9 Training Secrets of Taekwon-Do - 02/07/08 07:55 PM
This topic came up on another thread. Some thought that I was talking about keeping secrets from students until some special level or only certain students & the like. I then realized that many were not understanding what I was referring to because they do not study ITF or Chang Hon style of TKD or do not have access to the 15 Volume Encylopedia of Taekwon-Do, written by General Choi Hong Hi, 1983, 1987, 1993 & 1999. These are 9 principles that should be followed or 9 concepts that should be adhered to or understood, to insure one's training progresses in a scientific & efficient manner. Now some may say these only apply to my Art or style, but I think anyone can benefit from them, so here they are! please let me know what you think. I would apreciate any & all feedback. Thanks!
The 9 Training Secrets of Taekwon-Do (Which are not meant to be a secret!)
1 - To study the theory of power thoroughly
2 - To understand the purpose & method of each movement clearly
3 – To bring the movement of the eyes, hands, feet & breath into a single coordinated motion
4 – To choose the appropriate attacking tool for each vital spot
5 – To become familiar with the correct angle & distance for attack & defense
6 – Keep both the arms & legs bent slightly while the movement is in motion
7 – All movements must begin with a backward motion, with very few exceptions, however once the movement is in motion it should not be stopped before reaching the target
8 – To create a sine wave during the movement by utilizing the knee spring properly
9 – To exhale briefly at he moment of each blow except a connecting motion
