  • Gotta say I love using these videos for referece-- despite our federation not using sine-wave, it is technically correct and as close to perfect form as I can find on youtube.... I just learned the second half of the pattern in a class today and not 2 hours later, I had forgotten a couple moves.... oy vey, a very confusing pattern! For the haters... chill,,, not every single iota has to match what you learned... doesnt make his or yours more or less correct :) taekwon!

  • @ RDraGon2179 Turning kcik is done at a 45 degree angle to utilise ap kumchi (front sole) most effectively. Baldung (instep) is used when performing a front turing kick (i.e. 'round' kick to a target straight in front). If you try this kick using ap kumchi both straight and at an angle for yourself you will see that more power can be produced at 45 degrees and it reaches the target sooner. Baldung / front turning kick can be used where less power is needed e.g. the face. Hope this helps

  • Question: Why do ITF do the round kicks to an angle. And dont say because its right or its in the ITF encyopedia. I like a good define answer.

  • too much bobbing up and down.. Way too much..

  • @grabir01 Its call a sine wave, hes meant to bob up and down.

  • WOOHHHH there is so many different transitions in this pattern :P gonna be fun learning this

  • Im going for my 2nd degree in june and i still cant do this pattern

  • What happened to the twist kick? eeeesh!

  • your amazing

  • Why he does the upper defense crossing from the outer side and sometime from inner side?

  • Wonderful pattern, probably my favourite. Learned this as a 5th Kup because I loved how it looked!

  • Awesome technique

  • this isn't me trying to criticise before anyone gets angry, but doesn't it seem like he lands his feet and hand techniques slightly out of time. you can really hear this in the W shaped blocks and stamping motion techniques.

    also, people who are making tiny technical criticisms shoudl be aware that this vid is 4 years old so was probably technically correct at the time but has since changed

  • @fjgroom err well what would you call in time because it looks fine to me.

  • ok there is no chance of me remembering this pattern

  • It actually quite saddens me to see this argument. I'm going for my second dan in October and I've been doing Taekwon-do for seven years from the age of 10. Clearly I am young and nothing on the ladder of Black belt Dans but why can't people appreciate this lovely pattern without arguing? Everybody has their own interpretation and anyone can get a move wrong or whatever but I don't think anybody should be correcting others under Gen. Choi's name, G.M. Toundrow's or anyone elses for that matter.

  • I love this form so much!!

  • im just a green tip

    what belt is that pattern

  • @TheSkids01

    the third pattern for for the II Dan exam

  • im just a green tip

  • cant wait to start this pattern

  • monkeypissyellow...you are talking about circular block what belt are you???dont piss off here and shut up your f***king mouth...or in going to get you..

  • Movement 21....isn't that supposed to by a side kick then hopping side kick? It looked like a roundhouse

  • I have the highest respect for J. Suska, and personally value courtesy and self-control as important tenets.

    C Martin, 1st Degree, UK

  • Ge-Baek岩岩學完

    仲差兩套-_-

  • @ttaggart12345 Surely anybody's opinion is equally valid. Also, your language is atrocious for a third degree black belt. I may only be a first but it seems I show a lot more courtesy towards others than you. I offer the suggestion that you may want to work on this if you wish to be respected by students.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheTaekwondoro shut ur ass,cuz thats where your talking from,this is proper in ITF and in Chang hon tkd u must have not been tought correctly as only a retard would dare say say that to this man. hes known by alot of people in tkd and has won many many tournements. so go crawl back into the sewers you worthless asshole

  • @TheTaekwondoro Methinks you need to relearn and meditate on the tenets.

  • This guy is one of the best i have seen,i dont use sine wave but give credit where it is due the control on both hand and foot techniques is superb!!!!!!

  • Yeah lads, the fella is world champion for patterns, beat my coach in worlds and europeans, think he knows what he's doing.

  • UNLESS YOU ARE HIGHER THAN A 5TH DEGREE BLACKBELT, THEN STOP OFFERING FUCKING CORRECTIONS ON HIS TECHNIQUES!!!!! IM A THIRD DEGREE AND I AM SHUTTING MY MOUTH

  • he needs to snap his twisting kick out to the side more or else its an upward checking kick

  • This form is nice however you do it!!!!!

