On 11th October 2008, TKD Impact hosted its big annual event - Impact Day, which was held in Oriel High School in Crawley. The event was organised by Russell Dennis, TKD Impact technical Director. Following the success of the 1st ever Impact Day last year he decided to run it for 6 hours from 10am till 4pm. Students had a choice of 3 seminars every hour conducted by TKD Impact's senior instructors. Master Donato Nardizzi 8th degree covered senior patterns for 2nd degree and above, sparring, core stability and stretching. Master Kim Anderson covered red belt and 1st degree patterns, ground defence and moral culture. Mr Russell Dennis 6th degree covered colour belt patterns, weapons defence and grappling on the ground with the assistance of his senior student Steven Elliott 4th degree. Mr Roman Chirtoca 4th degree covered dynamic kicking. Pat Leahy 4th degree and qualified fitness trainer covered fitness. He took students and instructors through their paces testing their fitness with the latest state-of-the-art heart monitoring equipment. Mr Jonathan Cohen 2nd degree and qualified osteopath and lecturer in osteopathy covered injury prevention.
The students thoroughly enjoyed the day and on the following Monday TKD Impact head office received numerous e-mails with plenty of positive feedback. The students liked the variety of seminars on offer and appreciated the opportunity to choose from 3 seminars every hour. Many commented that one hour was too short for some of the topics so it will be taken into consideration when we plan Impact Day 2009.
