If you're interested in Taekwon-do and ITF TKD in particular you may be interested in our project. It's a new TKD instructional project that uses interactive 3D and HD video. It's headed up by First Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha - who was described by General Choi as "The best student ever of Taekwon-Do". Just click on our channel to see what it's about. Thanks!
In response to the comment about "old school" training not using sine wave, General Choi designed Taekwon-Do to be a continually evolving art "any undertaking that is perceived to have reach its objectives is likely to lose momentum, stagnate, and die" - General Choi. It is in the spirit of Taekwon-Do to embrace this change, and one of the more unique challenges of being an ITF student is to have to re-train muscle memory to conform to the subtle changes to techniques as it evolves.
@livelaughlovecosican theres a book called "Tae Kwondo Grappling Techniques, Hone your competitive edge" by Dr. Tony Kermery and Steve Snyder. It has a pretty good view on how patterns can be utilized. Might help you out
Militantblackguy ur dumb and know fuk all if u think tkd's like that y watch the videos u dumb fag, say we have no respect but here u r disrespecting us lol as i said before ur a dumb fag do the world a fav and kill ur self and please dont procreate theres enough dumb terry tough c*$nt like u out there get a life cause ur ignotants is offencive even know ur probably just a little boy whos dudnt get enough hugs from mummy and daddy was probably a abusive drunk or crack head.
I simply do not understand how nearly half the people making comments on this video are practicing taekwondo. Please try and be humble and show humility. It is not about belts, ranks, who is best etc. It is about dedicating yourself to improving in all aspects of your being. Thank you.
@kb2cool In taekwon-do with every move you must exhale in order to make the movement faster and stronger - that's why you hear this snapping sound while he's punching, kicking or blocking
i don't mean to argue on hear but one he does the form great yes if he may have a flaw but nobody is perfect sine wave is taught some places and is useful they teach it at my school but to come on hear and argue or say its stupid is disrespectful both to the man performing and to the ones trying to learn no offense but if you have a problem with the pattern or the guy doing it don't watch the vids and don't disrespect other martial arts argueing over it makes you miss whats good hear

Bravo! Powerful, clear, good fixations both on hand and kicks, and good radiation of fighting spirit in the form. All these said, despite my lack of understanding of Sine Wave, and the sound made in the mouth.
Unfortunately, the watch on his hand reduces the joy of watching his great performance.
sine wave is the essence of taekwondo ITF - it shows relaxing between the techniques. if you don't relax, your technique is just stiff and unnatural. and still, if you have lower degree than his, i don't think you supose to critisice the Vth Dan - well actually Jarosław Suska is now VIth dan (2010) ;) he was twice the world champion and 14 times the European champion in formal patterns.
@cosmicBrian21. The bounce is called sine-wave. My school doesn't use it, but it is still recognized as correct. This guys form is flawless. Personally I'd like to see him demo the forms without sine-wave, just to see his technique closer to my style.
PATTERN training is completely different from combat training. why is everyone making such a big deal out of the sin wave? it is a great way to express power, and CAN be used in a real fight. taekwon do isn't a style where you learn fighting through forms unlike karate or other various types of martial arts. it's not necessarily about fighting someone else, it's just patterns! so to all the karate practitioners (shotokan, koyamakan, isshinryu) we get it, you do things differently!

