Personal contributions: after 20's and 36's movements : the "nine shape movement" is an arm lock followed with an elbow strike on the face then a palm attack on "private parts"(SeiPai like)

I am very familiar with the history of Choi Hong Hi, and Taekwondo Chang Heon. However, I have never seen the hyung performed from the Kara-te point of execution!

Very nice depiction of a Korean-Kata!

Dear friend : In the 70's we practiced this way, concerning the rythm, lack of sine wace etc ... To be honest, I changed some movements to match with the applications I conceived at this time. Anything really important ...

Dear Sir,

May I ask your martial arts lineage. That hyung was preformed much in the same way as a would be a Shotokan Kata. Also, may I ask...the photo in the window, looks as if it may be Funakoshi-sensei.

Humble Regards

Dear batemanTKD : Your remark is very pertinent. By 1942, founder of TKD, Choi Hong Hi, was a 2nd grade student of Gishin Funakoshi, the founder of Shoto Kan. When became a general, he first taught what he called "real Shoto Kan", mixed with Tae Kyon techniques, notably in the 29th Infantry Division, before spreading to the entire korean army.

Tang Soo, Karate, but not Taekwon-Do. First thing you ned to look at is that the pattern begins and ends in the same spot. Mark the floor with tape and use it as a focus point.

@viewer1964 : Indeed, for TKD exams, returning to the beginning point was an important criterion. An anecdote : Sensei Tsukada said that originally Naifanchin kata (look like Po Eun in TKD) did not include the return pattern. Ancient masters found it too tiring to have follow their students, so they invented a return pattern to make them get back to the beginning point ... :) Happy Easter !

Excellent reflection !

um yeh lots of power. but i think its better to do patterns slower because it allows you to break the technieqs down and show acurasy. and it improves your overall TKD training. it may be realistic but when you do use the moves in life they will be much better.

This is an ITF form, but if you watch actual ITF practitioners do it...well...it looks like crap. OTF, which also practices the Chang Hon Hyung (sp?) looks a little more like this.
