Training Equipment

Thinking of setting up a small training center at home?  Floor protection is a must to prevent injuries from slips and falls.  The puzzle mats easily fit together to create a stable yet safe floor area.

This is one of the single most important pieces of training equipment.  The Rip Cord was developed by Olympic Gold Medalist Herb Perez.  It helps develop great speed, power, and “snap” in your techniques.  It is highly recommended for all students.

If you’re not quite ready to spring for a Wavemaster but need to develop power in your techniques, we recommend purchasing a kicking shield.  The shield can be held by a parent or fellow student for single kicks or combinations.

The target paddle or “focus paddle” is used to develop aim and snap in your techniques.  They can be held by an instructor or parents to work on single kicks or fast combinations and give excellent feedback on technique quality.

The Wavemaster is one of the best training tools for Olympic Taekwondo.  You can use it to practice all types of kicks and combinations and it helps to build technique and power.  It also acts as a holder for the Rip Cord and can be used to help with pushups, situps, and other strength/cardio routines.
