Taegeuk Chil Jang

[1JadeOnyx]

I like the snap in your kicks, and the way you hold your form in your blocks. This is one of my favorite forms to do. Maybe someday I will be brave enough to upload my own video performance. Keep up the good work.

[saberscorpion101]

I find these relaxing to watch! XDD

[ENTERtheMATRIX777777]

SWEET!

[ExtraLuke]

@TheMrClarko what do you do, and where do you train? :p

[TheMrClarko]

That looks very much like my dojo...

[toddymo]

Excellent technique, thanks for sharing.

[ExtraLuke]

@Oneflip2 yes please, i would like to see it! :)

[Oneflip2]

nice video, i like how the camera persepctive changes makes it mor dynamic :D

but in my opinion you do it too clipped? i dont know how to call it in english but i mean it has no flow but maybe its because your master teached it like this or this is your style but my master is the austrian national couch in poomsae and he is teaching it like its in the rules.

but anyways nice job and keep it up!!!

[geetboxkarate]

@Oneflip2 These poomsae's aren't meant to "flow" like you're describing. They are meant to do what I call the "3 C's" :Clean, Crisp and Concise. You're suppose to snap into each move quite like ExtraLuke does. These forms, even though they are quite beautiful and artistic, really are to prepare you for battle and if used as such will take your art to the next level. That's the true art is not only the beauty but also the practicality. :)

[Oneflip2]

@geetboxkarate but this is not like in the rules its a bit wrong but yea your are right with the beauty and so on but anyways nice video

[geetboxkarate]

@Oneflip2 The rules are for competition. That way everyone practices the same way and the judges can put their bid in fairly. There are no rules in real world conduct. You're not going to stop a fight and say, "Hold on, hold on, the rules state you have to do it this way.." You might win the fight, but that's because your attacker has died laughing. Each and every move of these forms were a collaborated effort to put down the most useful techniques so everyone can practice them before battle.

[geetboxkarate]

@Oneflip2 It was a case of "Do or die" not "Do or lose, and not get the trophy and blue ribbon"! They had much bigger things to worry about than the rules and the rule book. They had families and communities that depended on them to protect and provide so they can survive. So while I respect your rules, the only rules I see is, "What were they thinking when the created this?, Will this work?, and How bad do I have to screw up before it won't work?"

[ExtraLuke]

@Oneflip2 I think maybe you just practise a slightly different style? Because I have competed and won many times in nationals/internationals with these taegeuk. :)

[Oneflip2]

@ExtraLuke yes thats what i wanted to say and i was just wondering :)

and this geetboxKARATE guy is annoing...but i have a good i dea maybe i can post a video of my master doing the chil jang just togive you a idea of what i meant? :D

[geetboxkarate]

Man, I've watched this form a dozen times. By different people. I keep coming back to this one. It's such a beautiful form. Lots of awesome finishers in it. It's very interesting how the grandmasters of old came up with these patterns and how to use them effectively.

[ExtraLuke]

@geetboxkarate thank you!! :D

[ExtraLuke]

@geetboxkarate and yes, i agree.. i dont understand how they could come up with such timeless forms!

[geetboxkarate]

@ExtraLuke I dare not say I understand the grandmasters of old,,I don't even understand their names haha. But I think that they had plenty of battlefield time to develope them. Before 1890 we didn't have the basic forms like the taegueks and the taiyoku's, pinans, heinans, kicho's and palgwes. the pinan's were developed by Anko Itosu to teach school yard children to ready them for military service starting in about 1892 or 1893.

[geetboxkarate]

@ExtraLuke (part2) They should be about taeguek 5 and up for you. and palgwe sam jang for me. or Pinan Shodan dependent on what school I'm at haha. then the beginner level forms weren't developed until the 1940's I believe that is what I've read. So you would have started out in the upper echelon forms. Gichin Funikoshi said that his first 10 years were just practicing the Nihanchi or Napajin in Korean.

[ElisaKim9]

Hi!

My father is taekwondo teacher and I have seen a lot of competitions, and when I saw you I was like WOW, he does it really well, great job!

[thecristovar]

[thecristovar]

@ExtraLuke :D

[ormrnar]

nice work

[TheLeanicosofia]

..awesome.....good video

thank you for sharing..have a great weekend:)

[74koinz]

cool

[TheHannibal31]

a good kata

viel gluck aber ich liebe judo kata

[TheFlaFlip]

It looks very controlled. But is this the style of your club? My own trainer always says that we need to use our body, to get more speed and power in our techniques.

[madgtr1972]

ExtraLuke, Your Right Taekwondo is a Martial Art first and sport 2nd . That is a great attitude and outlook toward the martial art . Good luck in the Martial Spirit.

[ExtraLuke]

@madgtr1972 thank you. Glad we agree :P

[Greatbear1982]

Very well done! I really like the crisp powerful movements, and the projection of power is well executed.

[leomend92]

one word,beautiful! and thanks for sharing,your technique is awesome!

[morales076]

kata are very well

[MrBlomu]

Cool video!

[Mr7017Y]

good job

[immortalperser]

Thanks for sharing. Great work! We need more martial art videos on YT!

[ExtraLuke]

@immortalperser thanks! I agree, the more martial arts on YouTube the better :)

[geetboxkarate]

Spectacular technique.

[ExtraLuke]

@geetboxkarate thank you very much :)

[geetboxkarate]

@ExtraLuke You're welcome very much :)

[mrschanelgirl777]

Thank you for sharing with me! That was to cool! I used to do Shorin-ryu Karate...

[joroman007]

Thanks for sharing, nice performance. My first martial arts was ITF TKD, and while I do not practice the forms anymore the training was a solid start for my future studies (especially kicking techniques).

