Team Tae Kwon Do Stars

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Earlier this morning Team PokerStars took in some local culture, taking part in a Tae Kwon Do class in the city. Joe Hachem, Isabelle Mercier, Lee Nelson, Tuan Lam and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier were treated to a lesson in the finer arts of the national Korean sport.

After a series of warm-ups, it was straight into some technique training, and the Team PokerStars players all took to it like ducks to water. They were all shown how to break boards with their fists, with Joe Hachem breaking three at once. Not to be outdone, Tuan Lam upped the ante and broke 5 boards, to which Hachem relied in kind - breaking 6 boards!

Stay tuned to the Video Gallery to see all the action.
