further training. Also, these exercises also improve power, strength and muscle
flexibility.

5. Free-Sparring
Free-sparring is only for senior grade / level students. All free-sparring activities
would be done with full sets of sparring equipment for protection which include
head-gear, protector, shin guard, arm guard and supporter. All sparring is done
according to the rules and regulations set by the World Taekwondo Federation.
6. Mental Development
Most important of all is the development of character and mental health. Through
serious and tough practices, students can slowly build up their self-confidence
and self-esteem. Together with the traditional
Taekwondo spirit, discipline and will-power
are gradually cultivated. Furthermore, group games are organized in order to
train students' cooperation and team
spirit.
