Master Cann/Master Woo Seminar and Junior Instructor Camp

I added the extra credit items to today's entry on the system for both the Master Cann/Master Woo Seminar and Junior Instructor Camp. At Master Cann/Master Woo's Seminar for Poomsaes, I learned how to stretch for different kicks, and I learned a lot of different changes to the higher ranking poomsaes. I learned how to do my stances properly. At Master Cann/Master Woo's Seminar for Sparring, I learned a bunch of new combinations. It was great to get the expertise from them, and see how their students are learning cool stuff. I came out with knowing stuff that I didn't think that existed. It was a great day, but exhausting. At Junior Instructor's camp, we started with kicks and team bonding exercises. Then we started to do basics, like stances and kicks, and hand positions. Then we mediated for 3 minutes. Then we watched a movie and it was very late, so I did not get a lot of sleep. We woke up early to stretches and slow kicks. We ate breakfast and got started. We started with the Instructors teaching us about the Korean flag, then we went to numchucks with Master Knight. Then to sticks with Master Evins. After that we went to staff with Master Chelley. It was a great day of practicing new techniques. Then we had the ceremony, and got our patches and certificate. It was a great camp and I am looking forward to next year.
