Taegeuk Chil Jang

Me (ExtraLuke) performing Taegeuk Chil Jang.

This Taegeuk's trigram represents 'a mountain'. It also represents 'north west' and 'youngest son'

The mountain represents majesticity and indomitability, as mountains are both; majestic and indomitable parts of nature.

I am trying to Display the artistic side of Taekwondo with the taegeuk and pumsae, as this may be over shadowed by the sport side of the martial art. Taekwondo (to me) is more than just a sport; it is a discipline, an art and a way of life (among other things.) And this is what i would like to display. I hope you agree :)

The camera work (in my opinion) isnt as good as my last one, but i was try to use some different shots; from up a ladder and from the floor. Just as a test.

Hope you enjoy!

@TheMrClarko what do you do, and where do you train? :p

[ExtraLuke]

@Oneflip2 yes please, i would like to see it! :)

Man, I've watched this form a dozen times. By different people. I keep coming back to this one. It's such a beautiful form. Lots of awesome finishers in it. It's very interesting how the grandmasters of old came up with these patterns and how to use them effectively.

[ExtraLuke]

@geetboxkarate and yes, i agree.. i dont understand how they could come up with such timeless forms!

[ExtraLuke]

@joe1969812 I don't think this is designed to be used in a fight against anyone. I am performing this to try to display the artistic side of martial arts :)

good video !

I like the snap in your kicks, and the way you hold your form in your blocks. This is one of my favorite forms to do. Maybe someday I will be brave enough to upload my own video performance. Keep up the good work.

@ExtraLuke yes thats what i wanted to say and i was just wondering :)

and this geetboxKARATE guy is annoing...but i have a good i dea maybe i can post a video of my master doing the chil jang just togive you a idea of what i meant? :D

[ExtraLuke]

@Oneflip2 I think maybe you just practise a slightly different style? Because I have competed and won many times in nationals/internationals with these taegeuk. :)

[geetboxkarate]

@Oneflip2 It was a case of "Do or die" not "Do or lose, and not get the trophy and blue ribbon"! They had much bigger things to worry about than the rules and the rule book. They had families and communities that depended on them to protect and provide so they can survive. So while I respect your rules, the only rules I see is, "What were they thinking when the created this?, Will this work?, and How bad do I have to screw up before it won't work?"
