Grounds of Folk Games on the Increase [KSF - 2015/4/10]

In North Phyongan Province

A number of grounds of folk games were laid in the Mt. Myohyang area, with different facilities and instruments for chess, yut and other games.

Yomju County built a marvellous sports park last year which is equipped with facilities and instruments for various kinds of folk games.

Factories and enterprises in Sinuiju City also established the Namsang Park, a folk park, furnished with grounds for swinging, seesawing, ssirum (Korean wrestling) and archery. The park was added with a paduk (go) house recently, while a ssirum hall went up with credit in the Amnokkang Pleasure Ground.

Future Taekwon-Do Practitioners

In the DPRK, a big effort is being channelled into the education in Taekwon-Do, traditional martial art permeated with the stamina and spirit of the Korean nation, and development of its techniques.
The South Hwanghae Provincial Taekwon-Do Team is picking out students with more aptitude and hope for the event and training them into excellent players.

First of all, the team is making scrupulous plans of training based on the detailed analysis of the students’ constitutions, psychological features and fitness.
Coaches are educating the players in fundamental techniques of Taekwon-Do, while ensuring that they keep synchronized and accurate movements in every pattern with the help of visual aids, video clips and demonstration of model movements.

They are putting efforts into training the players to be dexterous in various techniques and skills of sparring and get wider appreciation of every element and movement. They are also preparing them physically so as to play seven or eight rounds in match and raise the percentage of success in executing elements of difficulty such as jumping body turning kick.

The sports team is making strenuous efforts to train the reserves on the basis of correct methodology. To this end, it encourages its coaches to model after the innovative views and coaching experiences of those who achieved good results in international and domestic matches.

Coach Yun Hui Un, by delving deep into individual characters of the students, is developing rational training methods and applying them to training so as to make satisfactory results in the execution of elements of difficulty. Regular drills of sparring are conducted in different situations, thus instilling in students confidence in their technical skills and inspiring them to give full play to their fortes.

Thanks to the efforts of the coaches, the team achieved victory in the 17th Jongilbong Prize National Taekwon-Do Championship and other games held last year.
Sa Ok Jin, Jin Hak Min and several others from the team are now active in the national team under the Korean Taekwon-Do Committee, exalting the honour of the country in international games.
