San Sebastian College - Recoletos (SSC-R) continued its year-long participation in national taekwondo competitions as it sent two (2) teams to the 2008 National Inter-School Taekwondo Championships held last September 20-21, 2008 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Manila.
Team Recoletos was entered in the Boys' Novice and Advance categories and were represented by the following jins: Randell Jan Evaristo, Julian Luis Serran, Jon Ehroin Barawid, John Adrian Jacalne and Lean Andre Serran in the boys' novice category while the boys' advance category was composed of Marion Emmanuel O. Paguia, Paul Christian Cabiles, Rannie Stefano Pabilico, Leonardo Bautista III and Billy Marasigan.
In the boys' advance category, as their opening opponents for the said tournament, Team Recoletos received a first round bye and awaited the winner between La Salle Greenhills and Lourdes School of Quezon City (LSQC). La Salle eventually won by walkover over LSQC and earned the right to face Team Recoletos in the next round. However, jins Paguia, Cabiles, Pabilico and Bautista all dropped their matches against their respective La Salle counterparts and it was only Marasigan who posted a win for Team Recoletos as he averted a shut-out loss for SSC-R.
On the other hand, in the boys' novice categories, Team Recoletos came out on fire as their first two (2) jins, Evaristo and Luis Serran, both won their matches over their respective rivals only to see the next three (3) drop their matches in varying fashions as it dropped a 3-2 heartbreaker against La Salle Greenhils.

Stags eye Final 4 seat
WITH no less than a Final Four berth at stake, San Sebastian College plays San Beda College in today’s make-or-break encounter in the 84 th National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball tournament at the Cuneta Astrodome.The Stags will actually gun for a ninth straight win that could change the entire scenario for the teams going into the next crucial phase.
Last Friday, the Stags beat the College of St. Benilde Blazers , 58-51, their eighth straight, to move into a tie with Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers at second spot behind the Lions at 9-4.
The Red Lions, meanwhile, stayed in front at 9-3 following their 91-74 drubbing of the Blazers last Wednesday.
If the Lions prevail over the Stags today, they will be assured of the first twice-to-beat bonus, while relegating San Sebastian to fourth spot.
This, in turn, will give the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers a chance to go for the second twice-to-beat incentive.
But a victory by the Stags will put them closer to a berth in the semis and a possible first finals berth for the first time in 11 years.
“At least, we still have a shot at the Top 2. Our journey does not end here with this win,” said Stags coach Jorge Gallent.

Axe Kick Tutorial
Video by kyryllo
It's pretty clear that you need pretty good flexibility to perform the kick it is also important to know the propper technique in order to bring some force into it. It's not only rasing the leg and putting it on the target, if you are doing it that way you then can just leave it.
There are multipple ways to make an axe kick: stiff leg or chambered, inside, outside, front.
Stiff leg version(the leg stays straight while raising)is the more physicaly demanding, but produces more force than the chambered version, which is much faster though.
Upward Movement:
Untill the foot reaches it's highest point the hips should be square to the target the head should be upright and the back curved, the foot of the supporting leg should show forward.
In the stiff leg version the leg should be swung up high in a inside/outside curve or to the front. This should be done with the highest velocity and as high as possible. When the leg reaches it's highest point, the muscles and ligamets are tensed and stop the upward movement, this tension forces the muscles to contract which dramaticaly increases the downward velocity later.
In the chambered version the leg goes up chambered (bent) in an inside/outside curve or the front and is exetended above the target (hint: front kick above the target)
Downward Movement:
The key point in both versions is the hip movement. When the foot reaches it's highest point you push your hip on the kicking leg side towards the target, turn your supporting leg outside, and lean slighty backward with your upper body (physicaly you are not leaning back, your upper body stays in place but your hips are going forward).
This initiates the active! downward movement of the leg, the axis is not!!! the knee but the hip joint and the main muscles are the glutei, supporting muscles are the ischio-curales.
Be sure that the movement is downward and not to the side, if this is the case you are turning your hips and or/leaning back too far.
To learn the correct hip movement you should start with a slow kick hip high, and performing a kind of a pushing motion starting from the supporting leg through the hips, then the inside curved stiff leged version with a full curve (crescent), then place your hand where the highest ballistic point should be and perform the hipmovement as soon the foot touches the hand.
The outside curved kick is the most difficult to bring the hip movement in it, because of the alternating movement directions.

Jumping Back Kick Tutorial
Video by kyryllo
The korean term is apbal joogo twio dwi Chagi. Apbal joogo means front foot feinting skipping motion, twio dwi chagi is jump back kick.
The first step is to bring your rear foot to your front leg creating a skipping motion. As you do this, throw your body into the opponent's safety zone. The second step is execute a jumping back kick with the rear leg, without losing your balance. To do so, align your body in the air so that you don't rotate excessively.
The primary target is the middle section. The secondary is the head which may result in a knockout if done correctly and with sufficient force. In competition, you must do this technique confidently. Once you start, there is no way back. Relax your muscles just before you jump and follow through with firm conviction.

Spinning Hook Kick Tutorial version 1
Video by kyryllo
Step by step, basics:
Turn around 180°
bend the supporting leg a little
stick your butt out
watch over the shoulder
the upper body rotates somewhat in the kick direction
hold your kicking leg loose but straight
throw it in an arcuated motion
stretch the supporting leg
the hip leads the motion not the leg!
bend down your upper body
the angle between supporting leg and body should not be under 110°-120°
the shoulder/scapula point to the target
shortly before the foot reaches the target rotate the upper body in the opposite of the kick direction while flexing the gluteus which give the leg the last bit of acceleration
when hitting the target the leg is straight
after hitting the target you can bend the leg or just swing it out
Practice the kicking motion on the wall like it is shown in the video, while doing it make sure both of your hands are on the wall when you do the kick and release them only as soon as you "hit the target", other wise you could over turn the body which would mess up the whole technique. Don't swing the arms too much. If the basic technique works try to begin the kicking motion while turning around as it is shown around sec. 00:40 into the video, faster.
