that information to another student.
-
Attack and defence techniques
that are used in patterns are put into practice when applying self defence.
-
Students are shown correct ways
to release from grabs, holds, locks and knife attacks. No matter how small
you are, using the proper technique whilst remaining calm enables you to
release from various grabs.
-
Sparring is practiced at training
in a controlled and disciplined manner.
Excellent training
facilities. Kurwongbah School Hall has wooden floor, plenty of room,
changing facilities and excellent ventilation.
Instructors
who train regularly with the Chief Instructor / Examiner (Mr Charles
Birch) and are continually updating their skills and training methods
An atmosphere
which fosters respect, courtesy and integrity
Extra seminars
which all members are invited to attend to improve in particular areas eg. patterns,
sparring, knife defence, self defence etc. Throughout the year, Bai Rui School
offers all students many different seminars to enhance their technique. Bai
Rui School boasts ten Sabums (4th Degree to 6th Degree Black Belt), eight 3rd
Degree Black Belts and numerous 2nd and 1st Degree Black Belts. The black belts
participate in the seminars and are always there to assist the junior student.
National tournaments
with overseas participation. Bai Rui School regularly holds tournaments
both in Brisbane and in smaller regional areas. Any student from any club is
welcome and encouraged to participate from the Wee Pee Wees (5 years) to the
Presidents Division (over 40). Two of our major tournaments (April and October)
are held at the Suncorp Piazza at Southbank in Brisbane. Events that are held
at the tournaments are not only sparring bouts but also include patterns, breaking,
special techniques and special events. Everyone can participate at any level.
Many parents and friends join in the excitement by assisting judges with time
keeping or being ring monitors.
Summer Camp.
Every year a weekend camp is held for all students. For the last 5 years it
has been held in early December at Alexandra Headlands on the Sunshine Coast
in Queensland. Students from around Australia come together for training as
well as fun activities designed to heighten the awareness of the student and
encourage interaction between clubs.
