I am a member of the INTERNATIONAL tang soo do and I just find it funny how crappy American tang soo do is and how they change moves so the form is easier
good job! i am a 2nd degree black belt and i am 12 i have won all of my tournaments i have been in 5 tournaments i am the best or 1 of the best in my whole school! very good! I might post somthing later! but yeah!!
I want to thank you so much! Your forms are very accurate in accordance to mine, and my 2nd degree black belt test is coming up, so I watch your forms to help me go over some things I forgot. Thank you! [I'm not an instructor, I'm only 12! =) ]
Thank you for the compliment. I usually do forms with lower stances too. However when I shot these videos I had an injured toe. If ypu look at some of the higher forms you will see the difference. Thank you for respecting our schools way of doing things.
I was taught to have a little lower stance than how you do it (just a difference in schools i'm sure) and I do agree somewhat with others that forms should be a bit more performance oriented when demonstrating. (not necessarily for solo practice where each technique should be made as perfect as possible) That being said your hand techniques are very crisp and show that you have put serious effort into your training. Usually in these forms the hand techniques I see are very sloppy. Great job!
I agree with your development and performance ideals. Though when competing, and done sharply, it can give good opponents a run for their money. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. I only do the forms the way I was taught. All schools have a different way of doing forms. I don't teach my students performance martial arts. We believe that the forms and techniques are to be practiced for the development of muscles. For balance, power, and speed. Not for competition. Not for entertainment.
@mrblackbelt42 So for Bassi, we were taught the character of a Cobra. The coil and the strike. In Pyong Ahn forms we embrace a notion of Peaceful confidence, I teach that as part of generating "Speed Control" or (Wan Gup) and "Tension/Relaxation" or (Shin Chook) Also a concept from GM Hwang Kee called "Stillness in Motion". These all give emotion to the form which is where the "performance" is generated. We focus on this AFTER they get the basics of the form, so it enhances not weakens.
@mrblackbelt42 First off I'd like to say your technique is excellent. But I wanted to comment on the "performance" aspect of your comment. Performing the form is in no way taking the development you mention out of it. In fact it enhances it. One aspect of that is embracing the character of each form. In many cases that character is an animal. We all have seen Kung Fu movies where they embrace animals for "the dragon" style or "the tiger" style. These forms have character much like this.
Humm, the form has good strength/power and footwork, but there is very little hip twist and it is all one pace, try to be less rigid. A good form is almost theatrical....it has slow bits and fast bits - which is where you will score highest for championships.
I like the flow you have in your hands during this form. Very much like a Kenpo form where there is continuous movement, rather than a stop and start flow. Nicely done!
Excellent! My favorite form in my whole career (that's been a while). Though we each do it differently, there is obviously plenty of power, speed, focus and intensity. Well done!

Otherwise...not too bad!