  • All power does not come from wave it comes from technique. There is nothing wrong with sin wave but to think it is the only way is narrow minded.

  • ur not suppose to keep ur mouth open who was dumb enought to tell u that. n as for ur form it was good but y u bounce so much and ur kicks r to be in front of u n to the side as if u were fighting someone

  • @Tony81489 Traditional turning kicks are supposed to be to a 45 degree angle, this is technical stuff. This is chang hon style ITF taekwon-do, with sine-wave. You can see that all of his movements are perfectly tuned. His rhythem is excellent. If you don''t do proper ITF then keep your opinion to yourself.

    Do I go onto a wingchun video and say "oh yeah, but you should twist your fist instead of keeping it like you are holding a cup!". NO I don not.

  • Hi

    I'm struggling to get back to my starting spot on this pattern, or is it meant to finish 3 foot in front? Any tips?

  • @templestowe06 I had the same problem. Try jumping higher and further on your jumping side-kick. Also, maybe your stances are not constant, try to make the same stances for each movement.(sorry if my english is not that good, i'm french.) Hope it helps :)

  • actually i think i was wrong ! awesome ! thanks !

  • Awesome form ! remember that the last leg that you move its the leg that you go to ready position when you finish the form other than that , amazing performence !

  • @frmartinez87 That is only in the color belt forms. The same rule doesn't apply in the Black Belt forms.

  • I was breathing through my teeth to make that type of sine-wave noise and my grandmaster Kwan Jang Nym Mark Giambi (student of Young Bo Kong, Young Il Kong and General Choi Hong Hi) told me that this isn't some matrix Kung Fu class, it is Taekwondo and we are to breathe with my mouth completely open.

  • Fantastic technique. Very crisp. I'm finding this the most difficult of the 3 1st dan patterns but Suska makes it look easy.

  • tkd rules, just got my black belt, still tryin to learn ga baek

  • @QWERTskwirt its ok, im a black belt but i left for judo i only did tkd ifor skl for self defence tkd

  • Absolutely beautiful! As good as anything I've ever seen, including the DPR Demonstration Team.

  • Mr Suska is a great exponent of TKD. I had the chance to meet him many years ago and he is a very dedicated martial artist. He is also one of the best at performing traditional TKD in the sine wave style. I would love to get him at one of our PUMA tournaments to demonstrate his ability.

  • is this the last pattern?

  • @lilspark3000 it varrys from school to school what there belt patterns are i remeber doing this near my red belt

  • @NedNarsk It is a first degree Black Belt pattern, the 3rd of three required to test for 2nd degree. It is the 12th of the 24 ITF patterns.

  • the form looks great, i find it amusing that students from other federations say it looks horrible? how would you know considering you do not do ITF tae kwon do. i have been training in ITF TKD for many yrs and was taught from Master Hyo Son Yu 8th Don and he was taught from General Choi in Seoul South Korea no tae kwon do is necessarily the right way but one is the origanal way which would ITF every student has their preference and mine is to learn the original way and creation of tkd.

  • Comment removed

  • i really did not like this at all. then again im in P.U.M.A. the proper way of doing Tae Kwon Do

  • @babyhui1 anybody who claims there way is the right way, is arrogant and ignorant. There is no right way. Technically speaking itf is the original style of taekwon-do, as the general choi began it. look it up, your organization is perfectly entitled to its interpretation, as is any other, but represent your organization well, not like this.

  • @babyhui1 Oh dear.....

  • @babyhui1 , mrrightnow9 is right thats a bit arrogant, im sure master gayle (the head of your association) doesnt see puma`s way as the only right way, im in A.P.T.I which has close links to puma as our master ian ferguson is a good friend of master gayle (and is being presented with 7th dan at your awards night shortley), all I.T.F follow the chang-hon patterns as laid out by gen choi, research it a little and you might understand

  • @babyhui1 There is no right or wrong. Also you have to give respect to those who are living and breathing their art in the correct way.

