We invited TV3′s Morning Show and presenter Sybil Mulcahy up to Taekwon-do Grandmaster Robert Howard’s ‘dojang’ (Korean for school) in Cabra this week for a demonstration on the skills of Taekwon-do.
Grandmaster Howard talked about his promotion in North Korea and showed that at 73 he’s lost little of prowess. Some of his younger more nimble students did the more complicated kicks and punches including a smashing of brick with one punch and the breaking of up to ten tiles with flying kicks. They were even able to break tiles just with their wrists, thus proving that any part of your body can be used to defend yourself.
Sybils was a great sport and even held board as it was broken by Grandmaster Howard’s seven year old grandson Finn.
