This was when Ernie Reyes Jr was a child growing up, this was a disgrace. I have nothing but love for everyone but I don't want to see people judging Tang Soo Do off of this video.
You just made this school look REALLY bad, video taping this... you shouldn't go passed white belt or 1st kup if you can't do a single proper push-up. I didn't see a single proper push-up... My father learned Song-Moo-Kwan and Moo-Duk-Kwan in Chang Mai Thailand in the Vietnam war and has taught for over 30 yrs, my mother and father are both well known, my sister fought Ernie Reyes Jr and my parents were two of the judges, mother is ranked in back of Black Belt Magazine for 3 #1 and top 10 10 yrs
Regarding the above comment, it's incredibly offensive to imply that girls can't do push ups just as well as boys. Any of the kids you train are equally capable. Please consider how shockingly sexist your opinion of your female students is and consider amending your thinking for the future.
@mttemple i did tang soo do as a youngster, i am female. I was generally able to do the same amount of pushups as the males, but we werent asked to do them like this. i was a strong black belt when i made it, but i had to push myself. being a female in the martial arts world i see many women not try as hard as guys. I joined the military and had not option of resting, lol. Now i do Kung fu as an adult, and see the same thing. YOUNG women sometimes (not always) dont try as hard or ARE unable.
the Maputo under 14's do this somewhat better... but I guess it's something to do with the punishment regime we got... remember the time i forgot my gi... 300 pushups... funnily enough it took most of the lesson....
The students reflect the teacher (kind of).... mark Master Hill's pushups compared to the lead instructor's cadence... in fact, for the first round, he has a red belt making him look BAD. (Red belt doesn't go full range of motion, but stays in cadence the whole set - 20 reps.) See for yourself...
@Drewz3r0 Understand that no one in there (with the obvious exception of myself and the other master) is over the age of 14. Many of whom were girls.
The expectation for them to do 40 pushups correctly, with pauses, while staying in the front leaning rest...In BETWEEN sets of 20, with no rest, is a little high. Wouldn't you say?
But I do appreciate your comment and it is duly noted.
@Drewz3r0 lol ive been in 4 different types of martial arts...push ups not really that importent..at the most we do 20 but on average only 10.this isnt the gym.And this comment isnt meant to be mean im just stating something.

In karate, its important to do good pushups. These were sloppy ones, but you tried. Try doing them on your knuckles so you could have a hard punch.
