The K-tigers are based in Korea and have performed at events including the world championships - and even starred in music videos. Currently touring Australia to promote Korean culture and martial arts, they spent three days training with us in the Hinterland. They performed a spectacular show for members which mixed elements of dance, tricking and gymnastics with traditional martial arts. Kicking targets while performing flips several meters off the ground and hitting up to 6 targets in one jump were some of the highlights. Following the demonstrations, students had the opportunity to learn from the K-tigers who ran a lesson for the students helping with their patterns, or poomsae, and teaching some self defence techniques and martial arts tricking skills. The new fulltime training centre in Beerwah has proven to be a great asset as we are now able to host international teams and provide the very best environment for training. A very exciting year lies ahead, including competitions in New Zealand, Thailand and Korea.
