Packing a Punch

Simcocks Advocates has been showing it can pack a punch.

Staff at the Douglas-based law firm took part in a self defence session led by Tony Vohra, the Official International Taekwondo referee for the Isle of Man.

Tony, who is an 8th Dan Grandmaster in Taekwondo and also teaches kung fu and kickboxing, gave the group an introduction to the principles of self defence. Working with punch pads he put them through their paces giving instruction on gripping, defensive and attacking manoeuvres.

Tony said: “Practical self defence principles are a necessary life skill everyone should learn regardless of their age or sporting ability. I was very impressed with the efforts of all Simcocks lawyers and staff. They were all very focused and fun to work with.”

Chief executive of Simcocks Advocates, Phil Games said: “We are delighted we could accommodate the training session at our office. Our staff showed a great deal of enthusiasm in the course and thought it was very worthwhile. Taekwondo is a dynamic form of exercise and a health body leads to a healthy mind, which has to be a positive thing for any workplace.”

The training session at Simcocks coincided with Tony’s visit to the Island in his capacity as adviser and trainer to the Isle of Man Taekwondo Association, which is a non profit making body that provides tuition to children and adults. For more information see www.iomtkd.org
