Excellent. Position of the hand, high kicks, stances were well done. Hand and foot timing were well executed. This demonstration will help me to learn this form in a few days.
I have not trained since 2016, I am first dan, I am resuming my solo training, I miss having a teacher who teaches me new things, this video has helped me learn it
I realize that this video is about 5 years old, but this is an outstanding form. A couple minor mistakes here and there, but nothing critical and very well performed.
This is poomsae, not combat. The more you can demonstrate your skills (especially when it comes to flexibility), the more it will esthetic and the more points you'll earn.
Thanks. A Few points though, look at his double Yop Chagi, the High section/Head Kick, is fully extended and he starts leaning over almost before retracting his leg. This holds true for all his side kicks. That's not "flicky", that's "thrusty". Second, he puts his reaction hand bang on his belt (just as I was taught to do), was my 6th Dan Master wrong? Third, WTF stances are generally higher & shorter than ITF ones, I'd recommend checking out Master Woo (on here). best wishes, Gary O., 1st Dan
Nice work and giop chagi but you dont use both hands for hannasonnnal moch chigi,hannasonal bakat chigi,hannasonal area maki and kaltsebi...what mean ;for example,I want to do hannasonal moch chigi with my right hand...the left hand will be high (olgul) slightly bent before hitting with the right hand but when I hit the left will be on the belt...Did you understand ?
Well, I explained why I think the height of the 2nd Yop chagi might be allowed; but for realism's sake, point taken. That said, I know people who can do breaking with "vertical" kicks. Anyhoo, I don't believe we should start saluting again, but my Master also competed and was, at one time, World Champion. He was also taught by GM Rhee Ki Ha. So maybe we should let the Masters argue it out? hehe Bottom line, there are FAR WORSE performances of this Pattern online. with respect, Gary O. 1st Dan
ps. (these are never long enough, especially when you get technical! lol) Kicking height in forms is surely a matter of taste, when it comes to full extension. Obviously low/mid section are well within most students' "reach", so to speak, but high section is a chance to demonstrate one's flexibility and ability. Why is that wrong? I have see Koryo performed with 180 degree Yop Chagi, & I've seen Choi Yong performed with a 180 degree bandae Golcho chagi/Yop chagi combo. I mean no disrespect.
It has to be impressive, how do you expect the judges in competition to look upon you if you don't give the best of yourself ? Speed and rythm are very important, they'll make you look way more aggressive. You have to take consideration of that if you don't want the audience to fall asleep during your performance...
erm, what exactly is WRONG with his "kicks, stances back hand positions"? Please explain IN DETAIL; because to me, this looks amazing, & I have some experience in the Art, so I'm not exactly unused to watching Tae Kwon Do stylists.
the kicks are to high and too flicky, he needs to lock them out with mire back showing, his stances are to high and short, they need to be longer and deeper, and on every move (excluding the knifehands) his backhand needs to be pulled right back, whereas he leaves it a litle bit out to the side, not next to the floating rib cage. Hope this is constructive enough to you :) your's sincerely, itfc078, 1st kyu
californiadreamin7 It's called a poomsae or form. Everybody knows they aren't actual fighting moves. It's just traditional show-off type stuff. Also, it's Taekwondo, not MMA.
Non trovo niente di particolare in queste forme, io stesso ho praticato questo sport e molte arti marziali, le forme basilari del karate sono della stessa difficoltà di questa, anche se da expraticante posso solo complimentarmi per l'ottima resa di questa forma
@HappyLuca05 perchè dovrebbe essere stupido, solo perchè non capisce l'italiano? questo sito è internazionale e non appartiene soltanto alle persone che parlano l'italiano. magari il vero stupido sei te, visto che critichi ma il tuo nick ha metà del inglese.