THANK YOU! TOMORROW I HAVE TAEKWONDO TEST! AND IT HELPED ME A LOT! THANKS!!!!! I REALLY OWE YOU A FAVOR! TELL ME IF U NEED ANYTIME!!! I'LL HELP FOR SURE!!!
@ParagonalForce In Do you mean exhale after each move ? if are talking about that its part of timing and breathing technique in patterns we do in Tae Kown-do , and in other moves .
Sin wave to emphasize power. We use it in our Patterns to practice one breth one body motion and one technique. The General intended the use of sin wave as a way to practice how techniques are to be used and performed. I fight MMA using ITF and BJJ and let me say sin wave practice helps. I have learned to generate more power and conserve energy this way. For those who dont understand maybe you should practice sine motion and apply it to sparring.
This is called a form for a reason...um, because you are working on your "form." If you watch ITF sparring they don't fight with slow sine wave. I don't know why people in the tae kwon do world don't understand this. This guys forms are always beautiful and powerful. People that do the forms like they are in a race look weak and sloppy, and from my experience they fight the same way.
I know what I'm talking bout, and I can tell you that authentic, old-school Tae Kwon Do doesn't bounce into the techniques (sine wave bullshit)..the old forms are done with WAY more power and focus than what is mistakenly presented here. It's a shame that this is what Tae Kwon Do has become in recent years. Poor, poor performance when measured against traditional Tae Kwon Do standards.
@Jedrulzu WTFomg!!!!!!!! big time!!!! man wtf can u know about "traditional" tkd do u even know who founded tkd ? Gen Choi Hong Hi. whach his seminars and the way he teached because He iNvEnTeD Tkd there was no before him. and he teached sine wave. and its not a bullshit because u use your body weight U are a shame
@Jedrulzu I agree with you on the sin wave. I do enjoy watching this guy, but my Master is old school, and her grand Master brought the training straight from Korea 40 some odd years ago. They didn't teach to bounce. I go to competitions all the time and place 1st in forms all the time, and I do not sin wave. And the judges who are "old school" always comment on my patterns, and can tell that I have "old school" training. Not that in which is being taught in most of these schools today.
@kfvillarreal0913 Well, gen. Choi himself applied sine wave to Taekwon-Do so, yeah... Besides Taekwon-Do is a modern martial art so it's constantly changing.
@Jedrulzu The general would be disappointed @ your comment, specially since you have no idea bout physics and the sine wave, which was THE GENERAL'S IDEA. So please learn before talking BS, otherwise go practice WTF.
May I ask a question? I don't know anything about Korean martial arts, so I'm interested, why is the form called Hwarang? I learned that the hwarang were a group of men in Silla. Does this form have any connection to them?
@GaolisVideoLog The pattern was named after the Hwa-Rang youth group that originated in the Silla dynasty (about 1500 years ago). This group became the driving force for the unification of the three kingdoms of Korea. There are 29 movements in this pattern, and the 29 moves represent the 29th infantry division where Tae Kwon Do developed into maturity
@dgpug I'm sorry. I have one more question. Seeing that there are other Taekwando videos in the side bar, I was just wondering whether or not all forms have a connection to Korean history. I'm sorry, to steal your time once more.
@GaolisVideoLog I no you posted a long time ago... but I thought I'd answer since it seems the other person hasn't gotten to it.
Yes, all forms/patterns in ITF TKD have a connection to Korean history. The number of movements, the movements themselves, and/or the diagram that one moves in on the floor always has a "story" behind it. :)
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz huh he what happened i think i fell asleep!
@mynamesolddgreggg 2 years ehh.....can anyone say "black belt factory" or McDojo? This is the reason why so many people don't respect most martial arts.....sorry man, not your fault, but your instructors fault for misleading you.
@urallabunchofidiots for all you know, my mum could have had cancer, and i had to look after her every day and could only go to tkd once every two weeks.
So don't judge before you have the right information. Not your fault (:
and i haven't done it because I can't learn the words cos im shit, my instructor is amazing. so screw you, in the nicest way possible (:
@mynamesolddgreggg No judgement...just a fact. If you are testing for BB with only 2 years of training....plain and simple, your instructor doesn't give a crap about abilities...only the paycheck. No one and I mean NO ONE is BB material after only 2 years of training.
These videos have been helping me to learn the patterns and whenever I forget something I just come back and look what I'm missing on my pattern. I teach Taekwon-Do to children and therefore I don't have that much time to go to all the classes that are for higher colourbelts. My 1gup test is coming next week and I wanna thank you for putting these videos in here :) Your techniques are awesome and very neat!!
For anyone who does Ch'ang-Hon (General Choi's) style of TKD. I recommend the '''TKD SOURCE''' website run by ITF-C (GM Choi). To find it just Google "TKD SOURCE'"
I realize how "unnecessary movement" could be construed with a negative connotation. Mostly I was commenting on the difference in systems while performing the same katas. The only thing I meant negatively was the apathy in his forms and the loose hands. While I'm not a fan of the sine wave I would hate to imply that it is entirely impractical. There are also probably reasons the association I studied under is gone? Politics? No one is perfect and "superior method" is overrated in martial arts.
Im learning this form right now! My instructor taught me half of it tonite and I forgot a move. Thanks for the vid! it helped alot! The hand grab is a bit hard for me,not the grab its self but the switching of feet positions..Ya know what I mean? Its around 0:21 Im not too gracefull but im getting there! :)
I studied Jidokwan Taekwondo for 8 years. The kata may be the same, but it is in this video I see the difference in the ITF TKD the WTF TKD and what I was taught through the now defunct IJF. There was no unnecessary movement (IE sine wave and loose hand movements between moves) everything was tight, intense, and stances were deep, sport karate was not encouraged, and practical application was taught. It's strange to see such a loose apathetic performance from a 5th DAN, even it is for teaching.

