Also there is no power at all through out this pattern.

How can you even clain there is no power throughout this pattern? You can CLEARLY hear his gi snapping with every movement. How much power should he be generating?

L Stance: weight for a proper l-stance is 60-40, 60 on the back leg 40 on the front, here it is 50-50. The foot should be turned into the stance not turn out of the stance (open), the front foot also is to be turned into the stance not strait. Also the back knee should be pushed out of the stance. The front foot and back foot line up , heel of back foot and ball of the big toe on the front foot are on the same line.

I could go into more if you like.

What do you mean by "the front foot also is to be turned into the stance not strait"? Your describing a more American Kempoish stance. We always do an L stance with the front foot facing forwards. As far as i was aware most Japanese Karate/Tae kwon Do styles do an L stance with the front foot facing straight. What style do you take that the front foot faces into the stance?

My instructor would crucify me

Wow....that was...weak.

Think the power loss is where you dont throw your body in with the blocks need to put the hip twist when doing a block thats where power comes from when blocking. I dont think I would even get away with doing that in front of my instructor

Snapping of his "gi"? First off "Gi" is Japenese. TKD is Korean, which would make the correct name "Do Bok". Snapping of the Do Bok has no relation to power, most heavier fabrics will "pop" with very little power, speed is only needed to create the "pop". The body movement will tell you of the power put into the motion. There is very little counter active motion leading me to believe that there is a smaller amount of power. The "rush" of the movements also indicate the lack of power.

No, but I can put you in contact with him if you'd like.

I wasn't aware of the crossing style difference, so I take that comment back.

Is this you performing the pattern?

[StudioofKoreanKarate]

Your comment on proper crossing is a stylistic difference. Our style crosses the way he is crossing. I will not dispute the rest of your comment.
