Kiwisport Photos, Videos and ReportsWellington has now completed its first round of TKD KiwiSport, having delivered 63 courses to 16 schools, giving 2210 children a taste of International Taekwon-Do! Well done to our Wellington KiwiSport instructors who have done a great job - and in some cases traveling long distances to give these kids the opportunity to try our art.
The courses were extremely well received at all schools, with teachers raving about the positive impact the sessions have had on the children. The teaching of the tenets and other important values along side an exciting martial art is really a great combination. Below is a snap shot of some of the classes held throughout the region.
Mr Nick Lee traveled all the way to Masterton to conduct 42 classes with 400 plus students! Mr Lee was assisted by Mrs Anita Broczek. Read the thank you to Mr Lee on page 2 of the School Newsletter »

We completed two eight week programmes for 50 boys between 24 October and 12 December 2012. The sessions were run once a week back to back on Wednesdays between 11am and 12:30pm. The two “groups” of boys were made up of boys selected to participate from across the schools year 7 classes.
All the boys in both groups attempted and successfully broke boards and in generalthey all participated with enthusiasm across all aspects of the programme. Several students demonstrated particularly good skills and stood out as having some great potential.
