The Taekwondo & Hapkido syllabuses are not static. New Wave instructors are constantly refining them to aid the progress of students. As has become our custom, we will use the first Camp of the year to lay down the foundation for what is required, in order for students to progress throughout the year. In recent years the club has put a greater emphasis on: rolls, breakfalls, wrist locks, throws, in essence, self-defence. This camp will take the opportunity to cover all aspects of the New Wave syllabus.
