TEMPO TAEKWON – DO EXTRA™
THE AUDIO CD THAT HELPS DEVELOP RHYTHM AND TIMING
III EDITION (Updated : June 2008)
Mr. Barry Parsons VI Degree. During my 35 years in TaeKwon-Do I have attended many Seminars under numerous Masters and Grand Masters and trained with the some of the world’s greatest exponents in martial arts.
One of the most memorable seminars I attended was in 1998 in Leicester, England. Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi, the legendary founder of Taekwon-Do, together with his son Master Choi Jung Hwa, instructed on technical content. The Seminar covered, among other things, all 24 ITF patterns from chon Ji to Tong IL.
I was already using tempo when instructing students at my own clubs, I then began to realise the true potential of this training aid and how it could benefit other instructors and their students.Tempo-TKD is now on it's III edition June 2008, I thank all instructor and student who have made a contributions to improve Tempo training CDs. Using the beats as an audio triggers is a way to challenge students and bring together the class as a unit.
Anyone interested in seminars or purchasing a Tempo Taekwon-Do™ C.D. should contact Mr. Parsons by email at : barry.parsons@essential-tkd.co.uk

A great training aid for both junior and senior students. Helps to develop timing and co-ordination for group and individual training. Brings a new challenge to traditional pattern practice.

Tempo TaeKwon-Do teaches students good rythum and timing as instructed by General Choi Hong Hi. A great training aid that will help even the most advanced students and bring a breath of fresh air into pattern practice. It’s what we have been waiting for.
Mr.Owen Rosewell V Degree Caerphilly TaeKwon-Do says:
I used Tempo TaeKwon-Do at my classes last night for the first time, had a resounding effect. Magic! Can't wait to unleash Tempo-TKD on my next class tomorrow.
Mr.Dave Quigg III USA-3-1060. ITF, USITF, WHA says:
How great is that! Just watching the version on your site, it kind of gets embedded in your mind. Sure beats trying to explain it to students. Sometimes I almost want to resort to "you can never do a pattern to slow" to get the students close to the correct speed. Also quite unique with the sounds changing from continuous motion to regular. A GREAT learning tool.
