Costantini Among Youngest Black Belts in US KITTERY Nick Costantini of Kittery, has been awarded his 1st Dan black belt in Taekwondo by the Kukkiwon, the governing body of the World Taekwondo Federation in Seoul, South Korea. At age 9, he is currently one of the youngest black belts recognized by the Kukkiwon in the United States. He has been training in the Korean martial art since May 2009 under the expert instruction of Grandmaster Sun Woo Park at Park’s Taekwondo School in Portsmouth, NH. Grandmaster Park is an 8th Dan black belt in Taekwondo. Nick was required to pass a
series of rigorous, multi-faceted tests in order to earn belt promotion. His 1st Dan test required candidates to display proficiency in kicking, blocking and punching techniques; demonstrate a series of ‘Poomsae’, or a defined sequence of memorized movements which simulate offensive and defensive maneuvers; onestep sparring which replicates self-defense and takedown methods; multiple rounds of contact sparring; a written essay and test regarding knowledge of Korean terms and the philosophical tenets of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. His test concluded with a four-station board
break. He is also a participant in Park’s Taekwondo Demo team, which travels throughout the Seacoast to perform various elements of the martial art, including synchronized drills, contact sparring and board breaking, all of which emphasize speed, agility, and power. Taekwondo, which in Korean means “The art of kicking and punching” has over 30 million participants worldwide in 175 countries, and became an official Olympic medal sport at the 2000 Sydney games. To learn more about Taekwondo, feel free to call Grandmaster Park at 603-433-2099.
