    Training Routine 2025: building a year of martial arts success

    As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your goals and create a plan to achieve them. In the world of martial arts, a solid training routine forms the foundation for physical, mental, and technical growth. At Team Daedo, we’re here to guide you in designing your 2025 training routine, ensuring that every step on the mat brings you closer to success.

    Why Do You Need a Training Routine?

    Committing to a training plan not only enhances your technique and physical condition but also strengthens your mind and spirit. Martial arts like judo, taekwondo, and karate are disciplines that teach essential values such as perseverance, self-control, and resilience. A well-structured routine will help you:

    • Improve your performance on the mat.
    • Stay motivated and overcome challenges.
    • Invest in your physical and mental health.

    If you’re ready to make 2025 your year, here are some tips to structure an effective training routine.

    How to Choose the Perfect Martial Art for You

    Before committing to a routine, it’s important to decide which discipline best suits your goals and personal preferences. Here are the key characteristics of three popular martial arts:

    1. Judo: Ideal for Those Who Enjoy Physical Contact and Grappling Techniques

    Judo focuses on throws, takedowns, and ground control. If you enjoy direct physical contact and strategic body-to-body work, this sport might be for you.

    • Main Focus: projection techniques and ground control.
    • Benefits: builds endurance, balance, and the ability to solve problems quickly.
    • Who It’s For: individuals who prefer a physical and technical approach and are interested in learning how to use an opponent’s weight and strength to their advantage.

    2. Taekwondo: Perfect for Those Who Love Dynamic Kicks and Agility

    Taekwondo is renowned for its impressive high kicks and agile movements. It’s an excellent option if you enjoy speed and precision.

    • Main Focus: kicking techniques and self-defense.
    • Benefits: enhances flexibility, leg strength, and coordination.
    • Who It’s For: people seeking a dynamic martial art with an emphasis on explosiveness and mobility.

    3. Karate: A Balanced Option for Strength, Technique, and Discipline

    Karate combines striking techniques using punches, kicks, and defensive movements. It’s a versatile martial art that emphasizes discipline and self-control.

    • Main Focus: precise strikes and self-defense.
    • Benefits: develops strength, speed, and concentration.
    • Who It’s For: those looking for a balance of strength, technique, and mental focus.

    How to Structure Your 2025 Training Routine

    A good training routine is key to staying motivated and achieving your goals. Here are the essential steps:

    1. Define Your Personal Goals

    Before creating a routine, ask yourself:
    • What do I want to achieve?
    • Am I looking to improve my technique, gain flexibility, or perhaps prepare for competitions?
    • How much time can I dedicate to training each week?

    Having clear goals will give you direction and motivation. Whether your aim is to improve in judo, work on karate katas, or perfect taekwondo kicks, write it down and place it somewhere visible.

    2. Set a Fixed Schedule

    A solid routine begins with planning. Decide on the days and times you’ll train and stick to them as if they were important appointments. For example:

    • Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: technique and sparring.
    • Tuesday and Thursday: strength and conditioning exercises.
    • Saturday: flexibility and meditation.

    Remember, you don’t need to train for endless hours. A well-structured session of 60–90 minutes is enough to make progress, as long as you’re consistent.

    3. Include Complementary Exercises

    While judo, taekwondo, and karate are complete disciplines, adding complementary exercises can take your performance to the next level. Here are some ideas:

    • Strength Training: improves your ability to perform explosive movements like throws and kicks.
    • Cardio: increases your endurance to maintain intensity during matches.
    • Flexibility: dedicate time to stretching to prevent injuries and improve your range of motion.

    Stay Committed Throughout the Year

    The key to success is not just starting but staying consistent. Remember why you decided to practice martial arts: perhaps it’s to achieve a black belt, improve your fitness, or simply enjoy the process. Keep that motivation alive and focus on your progress, step by step.

    Make 2025 Your Best Year in Martial Arts

    The year 2025 is an opportunity to advance, grow, and enjoy the journey on the mat. Design a training routine that propels you toward your goals and allows you to savor every step of the way. At Team Daedo, we’re here to support you every step of the journey.

    Train with passion, discipline, and determination. This year, become the best version of yourself. Happy 2025, and let nothing stop you on your path to success!

