ITF Pattern Seminar with Master Laquerre... a tremendous success! Master Pierre Laquerre, 8th Dan Black Belt and Technical Director of CTFI came to Bedford, Nova Scotia on September 18th, 2010 to conduct a pattern seminar with over 60 participants coming from various NSITF member clubs (MacKenzie TKD, Hiltz TKD, JC's TKD, Jim's TKD and Crowell TKD). The students, ranging from white belt to 6th Dan black belt began the seminar with a fun and challenging warm up that focused on strength and flexibility. He then shared his extensive knowledge of the technical side of patterns, as well as the purpose and application of the fundamental movements and how they relate to practical self defense. To wrap up the seminar, Master Laquerre took everyone through excellent relaxation and meditation exercises. All of the participants echoed their comments of enjoyment during the seminar and how much fun it was to learn from such a knowledgeable and sincere individual as Master Laquerre. On Friday evening, September 17th, 2010, Master Laquerre conducted an thorough examination for Mr. John Beer who was put to the test on patterns, step sparring, self defense, sparring, breaking and theory. Mr. Beer's performance reflected his dedicated training in Taekwon-Do and as a result was promoted to 3rd Dan Black Belt. Congratulations Mr. Beer!