the sinusoid wave is perfectly applicable in real combat. Bruce Lee used to say about the difference between karate and wu shu that karate was an iron bar. Wu shu is a chain with an iron ball in one end. That is sinusoid wave.
This pattern is beatifully performed, and even more important, accurately. The "hissing" is very important, because: a) it levels the pressure in the toraxic cavity, protecting internal organs in case of counteratack, b) it hardens the abds, wich also helps to protect organs an muscles in case of counteratack, c) it acts like a coiling-uncoiling mechanism, increasing power, d) it helps regulating the effort, thus giving you more endurance, e) it can be transformed into a KIAI.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He's good... I just wish he wouldn't make such irritating hissing noises. They're not part of the pattern... if he was old and doing it fast I could understand that he'd need to to breathe, but here it just sounds stupid.
sounds stupid but helps generate power, which is what he is demonstrating. Since making you moves powerful is the aim of doing the patterns I somewhat feel it is part of the pattern
Very good video , you have to appreciate people who conrtibute to the art, regardless of your association. People who make negative statments i encourage you to do better in front of a crowd, and showcase your talent on youtube. R.J.H
Doing a pattern slowly doesn't show how rubbish one is! Slowness is used to demonstrate the skills and the techniques involved, and besides, if this guy is a 5th dan, I'm sure he knows what he is doing ;)
That's why palley...you don't understand power. It's called the sine wave and it generates tremendous power. Look, I trained with Renzo Gracie, I did american boxing, Muay Thai, Kyokushin and others over 18 years. Learn something before you sound like you don't know what you're talking about.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
in my opinion that pattern is far too slow.
did GTI tkd for 7 years and won the national pattern comp when i was a red belt doing this pattern and i feel it should be a lot more fluid. complete the moves obviously but for me there is too much of a pause in between moves
different people have different techniques, as do different masters. some people do their patterns like him, and some people do it more fluidly. both are correct.
I understand what the purpose of the sine wave is in respect to generating power. But do you think that someone would really have the time to do a full sine wave movement on the street? I don't think one would have the opportunity to bounce like that in a street fight. In Shotokan karate, we use things like hip rotation and vibration to generate power. Do they telegraph? Yes, but not as much as a bounce does. My opinion only.
Its important to know the difference between patterntraining, and selfdefence-training. ITF Taekwon-Do dos not train selfdefence with bouncing :)!! The sinewave is only used in pattern, for display. In selfdefence we train with speed, reaction, hip, and more to genereate the most efficiant eldefence. Google ITF Taekwon-Do and selfdefence and you will see :) Happy New year!!
In a self defence situation, a swift hard punch in the face will do. If it does not knock him out, it will surely buy you enough time to get away. It is in a way sad that the easiest way is the most effecient.
And do YOU think that anyone would even think about using this moves on the street ? It's only used for training purposes. Fights are Completely diffrent part of Taekwondo training.
kiking in front is side turning kick, turning kicks are done to side front. x pressing block is done at height of umbilicus, checking block is done at solar plexus height.
Some techniques (blocks and strikes) look very similar those in karate. The whole sequence makes me think of the Heian Shodan kata, especially the last 2 techniques (shuto uke?)
tae kwon do is a mixture of chineese kickboxing and karate but a bit more diffrent coz we use body science so its a bit diffrent like the bounceing and hand techniques to make more power into the hits but im a fan in all martial arts but i do tae kwon do maself
The guy who brought TKD together spent a lot of time studying Karate. We don't have Karate at my uni so a lot of people come to TKD and enjoy it just as much. Its very similar :)
First of all the "bouncing" is called sine wave, its what you do in Taekwon-Do, which gives you more power. 45 degree punches... ya no, L-stance obverse punch actually. There is no brown belt in ITF Taekwon-Do so i have no idea where you got that from. This pattern was preformed extremely crisply with loads of power.... you really shouldnt comment if you dont know what your talking about.
There actually isnt that much power in his patterns. He is demonstrating the tournament style of ITF tkd, which soon will be replaced with power and actual technical ability. GM Choi (ITF-C) is actually getting the referees new training to pick power and technique over looks.
The biggest tell is his hips are already turned before certain moves are executed and the attacks are mostly hand movements instead of whole body movements.
@nagromgreen The only way bouncing creates more power is if you don't know how to use your hips.....otherwise it is a waste of time and force literally. Basic Newtonian Mechanics calculations will prove this. I personally don't like the sine wave forms but this guy is amazing.....very talented martial artist.