  • @babyhui1 - Wow. I guess PUMA doesn't stress courtesy or respect much in its training. Or are you simply an exception?

  • The man who is graduating me has IIIIII Dan =)

  • I quite like how everyone starts claiming to have been the direct student of General Choi. Anyways, on a different note, why argue? It's a video. Keyboard warriors really get on my nerves!

  • not too sure about the way he does that double arc hand block. not to keen on the background music either lol.

  • I've just seen Gordon Slater and also his son, and i think, that if i's ITF TKD, they are pour Pattern-makers. In my opinion, they are weak, but it;'s only my private opinion :) And also i think i would win with them on the tournament only if i could get a chance^^

  • well, Gordon is recognised as one of the best pattern practicioners in the UK and has won many, many trophies.

    bear in mind his son is only 15 in the clips you've seen

  • @wiggsy4

    It may be, but i thing that the way that he do Ge-Baek is a lot worst that Suska's. But it's only my opinion. I don't took from Gordon, his skills or something, but i just don't like that way of doing patterns.. ;)

  • search for gordon slater (my old instructor) for a different perspective on pattern technique

    from that video there's also a link to his teenage son doing this pattern.

    very different in style

  • @wiggsy4. I appreciate there are different styles of TKD, but Ge Baek is an ITF Tul. I do not think it is a WTF Poomse; and as such, my belief is that it should be performed in the ITF style. Gordon Slater is a more experienced, more athletic martial artist than me.

    But, and this is a big 'but'; the movements in that pattern are not performed in the way instructed in the TKD encyclopedia.

    Evolution of technique does exists; but the scientific ingredients behind every movement do not change.

  • GTI is an ITF style and as i've mentioned Gordon won tons of trophies (as did i under his tutilidge, before retirement through injury).

    however, these patterns are all interpretive and everyone has a different view on how they should be completed.

    i'm just gutted that i can't do it anymore

  • Of course it is wrong to see something different to how you train and immediately dismiss it as garbage.

    My school trains under Master Harkess VIII, sticking precisely to the encyclopedia.

    Its the little differences, such as sine wave, backward motion; which we perform in patterns (as demonstrated in this video, but not in Mr Slater's), creating muscle-memory; so the moves in sparring at full speed have all those ingredients instinctively.

    I understand this to be the traditional ITF way.

  • However, I think it is very wrong to be insulting and inflamitory to people who perform alternative styles which they do not understand.

    I am an ITF black belt, but I recently went to train with a WTF school to help me understand the differences.

    Our styles are very different, but I coud not have been made more welcome.

    I understand now more about what they do and why.

    We need to see differences and try and learn from them, not see differences and immediately criticise.

  • have i been insulting? tha thas not been my intention if i have come across in such a manner.

  • @wiggsy4, quite the contrary!

    Although I am from a very traditional ITF school, I was trying to defend you, and so my comments were for the wider audience (apologies if they did not come across as such!)

    There is so much sniping and petty argument EVERY time someone like yourself says anything which someone disagrees with.

    We are all martial artists. There should be more mutual respect. Understand differences rather than say different=wrong.

    Different just means different.

    Steve.

  • @189Steve

    didn't think i'd said anything :o)

    completely agree, different people will take different strengths and weaknesses.

    if everyone agreed on everything it would be very dull

  • was he no sacked for being a beast or something?

    touching up his students

  • i love how there's so many experts out there. ok great masters why don't you all post your own videos and show us how its done?

  • alright, but his arm go everywhere when doing the backfists after the scooping blocks, and he should foot shift before the second turning kick. Apart from that, not bad.

  • The backfist SHOULD make this movement before being brought into place and the foot should shift IN TIME with the second turning kick and not before. This pattern is spot on according to Gen. Choi (Suska was a favorite of his).

    I love the quote "Apart from that, not bad"

    You are either

    a) incredibly arrogant

    b) the worlds greatest ever practitioner of TKD. or

    c) and the most likely explanation; you practice a bastardised version of ITF TKD.

