Oneonta Taekwon-do

Finn Brown earns his green stripe, while Dylan Winsor earns a green belt

Dylan Windsor performs the Do-San pattern, while Finn Brown performs Dan-Gun.

Finn breaks a board with a lead-leg side kick, Dylan breaks a board with a rear-leg side kick.
With stationary side kicks, there is always the challenge of producing momentum. These boards are 3/4 inch pine.

Both Finn and Dylan show their courtesy by bowing to the board holders, who risked their fingers to assist the test.

In this video, we see Dylan and Jennifer testing together. During class, we practice with our classmates next to us. Maintaining concentration with someone performing a different pattern is challenging. With the pressure of a promotion test, the challenge is even greater. We were very pleased with the confidence and performance of Jennifer and Dylan.

Dylan demonstrates a rear leg side kick to break a board. Please note that these are not children’s boards, these are 3/4 inch pine.

Jennifer Butler had the challenge of breaking with a lead leg…

Theo Carbone and Dylan Windsor, testing for their yellow belt, demonstrates basic blocks, punches and kicks during the July 2009 test. They also perform the pattern Chun-Ji, the first of many patterns they will have to achieve as they begin their journey with Taekwon-do.
