Master Willie Lim

Master Willie Lim visited Paul M Papakura for a special session on Wednesday 14th August 2013, 6.00 - 8 pm. Master Lim previously visited our club in 2006. Master Lim is Master Steve Pellow's own instructor so it is even more significant to have him visit our club.

Master Lim was a pioneer of Taekwon-Do in New Zealand. He appeared in the Auckland Star on the 16th of May 1970 doing a flying high kick and then after had a new influx of people joining his club at the Auckland Judo Academy. He later settled in Hamilton and was the head of United Martial Arts. Master Lim currently lives in the United States and conducts seminars throughout America and the UK.

Master Lim resurrects interest in the traditional patterns by sharing with you the classical techniques as intended by the original masters. Although blocks, kicks, and punches are an important aspect of the art, Master Lim interprets forms as a collection of nerve strikes, locks, releases, and counters.

At the end of 2006 we conducted a small survey of the Papakura members. Some interesting results:

  • The thing "most" people voted for as the thing they enjoy most in Taekwon-Do was...FREE SPARRING (closely followed by Patterns & Tournaments)
  • And the worst...58% percent of the votes were for THEORY.

Success at the Under 18 Finals

Congratulations to Melissa and Ethan for winning the Grand Champion Trophies..both for the third time! See photos and results here.