    But what do I know? I'm only a VI Degree in the ITF

  • And i forgot to say that his Double arc hand is supposed to come from one side of your hips, not from the opposite side, and it's a jumping side kick after the first turning kick, not a flying side kick as shown in the video.

    I don't practice a fucked up version of ITF, i practice the right one.

    btw, you want to argue? argue with Brian Towndrow, a 7th Degree black belt and the area coordinator for the North Midlands.

  • Er no they are not! He performs a jumping side kick not a flying side kick (both feet leave the ground at the same time; therefore a jumping technique) Both Suska and my self have trained extensively with General Choi yet you have the audacity to pull Brian Towndrow out of your arse, a TAGB muppet who's only party trick is breaking blocks.

    My god you are arrogant! and clearly know NOTHING whatsoever about Taekwon-Do (I bet you spell it Tae Kwon-Do).

    You have shown yourself to be a proper tool!

  • If you really were as high a rank as you say you are, you would know that a jumping technique is executed on the landing whilst a flying technique is executed in mid-air.

    And Brian Towndrow's only "party trick"? I'm sure he's got one more...

    Oh yeah, he's one degree higher than you.

  • You are so incorrect. My instructor was Gen. Choi, whilst yours is Brian Towndrow, a guy (in fact the TAGB as a whole) who's techniques are so out of date (circa 1983). Taekwon-Do has moved on since 83 numb nuts.

    I have 7th kups with more technical knowledge than you. I'm done talking to you. I've forgotten more about Taekwon-Do than you will ever learn.

  • Yeah, clearly you have. Maybe you'd better revise before you make yourself look stupid infront of people that respect you, rather than just a guy on Youtube.

  • May I recommend a book to you; The Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, written by someone you probably have never heard of, a man by the name of General Choi Hong Hi. He knew a fair bit about Taekwon-Do. Not as much as you or Brian Towndrow of course.

    Perhaps you could amend my (signed) copy, highlighting all the mistakes made by this Choi fellow.

    It would seem along with training under this Choi fellow for five years and these bloody books, I've got it all wrong!

  • LMFAO!!!!!

  • no offense to u, but u trained for only five years? that literally means nothing in the world of TKD, if you understood the art, you would realize it takes MUCH more time than that. Just because you have a signed copy of a book and u were with him (as you say you were) for five years, that doesnt mean anything.

  • I trained with Gen. Choi for five years. I started training in 1985. Probably longer than you have been breathing air.

  • @memuver longer than i have been breathing? haha thats funny. like i said, 5 years doesnt mean shit. infact doesnt really matter how long you have trained. its all bout inside inside and humility. Of course the way you make it seem, is that because you have books and trained with Choi (again as you say) that that means something. personally you seem to be acting like an arrogant asshole. Choi supported humility and avoiding conflict, so it seems you are disappointing him doesnt it?

  • I've read your posts and what an arrogant little piss ant you are! This performance of Ge-Baek is spot on. Where in god's name did you learn your version of Ge-Baek???? I too am in the ITF and I can tell you this: This is how the FOUNDER of Taekwon-Do said Ge-Baek should be performed. Who the fuck are you to disagree with General Choi!!! I've never even heard of brian towndrow, which tells me all I need to know about him and you. Suska is world famous in tkd you little scrote. What a tool!!

  • anger issues much? haha altho this performance of Ge Baek is better than a lot of others, it is far from spot on. I am in ITF as well, but the part where he looks like his knee almost gives out, ive never seen that before. also our circular blocks are much more in depth and fluid. also some of his foot work position is readjusted AFTER he has begun the hand movement. so...

    good - yeah

    on spot - not really.

    not really trying to argue, just stating what i saw.

    & who is brain towndrow?

  • No circular blocks in Ge-Baek. do you mean movements 9 & 29 scooping blocks? if so then he performs them just fine. why the need to go deeper in sitting stance?

    Suska has won more ITF pattern world championships than anyone before him, making him the most successful patterns competitors ever. I haven't seen better than Suska, according to Gen Choi neither had he.

    never heard of brian towndrow until this thread.

