TRAINING SCHEDULE
(Sooryon Gehoek Pyo)
In any undertaking, good planning reduces the risks and increases the probability of success. Well planned programs properly carried out can be likened to catching fish with a net while poorly planned programs can be compared to catching fish with one's bare hands, an obviously inefficient and wasteful exercise.
As training for Taekwon-Do mobilizes the muscles of the entire body, it requires a large amount of energy. A student must move up gradually, from the easy steps to the more difficult, from the basic to the more advanced stages of the development process.
In this manner, the student will not only enhance his health but will develop his techniques thoroughly and consistently. A Taekwon-Do instructor is responsible for the planning of the detailed training schedule for each of his students, particularly the grade holders, so that the programs set for them can be carried out properly and on a timely basis, with students receiving the right amount of instruction in the specified time.
The training schedule ideally should provide a general overview of all of the training programs which in turn are broken into more detailed steps showing the course outline for each class and grade level within a particular program.
The training schedule listed here is a rather broad one. For beginners training for first degree black belt, however, it does present the basic requirement. It is necessary for the instructor to formulate a detailed master training program and lesson plan. This will allow the course to be conducted in a more efficient manner.
There are three rather important rules that should be followed:
- Teach students by rank to avoid unnecessary duplication of exercises by senior students.
- Divide the class into courses for children, adult, and senior citizens. This will enable everyone to practice without fear of either injury or over exertion.
- Rather than allowing the whole class to rest at the same time break the training schedule up so one group is able to rest while watching another group practice.
The group resting should be aligned at the furthest extreme of the practice area and should remain silent while the other group is training. There is a beneficial side effect in this method. The resting group will be able to spot mistakes their classmates are making, thereby correcting their own.
