@HESHHEAD I'm not saying it's perfect, I was saying that it was, for me, actually a pretty solid interpretation of Koryo. I was also saying that the moves were meant to look like that. If, to some, it comes across as "robotic" I think that's the style of the martial art taekwondo. To someone who does kung-fu, it may look robotic, but then to a tkd practictioner, some of kung fu looks like wasted motion. I've seen enough of both to appreciate this as good tkd, and call myself a man besides.
YES! It's good to see someone else understands exactly what is happening in this poomsae and EXPLAINS it! My grandmaster did an okay job explaining it (language barrier I guess) but I am so relieved to see a vid on Youtube where a knowledgeable practitioner explains what is being done and why. This happens to be one of my favorite poomsae....ah nostalgia.
I have to say, I'm appreciating this for what it is, Ky Tu Dang here has excellent technique as taekwondo goes. And for me, I think it looks fast and powerful, the strikes, not robotic. Calling this robotic is like me saying karate has a lot of wasted motion.
The Korean Poomses are beautiful when performed DYNAMICALLY with RHYTHM, RELAXATION / TENSION POWER as would a Japanese 'JKA' Karate SHOTOKAN stylist would. I wish JKA SHOTOKAN include some of these Tae Kwon Do POOMSES. Tae Kwon Do anyways borrowed a lot from SHOTOKAN KARATE-DO. The Korean performers as so ROBOTIC, i prefer the JAPANESE WAYS of performing KATAS/POOMSES.
I love watching him perform poomse but I don't like watching the standardized poomses. They look too robotic, takes away all the power, grace and rhythm.
Its a walk through of koryo showing how it should be done and target area`s. Not kicking in to outerspace.
Which is the winner on koryo vs koryo man or girl under the strict wtf rules