  • well said. that guy is an ignorant tool who just wants get some attention :)

    Suska is an amazing martial artist,I've rarely seen anyone with such technique in any martial art.

  • @monkeypissyellow yeah, ONE of the founders,, not THE founder ;)

  • Wasn't the encyclopaedia you're referring to written around then (1983)? Read 'A Killing Art' for an objective look at TKD history and some reasons for TKD's evolution since.

  • A lot of the "objective" material out there on TKD are written by last samurai wannabe whapanese and the like. There is no objective material on TKD history other than personal accounts of those who were actually around during its formalization in the 50's.

  • his transitions arent that great, and his hands fly all over the place when executing kicks.

  • His holding side kick was really good but his foot shape was not foot sword, where toes are below the line of the heel. In any case it's not his problem, but mine, because I train under Grandmaster Han Sam Soo and he is one of the early pioneers under General Choi. He modifies some of the original ITF style, in which he calls LTI: Life Tae Kwon-Do International. I think he says he will open up a website pretty soon, so we will see.

  • very nice, you have AMAZING snap...and the breathing technique makes it very intense :)

  • POLAK JUPI xD

  • Ge-Baeks some whacky shit man, but it looks fun

  • i swear he is not doing it right .

  • Not according to Gen. Choi.

    This guy is ITF patterns world champion. Chances are you practice phoney tkd in some bright coloured uniform, hence why you think it's not right (because it's correct)

  • no i dont practice phoney tkd, i train under grandmaster ye bong choi who went to the olympics in sydney 2004 as a judge for taekwondo. im gukiwon cert'd as 3rd degree black belt and i still think its not "right" meaning it could be a lot better

  • forgot to add i am familiar with itf forms very well

  • Clearly you are not

  • WTF are you guys talking about? he's doing it very good...!!

  • am I the only one that finds it ironic that you actually used 'WTF' on a taekwondo vid. :P

  • dude come on,,,you know what I mean..LOL

    What The Fuck..!!! not WTF

  • yeah mate, I knew what you meant, just thought it was a bit of a coinscedence lol

  • uhu lololol :p

  • this man has a great technic but he is not increible becuase the diagram is not perfect.

  • i think he is good and certainly very powerfulbut his techniques just dont flow and tae-kwon do is a fluid martial art. that my only problem with his form tho

  • Yes, Taekwon-do may be a fluid martial art, but it does not mean that it can not be powerful and forceful. Jaroslaw Suska is a world professionalist, and he certainly may be very flexible if he wishes too. Only in Taekwon-do most patterns and techniques have to be rigid - for how would you stand good ground in a proper fight if your moves weren't sharp enough?

    You are not being criticized - Just keep in mind that Taekwon-do is a powerful, and graceful martial art.

  • Yes, I agree with you, because after all, TKD was originally developed FOR the military. In which they stand tall and rigid. Not loose and fluid. xD

  • Comment removed

  • it is a fluid martial art to a degree, however, traditionally its a power based art. Deep Stances, strong powerful kicks, hard strikes, you can add fluidity to it but if you overdo it you ruin TKD in my opinion.

  • I guess there is not right or wrong in this case. if you include the wave or not in the pattern is of less importance if you can't perform the pattern at all, right?

    What i am saying is that there are schools that teach with and others without, but all of them teach the same pattern. What matters is that each move is at the right level of speed and rhythm (e.g. a low kick should be low or a round kick should be with the ball of the foot)

    the power comes from the hips and not from the wave

  • comes from hips and wave. ive tried poomsae without sinewave, doesnt feel nearly as powerful, looks and feels more rigid and less flowing. also boring to do. looks quite stupid also....in my humble opinion ^^

  • Wrong, power comes from the sine wave. techniques in a pattern must be powerful if the pattern is considered well done. ITf movements must have sine wave in order to be done correctly with a few exceptions. Angle of kick, type of movement, slow, continous, connecting, etc, stance and proper sine wave with exhalation are all aspects of itf tkd and must be done in patterns. That said, I don't understand how ppl can criticize ITF patterns when they don't know ITF tkd. It's just plain weird'

  • esta bien el tul, pero para mi le hace falta un poquito mas de fuerza y marcacion en las patadas, tambien acelerar un poco el ritmo de la forma.

