Nai Han Chi Cho Dan

Requirement for 1st Dan Black Belt

Rick Brown, 3rd Dan Black Belt and owner of Brown's Karate Academy of Carlinville IL, performs Nai Han Chi Hyung Cho Dan. This is the tenth form learned in Tang Soo Do.

Nai Han Chi Cho Dan

When performing Nai Han Chi Cho Dan, key points are:

1. The form is in the pattern of a Straight line, all movements are side to side

2. There are a total of 27 movements, not including the Choon Bee at the beginning and end of the form or the Nai Han Chi Choon Bee also at the beginning and end of the form

3. Turn the head before moving the body

4. This form is basic in nature, there are no kicks represented -- all the techniques are hand movements

5. Ki Hap sharply on the throwing movement in the middle of the form and at the end of the form

6. Breathe out sharply on each move, breathe in between the movements

7. If performed correctly, you will end up in the same spot as you started from

8. The entire form is done in a saddle stance

that looks like chul gi cho dan. why do some people call it nai han chi cho dan. that really sounds like a japanese kata name

[ricktsdmdk]

@jessica5000000 I am always surprised at the lack of history taught in martial arts, and the misinformation people are given. Nai Han Chi is the Chinese name for this hyung, which was developed in the 1800's on Okinawa by karate masters Matsumura and Itosu. In Japan, they are called Tekki, in Korea usually Nai Han Chi, sometimes Chul Gi (by Tae Kwon Do clubs). The 3 NHC forms are full of close in fighting movements. Hope this brief lesson in history helps!
