Yes this is the Scottish Queen! I would love to train with her! One of the most cleanest fluid techniques I have seen recorded. Gup's are for precision not speed, speed comes with repetition. Well done Ms.Cross!
Thanks for the clarity of your video. I keep coming back to it to double check stuff. I have checked a few other white belt instructionals and they create confusion.
Mr. Feliciano, unfortunately that cannot be correct, as the WTF was not created until the early 1970's. "Sinewave" as practiced currently is a fairly new creation, not being taught in mass until approximately the mid 80's. Would you care to clarify your comment?
Minute 01:00, the correct description should be Kaunde an palmok maki and not napunde an palmok maki? The translation below says middle block and nopunde means high. Am I right?
@naumutroi The speed is ITF speed, that's how we do patterns. We want to see the movements, if you go too fast, they can become a blur of poorly executed movement.
@naumutroi It's an ITF tkd pattern, so it has sine wave, ie, the bouncing up and down. The fundamental exercise was very well done IMO. I think better than in the legacy dvd. I think the legacy patterns could have been better done. Is it wrong to say that?
The exaggerated breathing sound you mention is taught to beginners and children to make sure that they exhale at the end of each movement; the instructor KNOWS that everybody is exhaling properly if they make this noise
I never passed a grading exam except for the yellow belt and I got a special red belt without grade test ! Our teacher gave it to me cause I was skilled as a kid but it was his personal belt actually it wasn’t official but I used to wear it ! I still remember like if it was yesterday
No she's actually moving pretty slowly, on purpose might I add, to better demonstrate the form, this when executed at normal speed should take about half to two thirds of the time that it took her to execute it and about one third when doing it fast
@TheGtx69 Some people run the thumb tightly along the side of the index finger. Others bend it and tuck it underneath the hand. Either way seems to work well and depends on who is the instructor who trained this person. In my art we do tuck the thumb in.
@sagagossard Its just a pattern. Its to build competence in core techniques (to make sure your doing them correctly) and instill some disciplined. Sparring and pad work never tends to be as regimented as this.
Hi, ma'am kindly show the steps in slow motion for beginners, and also show the position of fist and legs before that'll help us to follow and practice as well.
@dragonbalzy If that is the way she was trained and she is doing exactly they she was trained then thats on her instructors. the demo is not bad for the most part. it is just that for to me and in my opinion the bouncing just bothers me. Someone also made a note of of her thumb..So once again it goes back to her training and who trained her. In her style/art they may not tuck the thumb in. In mine, we do tuck the thumb and we do not bounce.
its to do with force of motion, think of how scales react if you bounce on them instead of standing still; you momentarily weigh more letting you project more force through your punches.
What's with the up and down movement before technique. This was never allowed when I trained years ago. Maybe something new but I will not teach this to my students.
Thank U very much for yr perfect exhibition that help me to try to pass exam. Greetings from Treviso(near Venice) in Italy. If some day u will pass to Treviso's airport pls inform me I wish offer u a coffee or something like that; Enrico/Henry :)
Ma'am It looks like you are leaning forward with both your punch, and inner forearm block. You may want to use more hip to get more Power. Respectfully in Tae Kwon Do 5th degree at 8th Degree Master Bill Lees U.S.A.
A nice demonstration. but i would have liked to have seen less bouncing though. Perhaps a second run through at a higher speed. And as far as korean words and phrases, the others who have commented seem to have that well in hand. i am more familiar with chinese, japanese and filipino words and phrases for techniques and so forth. cheers.
Ikr? I am only 10 and I am trying to learn.. How can I learn with some Bouncing? Maybe just a habit, my friend does it all the time while preforming Taekwondo.
action and reaction. you get more power relaxing and finally tensing your body to harden it. the wave pattern allows to prepare your body to release the technique with strength. start slow, end fast, sort of.
if your studying itf tkd then one day you will learn sign wave ! that is if your learning general choi hong hi ways any thing else is not taekwondo! as it was meant to be
I feel like if you're gonna put the romanized word for Korean, you should type it properly in Korean as well. I understand for those who dont know 한글 (Korean writing), but honestly romanization is a pain in the ass when trying to pronounce the words correctly
First .. it is kihap in korean martial arts not kiai Four direction punch and four direction block are not formal patterns but rather exercises to practice moving from on movement to another in different directions. Due to them not being formal patterns there is no need for kihap at the end If you are referring to the movements during the patterns, ITF standard doesnt require kihap during the pattern, what you hear is Ms Cross breath control
@wannabesupergirl Watch this link and you should see what i mean. TKD Single Knife Hand Block (TaekwonWoo). And if you do Tae Kwon Do either WTF, ITF, TKDI . There is a thing called Tenets.
Not all ITF uses sinewave, Not all ITF uses Kihap, not all ITF uses the same methods as some of you might. This doesn't mean that your's is better. Infact if you say "mine is better" or "that Sabum is no good" then you are really showing your lack of discipline and disrespect for the nature of Taekwon-do, making you look like a MC DOJO student or a beginner with no knowledge of diversity. LEARN THE ITF HISTORY AND POLITICAL SPLIT BEFORE YOU SAY SOMEONE IS DOING IT WRONG.
