  • good i use more of high block cuz im yellow tip

  • @DragonZord90 Nice to hear. If your able to post a live example please do. ^_^

  • @DragonZord90 So you use it then?

  • everyones block is different, mine is also different then this in WTF style, but doesnt mean he is wrong either

  • actually if you wouldn't mind, would you do a small demonstration video of how it is taught to you?

  • yeah, its wrong, the block should cover your chest and be below the face.

  • nice uniform, a lot of strips.

  • I have been learning WTF TKD more than 4 years. I think he is showing it wrong.

  • I don't know if the ITF has recently changed their technique for this block, so I can't say for sure he's presenting it differently to his organisation's current standards, but it certainly used to be different and in my opinion much better. The blocking arm brought back on the outside of the non-blocking arm, so they form an X shape in line with the rear pectoral. This avoids the weak cramped motion shown, promoting circular movement. No hip movement was shown: ok for white/yellow belts.

  • that´s wrongggg
