Tae Kwon Do is a sport, not a martial art. In fact, the martial arts aspect that you are learning with your Tae Kwon Do is probably Hapkido or Tang Soo Do, both forms of Korean Kenpo Karate. Different forms of Kenpo take different paths. Shotokan is very linear. The form you see here is from Shaolin Chuan Fa and it is more circular. The theory is that it creates better balance and stability as well as fostering more power. There is no right or wrong, they are just different philosophies.

My sensei often tells me that the feet is not "T" 'ed at the after part of the expel of the two arms propeltion. He is black belt 5 star'ed. I wonder which is right? Not to be offensive though.

[aimsohi]

There are many ways to do a form and, based on the discipline being taught, they are not necessarily either wrong or right. For example, if you are learning the forms while studying shotokan karate, the footwork will be quite different with narrower stances and longer strides. The form, as shown in the video, is from Shaolin Chu'an Fa and the stances are much wider and the steps are more circular and shorter. Both methods are right within the context of the discipline being taught.

What style is this...I take Jean-Guy Angells kenpo karate and my 6th pion is basicly the same but done alot different...when i get a chance i will upload a video of myself performing my kata...let me know what yoy think. thanks

[aimsohi]

This is kempo karate. The style is called Shaolin Chuan Fa which is Chinese for "the way of the fist". I assume you meant to write 6th pinion or pinyan. In this style there is no 6th pinyan (stops at 5 pinyan). 6 kata is the last of the numbered katas. From then on, the katas are all named.

Too much power being shown, though I understand....sometimes knowing your onw camera alters your reality...His balance suffered in many places due to him exxhibiting too much power. This is a long form and needs to be controlled more...

[aimsohi]

The idea of a form is that it is an imaginary battle against multiple opponents. The philosophy is that you will act in a real situation as you have practiced. If you are fighting multiple opponents, you'd better use enough force to take each one out of the fight when you have the chance.

That doesn't mean that you should be racing through the form. Each move should be distinct and precise, so the form itself is slower than real life, but each block, punch and kick should be with power.

I go to USSD and I cant see this guy as being a master. This must be a competitior that made a video to make us look bad. Masater Black would run circles around this guy. GO USSD! LAS VEGAS #1

(Cont. from previous post) Sijo Sunny Gascon,at a smenar in Tennessee back in '98, but unfortunately we ended up doing other stuff. My husband and I were dissapointed.

[thekungfuchick]

yes but in a fight you don't know where it is going so learning to fight in directions makes you more prepared. This guy need to learn to control his head when he is kicking or he's going to end up kneeing himself in the face. His arms were all over the place with no real pupose. Plus this isn't even the original kata 6. The othe 5 katas start differently this starts like a pinoin. There are very few who even know the origional kata 6. I was supposed to learn it from the creator of the katas,

I'm sorry but I am a die hard Tae Kwon Do fan and Kenpo Katas look weird.Your Kata is circular and linear at the same time, almost like you can't make up your mind which way you want to go. Tae Kwon Do poomse is straight forward linear. We know where we are going!

[kempo780]

this is very much like my 6 kata i was taught. very nice form.