  • Comment removed

  • yuk

  • awsome

    a long but good looking pattern, im gunna enjoy it more when i've learned it.

  • I'm not comparing them.

    I'm just asking for mere curiosity,

    cos I think that someone who has a dan,(at least in itf tkd, which I do) should know the meaning of sine wawe.

    And truly, Suska is one of the best.

  • neither had i, and i'm a 2nd dan as well. but i have seen it many times. i understand wat its for, and how useful it is, but i hate it when a competitor/student does it in every single move of a form! it looks to bouncy to me.

  • Yeah, I did some studying on it, and it does add a lot of power to the form. But, like you said, it makes the form look bouncy. If you glide into each move, staying at the same level, the form looks so very much better.

    Besides, forms competitions are not to compare strength of moves. Sure, good power is always a plus, but I've seen incredible, yet un-powerful, forms.

  • Im a first dan, and i've always done the sine wave. i personally think it makes the patterns much more graceful. i guess it depends what you're used to.

  • Graceful, maybe. But not very smooth.

    And, though the sine wave technique adds a lot of power to a move, it's unconventional, in that it immediately gives away that you're attacking.

    If you glide up to your opponent, keeping your head at one height the whole time, their reaction time will be slower, because it's harder for the mind to pick up that kind of movement.

    But I guess there are times when it's better to use sine wave than not to...

  • i disagree on gliding to an extent.. its all aout moderation; if you sin wave too much then yea you look bouncy, but just the right amount makes the pattern look amazing. On some moves here, just gliding makes the move look a lot less powerful (such as the 9-block, which looks kind of sloppy without the sin wave in to it).

  • what's up bro 7Christabel7 !

    this guy is doing very nice job... he have done professional this forms.

    however, u don't have to compare WTF with "ITF". ITF is way a head from WTF. i have experience from both so.

  • Sine wawe is a movement that is supposed to maximate the power in a technique by first lifting your body up and then dropping it.

    (It forms a wawe-like image.)

    Do you do ITF or WTF tkd?

    Because in here the sine wawe is one of the first thing taught to a beginner.(ITF)

  • ok 2 things:

    1 wat the hell is a sine wave ive seen it on almost every tkd video ive watched so far?

    2 this is my next form and im a 1st degree(dan)green credit

  • green credit?? what the heck's that? you must be under some strange organization..

  • um no im being taught by a former pesidential body guard from south korea so i am not under strange orgnazation

  • i'm trying to learn this pattern but i dunno what is he doing when his back is turned

    really gives me the shits.

  • ok disregard that last comment because i finally mastered it today :)

  • Good for you, mate. I'm still learning it. I've learned Po Eun and Kwang Gae, though.

  • personally i dont see the point in sine wave.. do you not think that the hip twist is a better way of getting power into your move rather than bouncing? when you do the sine wave your loosing power.

    i do have a fair comment though

  • actually every moves in Taekwon-Do is using the parts from the body including the hip...the sine-wave is too use the law of gravity. J

  • Actually this might just be my own personal opinion.

    WHy do most people think it's either sine wave or hip twist.

    Using sine wave does not stop one from using hip twist as well.You can incorporate hip twist in the middle of the sine wave for most moves.

    Imho, I think sine wave helps you gain rhythm and momentum.

  • agreed

  • It's seems to be a fairly common misconception that Hip Twist and Sine Wave are mutually exclusive, which is just nonsense. Hip twist and Sine Wave contribute in different ways to the overall speed of the striking tool at point of impact. Speed, Mass, Reaction Force, Equilibrium (Balance), Concentration (minimising the amount of the striking tool in contact with the target) and Breath Control all have an affect on the amount of energy transfered to the target at point of impact.

