To darthexylus & halletkd who seem to feel this is a substandard form lacking sine-wave: Proof is in the pudding. Post a video of YOU performing this and all the other ITF forms. That way the rest of us could learn the proper way to do these forms. This would be more productive than hurling insults.

KoreaTKD: I applaude your technique. Your forms are the BEST I have seen on YouTube (Yes, better than trulshotvedt's). Miles better than Cliff Hong's DVD I paid $30 for!

Sine Wave sux.

That was top taekwondo!

@sagagossard Any movement where the exceutioner uses knee spring to get the majority of his body mass higher and then drop down while the strike is excecuted is using sine wave for example in "Taekwon-Do ITF world champion hwang su" at 0:30 he uses knee spring on his front leg in order to get his mass high then as he excecutes the kick he comes back down, at 1:00 the excecutioner uses knee spring once again to get higher then as he kicks he drops his mass down. and at 1:10 there are more videos

@BAHAIRULES ... Can you show me a video exemplifying your point? There are plenty on the internet.

[BAHAIRULES]

@sagagossard in ITF sparring the sine wave is correctly applied as needed, not pattern version but rather sped up, by practicing patterns with the sine wave it induces the muscle memory of the ITF practitioner to repeat that motion every time it is excecuted thus if the practitioner is excecuting a movement where sine wave is needed, they have no choice but to excecute it with the sine wave, step sparring does the exact same thing only applies the sine wave method to distance and timing.

[sagagossard]

@BAHAIRULES I did ITF for a while, and no, sine wave is not there in sparring; there is a natural bouncing up and down of the hip, but the down up down motion (more akin to the saw tooth motion described in the encyclopedia) cannot really be applied to sparring nor to self defence in most instances. With all due respect to gen Choi, his seminaries sucked: the pattern work was very banal, no applications, no nothing, but small corrections.

[sagagossard]

@noktiis yes! it transformed ITF 's technique into a joke.

the camera dude is breathing hard lol

niceeeeeeeee

@hootiemcgrudy2 yeah, sine wave is only fit for forms, but not effecient in sparring or real world aplications.

Bahairules: Choi brought in sine wave near the end to have a reason to do more seminars. It makes no logical sense. My first instructor was also an engineering g professor and sine wave was no where in his teaching. The most efficient delivery of power is the shortest distance between two lines. Sine wave adds extra motion and extra time. It is simply not logical or efficient.
