Premium Workshop Hoshin Poomsae – Poomsae in Application
Exclusively in Europe, we offer training in Hoshin Poomsae – Poomsae in Application.
Hoshin Poomsae takes the traditional forms beyond a purely aesthetic dimension and reveals what lies within their movements: effective techniques with concrete applications. This creates a new, deeper understanding of Poomsae – far beyond simply performing the forms.
The two-day Premium Workshop offers intensive training in a small group and the opportunity to explore the practical applications of Poomsae in depth.
Anyone who has already participated in the Hoshin Poomsae Workshop three times can take part in the Hoshin Poomsae Instructor Course at Season 11. A regular Hoshin Poomsae Workshop will take place in parallel.
Premium Workshop Women Self Defense
Practical, versatile and open to everyone: the Women Self Defense Weekend Workshop is open to all interested participants, with or without previous martial arts experience. Over two days, different areas of self-defense will be trained intensively.
Premium Workshop Full Power Kali
Experienced Kali expert and TKDD Instructor Manolo Luis Del Rosario is coming directly from the Philippines to Sindelfingen. The seminar is open to the TKDD community as well as to all interested newcomers and guests who would like to experience authentic Kali and get to know the special atmosphere of TKDD.
Special: TKDD Day

The number of participants is limited.
Train together. Think ahead together.
TKDD Season 11 brings together a thriving, international TKDD community in Sindelfingen. Taekwondo practitioners from different countries, schools, and associations train at a high level in an international atmosphere. This seminar is more than just a training course—it is a shared experience within a strong TKDD community.
Why Taekwondo Defense—and why this seminar?
Many Taekwondo practitioners focus either on the competitive or the traditional aspects of the art. Realistic self-defense often plays only a secondary role.
This is where Taekwondo Defense comes in.
The seminar teaches dynamic, application-oriented techniques that meaningfully complement existing Taekwondo and open up new perspectives for your own training—technically challenging, structured, and practical.
At the same time, Season 11 – Beyond the Milestone – serves as a gathering place for a strong international TKDD community:
training with like-minded individuals, professional exchange, and collaborative exploration of Taekwondo Defense—across national and federation boundaries.
International TKDD Training Course in Sindelfingen
The TKDD course in Sindelfingen is open to qualified Taekwondo practitioners as well as Budo athletes from other styles around the world. It marks an important milestone in the development of TKDD in Europe. Since 2022, a vibrant community has emerged that now trains actively at around 30 locations across Europe.
This seminar is aimed at anyone who
- wants to take their Taekwondo to the next level,
- systematically learn practical self-defense,
- and become part of an international TKDD community.
