Jonathan and Laura competed in forms, board breaking and sparring in the tournament in Essex, Maryland on May 14th along side several of their fellow Gentle East students. Jonathan came away with a second place trophy in sparring, winning his first match 9 to 0, and losing the second match 8 to 4.
Their next competition will be The George Mason President’s Cup Taekwondo Championship in Virgina on June 11th.
I will be offering a workshop on Saturday April 16th that will focus on ways we can correct and restore our body using techniques that we can apply ourselves. I will be teaching a combination of techniques including Total Motion Release, myofascial stretching and soft tissue release using body balls. All of these tools will help us to gain a deeper level of body awareness which is one of the keys to healing. They will also help us to balance and restore the body to decrease pain and restrictions and to prevent further problems. Whether you are suffering from pain or injury, want to prevent those things or are interested in peak performance, this workshop will help you choose ways to nourish and restore your body to meet those goals.
When: Saturday April 16th from Noon to 1:30pm