Sin wave to emphasize power. We use it in our Patterns to practice one breth one body motion and one technique. The General intended the use of sin wave as a way to practice how techniques are to be used and performed. I fight MMA using ITF and BJJ and let me say sin wave practice helps. I have learned to generate more power and conserve energy this way. For those who dont understand maybe you should practice sine motion and apply it to sparring.
svlondon 1 year ago
This is called a form for a reason...um, because you are working on your "form." If you watch ITF sparring they don't fight with slow sine wave. I don't know why people in the tae kwon do world don't understand this. This guys forms are always beautiful and powerful. People that do the forms like they are in a race look weak and sloppy, and from my experience they fight the same way.

I know what I'm talking bout, and I can tell you that authentic, old-school Tae Kwon Do doesn't bounce into the techniques (sine wave bullshit)..the old forms are done with WAY more power and focus than what is mistakenly presented here. It's a shame that this is what Tae Kwon Do has become in recent years. Poor, poor performance when measured against traditional Tae Kwon Do standards.

@Jedrulzu WTFomg!!!!!!!! big time!!!! man wtf can u know about "traditional" tkd do u even know who founded tkd ? Gen Choi Hong Hi. whach his seminars and the way he teached because He iNvEnTeD Tkd there was no before him. and he teached sine wave. and its not a bullshit because u use your body weight U are a shame
irliving 1 year ago
@Jedrulzu I agree with you on the sin wave. I do enjoy watching this guy, but my Master is old school, and her grand Master brought the training straight from Korea 40 some odd years ago. They didn't teach to bounce. I go to competitions all the time and place 1st in forms all the time, and I do not sin wave. And the judges who are "old school" always comment on my patterns, and can tell that I have "old school" training. Not that in which is being taught in most of these schools today.

May I ask a question? I don't know anything about Korean martial arts, so I'm interested, why is the form called Hwarang? I learned that the hwarang were a group of men in Silla. Does this form have any connection to them?
GaolisVideoLog 1 year ago
@GaolisVideoLog The pattern was named after the Hwa-Rang youth group that originated in the Silla dynasty (about 1500 years ago). This group became the driving force for the unification of the three kingdoms of Korea. There are 29 movements in this pattern, and the 29 moves represent the 29th infantry division where Tae Kwon Do developed into maturity

@dgpug I'm sorry. I have one more question. Seeing that there are other Taekwando videos in the side bar, I was just wondering whether or not all forms have a connection to Korean history. I'm sorry, to steal your time once more.