    How to Personalize Your Training Uniform

    Personalizing uniforms goes beyond aesthetics: it’s a form of expression, identity, and pride. Teams, clubs, and professional athletes seek to personalize their uniforms to stand out and represent their essence. At Daedo, we understand the importance of these details, which is why we offer a wide range of customization options. This way, each uniform becomes an exclusive piece that represents each club or athlete.

     

    Sublimation on Polyester

    Sublimation on polyester is a technique that allows for designs to be printed directly onto the fabric. This is perfect for personalizing full uniforms or specific areas, such as sleeves, back, chest, or skirt. This method is particularly appreciated by teams that want their uniforms to fully reflect the colors and emblem of their club.

     

     

    Characteristics of Sublimation on Polyester:

      • The design integrates with the fabric, preventing discomfort or a raised feel.
      • Exceptional durability; won’t peel or fade over time.
      • Ability to apply photographic details and gradients. This type of customization not only provides practicality but also adds a professional and modern touch to the uniform, ideal for championships and exhibitions. It’s perfect for doboks and karategis with a high polyester content. Not suitable for judogis, as they typically contain a higher percentage of cotton.

     

    Attention! Care Tips for Sublimated Polyester Garments:

      • Wash inside out
      • Do not iron
      • Do not use hot water (maximum 30°C) as the garment may fade
      • Avoid mixing with rough garments that may damage the fabric
     

    Sublimated Patches

    Sublimated patches are ideal for those who want detailed, colorful designs. The sublimation process involves transferring special inks onto the fabric using heat, allowing colors to penetrate the fibers and integrate seamlessly into the material. This type of customization is durable and ensures patches maintain their vibrant look over time and after multiple washes and intensive use.

     

     

    Advantages of Sublimated Patches:

    • Vivid and crisp colors, perfect for complex logos or small details
    • Resistant to wear and fading
    • Versatile designs, from club emblems to commemorative badges

    This technique can be adapted to different textiles by either applying sublimation or sewing the patch onto the fabric.

     

     

    Attention! Care Tips for Sublimated Patches:

      • Wash inside out
      • Do not use hot water (maximum 30°C)
      • Iron inside out if necessary
     

    Embroidery

    Embroidery is a classic technique that adds a touch of distinction and quality to the uniform. It is highly valued for its durability and the unique texture it provides, making it an elegant way to highlight logos, names, and team titles.

     

     

    Benefits of Embroidery:

    • Long lifespan, even with frequent use and washing
    • Unique texture that stands out on any garment
    • Ideal for personalized names and solid design logos

    Embroidery is especially popular among those seeking a traditional and prestigious look. It’s perfect for representing titles and honors in a formal and respectful manner. This technique is ideal for judogis, karategis, and doboks with a high cotton content.

     

     

    Attention! Care Tips for Embroidered Garments:

    • Hand wash with soapy water for 20 minutes
    • Gently rub dirty areas, avoiding the embroidery
    • Rinse and air dry

     

    Textile Vinyl

    Textile vinyl is a versatile option for quickly and efficiently personalizing uniforms. It involves applying a vinyl sheet onto the fabric with heat. Cut vinyl, on the other hand, allows for specific designs to be cut and applied to specific areas of the uniform.

     

    Highlights of Textile Vinyl:

      • Wide range of colors and finishes, including matte and shiny options
      • Ideal for large, visible details such as names and numbers
      • Quick application and relatively low cost compared to other techniques

    This option is perfect for clubs that need to personalize uniforms practically without sacrificing visual appeal. It can be applied to parkas, jackets, tracksuits, and more.

     

    Attention! Care Tips for Garments with Textile Vinyl:

    • Wash with cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle, inside out
    • Use mild detergent

     

    Emblem Catalog

    Our emblem catalog is designed to meet the needs of all martial arts enthusiasts. Whether you want a commemorative patch for an event, an emblem with your dojo’s logo, or a personalized design to celebrate a master’s achievements, we have the tools and expertise to create it.

     

     

    Options We Offer:

      • Embroidered patches for a more traditional look
      • Sublimated emblems for intricate details and vibrant colors
      • Combinations of techniques, such as embroidery with sublimation, for a unique finish
     

    Why Choose Us for Your Uniform Customization?

