Aren't instructional videos a breach of the copyright act? Considering that these forms are copyrighted by headquarters and they sell instructional dvd's? Flagged for copyrighted content.
Look, just because a martial art became an olympic sport does not detract from the fact that it is still a martial art. Almost all styles of combat have some kind of competition. It's how we martial artists test ourselves and push our own limits. As far as time in rank is concerned, it is fairly irrelevant. What does matter is if the person has improved when compared to themselves prior. Finally, i would gladly do one long black belt form rather than a bunch of short ones. I've tried both.
Other arts (real arts) it take years to advance from the different black belts and they learn multiple forms and technigues that also includes teaching. There's a reason no one takes your art seriously, ATA is the definition of McDojo. Tae kwon do is a sport not a martial art. Hence, why it's in the olympics and karate and kung fu aren't
@slclys Says the idiot sitting behind his computer, if this martial art is so much worse than others, prove it. Last time I checked your the one who's criticizing what you can't do, once you PROVE that you can actually do something even remotely unprofessional in something martial art based, then I'll semi-believe you.
ATA martial art technique is terrible there good at the XMA. So basically the stuff you would neve use in a fight. There basic forms are crap. Their black belts are equal to a blue belt from United Studios. In every other art it take years to advance to 2nd, 3rd and 4th degrees black belt. ATA only requires one form per black belt which is retarded. Every art requires multiple forms per black belt rank and will take years to change ranks. Pay your bill and get a black belt. An insult!
@slclys Dude. It takes one year to advance from first degree to second degree black belt. Two years for second to third. Three years and you must teach students for third to fourth. Four more years and you must teach a certain amount of students to advance from fourth to fifth, and so on. Furthermore, not all Taekwondo instructors will allow you to be soft. In all competitions I went to, the other competitors were machines even at young ages.
@slclys And you need to know all the previous forms from white to black to test for black belt. I've never tested for third degree black belt, so I don't know if you need to know both first and second degree black belt forms, but I would expect it to be so.
@slclys - Quite obviously a post from someone who is ignorant about Songahm Taekwondo and is simply parroting garbage they have heard other ignorant people say.
Come on Mr. Box make em earn it the rank at least like we had to do. That technique would never have earned a black belt back when one meant something.
OMG What in the world has the style come to? Highblock hand is straight not bent as hers is. Front kick is delivered to the front (thus the reason for the name) slow this one down and you will see your front kick is way off to the side. When punching the shoulders are squared off not extended forward as yours are. Punches to the face? Who's face the punch is way above your head. Man what are they doing to the style of TKD now days? This is why TKD has such a bad rap.
I'm a 42 year old white belt. Thanks, as my memory is not what it used to be. I also have a 9 year old purple belt with autism, working on songham 4. This is very helpful for me.
I agree with faysies957. A really nice job with this video. i joined ATA 5 days before a tournament and with only 2 classes and practiced at home with this video to learn my form. i ended up getting first out of 6.
I am very impressed with the songahm training tutorials. Despite the fact her speed and power appear weak, according to another comment I read? IT IT A TUTORIAL= learning segment. If she did the poomsae at regular speed, I am confident she has great stamina and power. At slower pace it helps students learn each chamber, which is vital, and step in the form.
Anyone who slams an organization for the sake of aggrandizing their own organization is a joke. Martial artists get out of their programs what they put into them. I would never come to ITF or OSU and slam those organizations. Be respectful, please.
Her punches are weak..and let me tell you why...no holster from transitions...my white belt student showed me this clip...its sad...and Traditional karate for life, osu!!
Do you happen to have a video for the ATA orange belt forms. If you do can you please post. Also, if the video can show the entire body and not just upper body so we can see the footwork involved in the form.
Mr. Box, Keep making more. Also put the completed form with no interruptions at the end. You should turn off the comments because most of the people that commented probably don't do martial arts anymore and want to feel special. For example, the person that said teaching kids self defense was bad. That's just wrong. Seriously makes me wonder if this person abducts kids and doesn't want them to have a fighting chance at survival.
The person below did not say teaching kids self defense was bad...he said that this styles of "self defense" sucks and it can cause them danger...Osu!!
This is the first form of martial arts i ever studied...I did it for about 2 years age 7-9.....I can remember it ... had a realy bad experience ..it almost put me off martail arts completly... at the time i thought i was karate.... but luckily i found the true art of taekwondo... I.T.F to the world.....
Hello, Mr. Box! I find your video very interesting as I too trained in the ATA at one time, and I'd like to make you think a little bit. Do you ever wonder why you perform your movements a certain way? For example in the inner forearm block, how do you generate force? The Way of Songham Taekwondo book for 1st Degree Black Belt might help you if it stumps you, and I hope it makes your Taekwondo even better. :)
Dude, let's not bash the ATA. The ATA is a great organization for people, especially young children, who would like to be involved in martial arts. Even if it is not for you, it is great for others.
No, I like Songham TKD, and I know that ATA was once a good organization before the death of its founder. I won't bash ATA. However, I'm not going to agree that it is good for children, as the ideas about self defense they are putting into their heads is more dangerous than good.
Thank you so much for posting this! This tutorial has really helped me master the techniques my teacher is teaching me! Please post more for other belts..I would love to use them as I master each belt!
I'm just starting, and the way you break down each move is very helpful. The only problem is even with my volume all the way up, I can barely hear your commentary.
I hope you continue to make more instructional videos, but hope you adjust the volume up so it is easier to hear what you're saying - Thanks!
hi Mr. box i was wondering if you could make videos on teaching one steps and or sparring segments am currently studying 4 my black red black collar and i would greatly appreciate this. my name is Mr.Abreu thank you.
WOW, I remember that form! Chris Box, It`s Cory H. I`m in Japan at the moment teaching english and studying Japanese and Iaido. I typed in white belt looking for a video of my band and the first thing that comes up is something that says ATA and I see "Mr. Box" in the description. Dude you are famous even on youtube Japan.!
I wish she would have done it facing the opposite way of the camera. Her moves aren't backwards which may confuse kids