[ExtraLuke]

@joroman007 thanks man :)

[wmpyr]

TU! good job, really like the editing and nice camera angles!

[ExtraLuke]

@wmpyr thank you, i thought i'd try something a little different :)

[panther2552]

very nice work bro. always cool to see the aesthetic side of martial arts :)

[ExtraLuke]

@panther2552 thanks :)

[ooODAIMOoo]

thumps up from me ^^

[deneagle20]

All nice, but It is not effective against the traditional reception "Ressora on kamaza", or "Glushitel belarus"

[ExtraLuke]

@deneagle20 but, at least it's all nice! :P

[Hazamayakiba]

EXCELLENT !

[laila1991ful]

my heroooo , jus asking .. can u fight with someone n upload it

[ExtraLuke]

@laila1991ful yeah, i can :) and i will

[jam2music]

Thank you for sending ! Happy New Year! :)

[joe1969812]

Nice dancing, useless against a wrestler or Jiu jitsu player.

[ExtraLuke]

@joe1969812 I don't think this is designed to be used in a fight against anyone. I am performing this to try to display the artistic side of martial arts :)

[ExtraLuke]

@joe1969812 i am planning on uploading some more practical stuff in the future :)

[komentero]

fantastic... ABRAÇOS....KOMENTERO

[ChannelCroNew]

good video !

[ExtraLuke]

@ChannelCroNew thank you! :)

[delsliver]

Like it good technique :)

[DracoCaesar]

Very good technique. You're very good. I like your choice for the angles.

[ExtraLuke]

@DracoCaesar thank you! :D

[SuperFlower70]

Like it!

[anjoiron]

massa



[daveisoverproduced]

Very nice indeed. Good form- of course, you're a black belt! But nicely done and a good move on the perspectives. I like the idea of having several different angles.

[ExtraLuke]

@daveisoverproduced thank you. I thought it might add to it a bit :)

[slapmedia]

really enjoying your vids... gonna watch and like em' all...

[ExtraLuke]

@slapmedia thanks :D

[ndmmaa]

A well made video. I am a instructional DVD maker and producer. For suggestions:

. Add light music to lift the video on a feeling basis

. Film the next one in a more traditional location

. Look more passionate facely, maybe some close up

. Perhaps add a voice over explaining about the form

A very good and clearly empassioned clips

Shihan Nic Main

[ExtraLuke]

@ndmmaa Thank you :D i will remember this next time i make one! :)

[nrgman676]

its ok but dont mean crap if you dont know how to use it in a practical use.

and i dont mean the bs that taekwondo schools teach i mean the real use for the moves or as close as the old masters meant.

[ExtraLuke]

@nrgman676 I completely agree, but there is only one way for me to get to that stage. Just keep practicing it! :D

[MrSuperHappyFun]

Very nice! Although there is a lot of cross over between the two. Possible idea for your next fight scene? Keep up the good work!

[ExtraLuke]

@MrSuperHappyFun thanks, but i dont know what you mean by cross over between two points.

[MrSuperHappyFun]

Fantastic! Thank you. And thank you for all of the great content. Btw, just out of curiousity. Did you study ATA-Extreme? I'm curious as to the fusion of parkour & TKD (awesome combo btw!)

[ExtraLuke]

@MrSuperHappyFun Nope, they are just two things that i have come across. To be honest i am a 'Taekwondo'er who does a bit of parkour every now and then :P Taekwondo is my preference :)

[MrSuperHappyFun]

Thank you for this! Great form & I love learning the history & philosophy ( the Do) behind these. I am new to TKD & was wondering if you would consider doing a series of these from Il Jang on?

[ExtraLuke]

@MrSuperHappyFun I would definitely consider doing that, i just don't know how long it will take for me to put them up. But it is definitely something i can plan on doing! :D

[kxtone]

Really nice. Maybe you should explain why do all martial art keep doing these pattern of movements (kata). At each different level there is different style of kata. It may expand others mind of why do martial art keep doing kata. I think most of the time people just do it and don't understand why you have to practice it.

GREAT JOB!!! Keep up the nice work.

[ama9389]

awesome bro..maybe one can i can spar with you. just kidding :D

[ExtraLuke]

@ama9389 yeah we could if you wanted :) friendly spars are fun :P Best way to get to know someone is fight them :D

[ama9389]

@ExtraLuke haha! true that my friend! i used to learn TKD but i just attend like three classes :C that time my mentality is not totally focused on martial arts :D

[growpowerful]

Nice! beautiful kata

[ExtraLuke]

@growpowerful thank you! :D

[bobkane27]

[ExtraLuke]

@akyvernhtos thank you! :) i appreciate your comment!! :)

[bokutoone]

nice

[ExtraLuke]

@bokutoone thanks dude! :D

[SarahtheShir]

Hey! The poom was good. As far as filming goes, it does look funny when you "break the theater," that is, when you flip sides and from back to front. Google "180-degree rule" to see what I mean.

[ExtraLuke]

@SarahtheShir Thanks for pointing that out, i just searched it. Learned something new today :D

[SharonBlade]

interesting to watch



[ExtraLuke]

@SharonBlade im glad to hear it! :D

[MrMelvin27]

That was a really good kata/form...

[ParasolPat]

cool stuff man (Y)

[ExtraLuke]

@ParasolPat cheers mate!

[DTGtaihojutsu]

the form was performed very well nice and crisp and I like the cinematography . Thumbs up.

[ExtraLuke]

@DTGtaihojutsu Thank you :) it took a lot of takes :P and i tried to use some original angles :D

[TheLuamiliu]

very well executed :O I liked!

[ExtraLuke]

@TheLuamiliu Thanks a lot dude! appreciate it!! :)

[DragonWindProduction]

Ur Form is flawless and Perfect

[ExtraLuke]