  • accually sign wave gives you more power as stated in the theory of power---that power =speed times mass <--- and sign wave helps to put youre mass into youre movments therfore giving you more power:)

  • Exactly they go together..:)

  • Sine wave helps create power, and promotes good technique. It may not be practical real world use but that's not the point. You relax going into each technique and force down into it at the end, tensing the muscles with a brief exhalation of air.

    I hope you don't practise the version of Taekwon-do that I see popping up everywhere on YouTube - the kind with no finesse, utterly mangled technique, and virtually no control.

  • What are you nuts? All your power comes from sin wave! Obviously if you do it too much it looks pretty goofy, but the right amount makes the perfect pattern.

  • @TheSnek901 You're obviously nuts.....power does not come from the sine wave....it comes from the ground up through your hips. If you knew anything about physics you could easily calculate the vector forces and see for yourself.

  • I CANT USE HIP THEY DONT LET ME

  • What? who wont let you?

  • aw i miss tae kwon-do this was one of my fav pattern lol kinda wanna go back coz it really kept me in shape! but on the arguement of the hip and the dsh noise i was taught to use the hip and the dsh noise as the dsh noise actually helps focus ure breathing and where ure using ure hip strength anlong with it....if that makes any sense lol

  • Also known as sine wave.

  • ooooo yesssss! ur vidz help soo much! i quit tkd 4 like.. 1.5 yrs, going bak this friday n 4got all my patterns! now i can learn them bak! wee! thnx! xP

  • a very good tul

  • :/ I don't know why, I'm looking at different martial art form styles and I really dislike the tae kwon do ones... (no offence like) they just see so... empty and emotionless, while very jumpy and not fluid.

  • Not my schools. We do ours different. All the people on youtube do everything weird and make a weird "DSH" sound and it bugs me. They don't use their hips at all for power and it just bugs me because i see alot of blackbelts that are terrible at forms like this guy.

  • I've heard that, their breathing with a SHH sort of thing... it seems to me that to make that sound they had to be restraining some air (or maybe thats just to me), but I'm taught about using the hip, I suppose its more important to me (being a girl so having less muscle mass)... phwoar, soz, long comment :D

  • Ya, I'm taught to use the hip too. When I test for my 1st dan black belt and I do my form like these guys do, I wouldn't pass at all! And ALOT of power can come from the hips. When I tried to break 3 boads with a knife strick the first time, I didn't use my hips at all. Then I did it with all my hip power and I broke through it like it was nothing.

  • I want to be one of those 80 year olds who can still do techniques because they use no hip power at all (unless I have a hip replacement- then i wont be so eager :D)

  • (I meant use hip power and no strength)

  • um, not quite.

  • what isnt

  • no offence but his twisting kick seems to be a bit below of his belt

  • It's a low twisting kick; unlike most low kicks, the low twisting kick is aimed at a target below the belt: the inner thigh.

  • His X Block Is Really Well Done & His Twisting Kick At The Start Is Excellent He Is Brilliant.

  • there's some slight mistake in the steps of his ge-baek. proof is: he doesn't stop where he started.

  • Thanks, Truls, for uploading all of these videos. I'm soon to try for me II. dan, and I have to train a lot by myself, so your videos available is a lot of help.

    Thank you to sab. Suska, for training so hard in order to achieve such a high level. You're an inspiration.

  • Sweet from I'm just A red Belt but I see this A lot

  • i am only a 1st dan and so may be wrong - but shouldn't the the foot in the first side-kick be angled slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards?

  • That is correct. But I think we can live with it... :)

  • *wistles* whoah~ m i sopouse to do this next o.0 n i thought po-eun was hard..haihz

  • ..couple of odd blocks etc, but on the whole a lot better than a lot of the shit on Youtube re: patterns.

    Nice power, accuracy and speed though.

    I'm sure I attended the European championships at that sports hall in 2000!

  • u need to do more hip strength work,just practicing kicks wont help

  • Wow you are really... GOOD!! I just tested for my Black Belt on March,1.2008 and I PASSED!!!! hopefully one day I can be as good as you and these videos are really teaching me my new Black Belt patterns THANKS!!