@GaolisVideoLog I no you posted a long time ago... but I thought I'd answer since it seems the other person hasn't gotten to it.
Yes, all forms/patterns in ITF TKD have a connection to Korean history. The number of movements, the movements themselves, and/or the diagram that one moves in on the floor always has a "story" behind it. :)

I realize how "unnecessary movement" could be construed with a negative connotation. Mostly I was commenting on the difference in systems while performing the same katas. The only thing I meant negatively was the apathy in his forms and the loose hands. While I'm not a fan of the sine wave I would hate to imply that it is entirely impractical. There are also probably reasons the association I studied under is gone? Politics? No one is perfect and "superior method" is overrated in martial arts.

I studied Jidokwan Taekwondo for 8 years. The kata may be the same, but it is in this video I see the difference in the ITF TKD the WTF TKD and what I was taught through the now defunct IJF. There was no unnecessary movement (IE sine wave and loose hand movements between moves) everything was tight, intense, and stances were deep, sport karate was not encouraged, and practical application was taught. It's strange to see such a loose apathetic performance from a 5th DAN, even it is for teaching.

the sinusoid wave is perfectly applicable in real combat. Bruce Lee used to say about the difference between karate and wu shu that karate was an iron bar. Wu shu is a chain with an iron ball in one end. That is sinusoid wave.

This pattern is beatifully performed, and even more important, accurately. The "hissing" is very important, because: a) it levels the pressure in the toraxic cavity, protecting internal organs in case of counteratack, b) it hardens the abds, wich also helps to protect organs an muscles in case of counteratack, c) it acts like a coiling-uncoiling mechanism, increasing power, d) it helps regulating the effort, thus giving you more endurance, e) it can be transformed into a KIAI.

He's good... I just wish he wouldn't make such irritating hissing noises. They're not part of the pattern... if he was old and doing it fast I could understand that he'd need to to breathe, but here it just sounds stupid.

sounds stupid but helps generate power, which is what he is demonstrating. Since making you moves powerful is the aim of doing the patterns I somewhat feel it is part of the pattern

That's why palley...you don't understand power. It's called the sine wave and it generates tremendous power. Look, I trained with Renzo Gracie, I did american boxing, Muay Thai, Kyokushin and others over 18 years. Learn something before you sound like you don't know what you're talking about.

did GTI tkd for 7 years and won the national pattern comp when i was a red belt doing this pattern and i feel it should be a lot more fluid. complete the moves obviously but for me there is too much of a pause in between moves

I understand what the purpose of the sine wave is in respect to generating power. But do you think that someone would really have the time to do a full sine wave movement on the street? I don't think one would have the opportunity to bounce like that in a street fight. In Shotokan karate, we use things like hip rotation and vibration to generate power. Do they telegraph? Yes, but not as much as a bounce does. My opinion only.
knb416 2 years ago
Thanks for commenting :)
Its important to know the difference between patterntraining, and selfdefence-training. ITF Taekwon-Do dos not train selfdefence with bouncing :)!! The sinewave is only used in pattern, for display. In selfdefence we train with speed, reaction, hip, and more to genereate the most efficiant eldefence. Google ITF Taekwon-Do and selfdefence and you will see :) Happy New year!!

In a self defence situation, a swift hard punch in the face will do. If it does not knock him out, it will surely buy you enough time to get away. It is in a way sad that the easiest way is the most effecient.

First of all the "bouncing" is called sine wave, its what you do in Taekwon-Do, which gives you more power. 45 degree punches... ya no, L-stance obverse punch actually. There is no brown belt in ITF Taekwon-Do so i have no idea where you got that from. This pattern was preformed extremely crisply with loads of power.... you really shouldnt comment if you dont know what your talking about.

@nagromgreen
There actually isnt that much power in his patterns. He is demonstrating the tournament style of ITF tkd, which soon will be replaced with power and actual technical ability. GM Choi (ITF-C) is actually getting the referees new training to pick power and technique over looks.
The biggest tell is his hips are already turned before certain moves are executed and the attacks are mostly hand movements instead of whole body movements.
Put simply very very neat but not very powerful.
Fingyfin 1 year ago
@nagromgreen The only way bouncing creates more power is if you don't know how to use your hips.....otherwise it is a waste of time and force literally. Basic Newtonian Mechanics calculations will prove this. I personally don't like the sine wave forms but this guy is amazing.....very talented martial artist.
