ITF PIONEERS NZ CD

Don`t be put off by the fact that this is based around New Zealand ITF history, like the first CD it contains rare & historic footage of Taekwon-do. It is an excellant CD.

A Definite Collectors Item

The CD contains digitised footage of Taekwon-do in New Zealand by some of the pioneers of the art. Rare footage converted from 8mm film, that was taken in the early 70`s & 80`s, plus a complete video history of ITFNZ (which has universal appeal - I loved it & I`m from the UK), produced for the ITF Instructors conference in 2001. All the videos contain music & commentry soundtracks that explain the action as it happens.

*The following is whats on the CD*

NZ History Part 1 (1970 - 1985)
Part 1 includes footage of all major events in ITFNZ history beginning with early club footage, Brisbane tournament in 1981, Dawn Cotton documentary, early tournaments, telethon and the Sharp tournament in 1985.






NZ History Part 2 (1989-2001)
Part 2 shows the ITFNZ demo team tour in 1990, visits by General Choi, Grand Master Sereff and others, seminars and camps, television exposure, senior gradings, world champs and much more.


Malaysia / Singapore (1973)
Footage of the clubs where Mr Evan Davidson learnt his Taekwon-Do in Singapore and Malaysia. This is truly classic footage including patterns, step sparring, model sparring, sweeps and ground work and free sparring.







Upper Hunt (1974)
Here you will see demonstrations put on by the Upper Hutt and Miramar clubs in the mid 70's, and include Mr Evan Davidson and Mr Ben Mose Model Sparring, Mr Harry Hemana breaking tiles, and club members sparring and performing other breaks


Kung Fu Dragons (1975)
This home movie has been digitised from old super 8 film and sound tracks added. Paul McPhail and Alan Davis (both 13 years old) fight it out Kung Fu style in the McPhail's back yard, finishing with a spectacular scene by the swimming pool.
(I loved this, worth the price of the CD alone)








Massey University (1978)
