Learn about the Martial Arts Open School

Dafne Leis Menken






My experience with Taekwondo classes was so great. I enjoyed them very much, we learnt stances, ways of kicking and punching and ways to defend ourselves from attacks too.

I really enjoyed going to these classes because I have always enjoyed doing these kinds of activities related with martial arts. When I was younger, I had practiced up Kung-Fu, and in the seventh grade I started to go to the Taekwondo classes at my school. They were really fun! The teachers were great too: they helped me when I didn’t understand how to do some of the exercises and, when I had errors, they explained what I was doing wrong in a way in which I understood in what I was making errors, because some teachers (not the martial arts, in this case at least) will just tell you that you’re doing something wrong and leave you wondering what mistake you are making, even if you figure it out or not

In this case, open school classes were great, the teachers were good at explaining and they were really encouraging, they explained things in a way in which everybody understood what we had to do, and they were very patient as well. The things that we learned were interesting, some of the attacks were different to the ones I learnt in the first classes that I took, though I can understand that each country has several different ways to teach martial arts’ movements.

In short, my experience was really enjoyable. I would like to take these classes again! Thank you very much for this opportunity!
