Beginner students participate in basic drills for cardio and footwork training involving repetitive
combinations of kicking, punching and dodging.
After achieving their green belt, students are trained in the art of free sparring; they learn footwork
that helps them get in and out of their partner’s range, learn how to anticipate their partner’s moves
and act accordingly, as well as learn to attack and defend quickly and effectively.
Sparring provides many benefits to students:
Beginner students may borrow chest protectors from our school, but students green belt and higher
in rank are required to buy their own sparring gear and bring it to sparring classes.
The last two full weeks of classes each month are designated Sparring Weeks during which
students must bring their own gear to practice with.

Beginners and advanced students alike all get to enjoy weapons training at our school under the
careful guidance of our instructors. On designated weapons weeks, students may train in a variety of
different weapons disciplines, including bamboo swords, staff and nunchakus.
When starting out, students practice basic movements, strikes and blocks while familiarizing
themselves with the weapons and learning footwork that will allow them to use each weapon most
effectively. As students become more advanced, they perfect their basics, learning more complex
techniques and tricks that are exciting to learn and impressive when demonstrated.

Students learn how to defend against aggressors and how to prevent dangerous situations, all while
having fun and testing out techniques in a safe environment. Starting with simple movements and
steps that even beginners can enjoy practicing, our self-defense techniques focus on self-
preservation and escaping from attackers, as well as what to do if you are unable to get away and
how to deal with other emergencies.
At Sunny Kim Taekwondo, we always put our students’ safety first and train them so that they have
the tools they need to deal with bullies and attackers should a dangerous situation arise, but we also
believe in prevention and minimizing damage as much as possible; we make sure to teach students
how to handle aggressive interactions before they escalate, including what measures they can take
if they are aware they might be in danger.