    At Daedo, we don’t just offer a product; we provide a complete customization experience. Our team of design and tailoring experts works closely with clients to ensure each uniform reflects the identity and values of its wearer.

     

     

    Our Commitments Include:

      • Personalized attention: We offer design advice and a close, attentive service to ensure a complete and satisfying experience
      • Variety and flexibility: We adapt to any need, from small orders to large volumes

     

     

    Use Cases: Beyond Uniforms

    In addition to uniform customization, our techniques are ideal for creating gifts and mementos that honor senseis and strengthen team spirit. For example:

      • Commemorative T-shirts: Perfect for championships or special events
      • Personalized equipment: Jackets, windbreakers, bags, and other accessories can be customized
     

    The personalization of martial arts uniforms is more than a trend; it’s a way to represent the pride, history, and achievements of each practitioner and club. Whether through sublimated patches, traditional embroidery, or textile vinyl, our company is dedicated to turning your vision into reality and offering products that stand out in both quality and style.

    Daedo International and European Taekwondo Union Renew Sponsorship Contract for 2025-2028

    Belgrade, May 10, 2024 – Daedo International, the leading provider of Taekwondo equipment, is proud to announce the renewal of its sponsorship contract with the European Taekwondo Union (ETU) for the period 2025-2028. The contract signing ceremony took place today at the Metropol Hotel in Belgrade, Serbia, with Daedo’s Director Sam Park and ETU Secretary General Antonio Barbarino officiating the event. 

    Commitment to Innovation and Excellence 

    The renewed partnership will see the introduction of Daedo’s third-generation Protector Scoring System (PSS Gen3) in 2024. This advanced system includes a punch sensor and a much more reliable wireless connection, aiming to be used in 100% of championships across Europe and globally. These enhancements underscore Daedo’s commitment to enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of Taekwondo competitions. 

     

    Sam Park, Director of Daedo International, commented, “We are thrilled to extend our partnership with the ETU. Despite the challenges we’ve faced with the Gen2 system and not being selected as the Olympic PSS provider, these obstacles have only motivated us to work harder. The Gen3 PSS system will be years ahead in development, ensuring the consistency and reliability of results in Taekwondo, making it a fair sport. We accept all criticism constructively to help our system improve because it’s not about the technology; it’s about the sport.” 

    A Trust-Based Relationship 

    Daedo’s longstanding relationship with the ETU has been built on mutual trust and a shared vision for the future of Taekwondo. The ETU’s decision to continue this partnership into the next Olympic cycle reflects the unwavering support Daedo has provided over the years. Key factors in this decision included the successful implementation of the On-Venue Results (OVR) system and Daedo’s consistent innovation in sports technology. 

     

    Mr. Chuen Wook Park, CEO of Daedo, expressed his enthusiasm about the renewed collaboration, stating, “Our support for President Sakis Pragalos and the ETU is unconditional. We are excited to see how Taekwondo develops over the next four years, and we remain committed to contributing to its growth and success.” 

    Expanding the Horizons of Taekwondo 

    Looking forward, the renewed agreement will also see the introduction of Virtual Taekwondo, an augmented reality (AR) system exclusively distributed by Daedo in Europe. This innovative technology aims to develop the eSports aspect of Taekwondo, integrating it into the future of the sport. 

     

     

    “Supporting the ETU has always been about making Taekwondo grow,” added Sam Park. “With the introduction of Virtual Taekwondo, we are excited to explore new dimensions of the sport and engage a broader audience.” 

    Supporting Taekwondo Worldwide 

    In addition to its collaboration with the ETU, Daedo continues to sponsor national Taekwondo federations in Spain, Italy, France, Great Britain, Turkey, and many other countries worldwide. This extensive support network highlights Daedo’s dedication to fostering Taekwondo at all levels, from grassroots to elite competition. 

    Remarks from ETU Leadership 

    ETU President Sakis Pragalos expressed his gratitude and confidence in the renewed partnership, stating, “Thank you so much to Daedo for their unwavering support. The trust between ETU and Daedo has been the main factor for this renewal. We look forward to continuing our work together to advance Taekwondo in Europe.”
