At the time I was in GTI (former TAGB) and they were teaching waist-twist and reaction hand. Around that time there was also a very patronising, butt-licking article in UK MA press about someone being taught 'true TKD', not 'outdated waist-twist'. _________________________ See how well I block your punches with my jaw!!

Do it at the same speed and it adds to the waist-twist power. At least that's what we were told :-) _________________________ See how well I block your punches with my jaw!!

Matakiant Member Registered: 02/08/11 Posts: 101	Well what would the punch position be? And back to hip would be a ''traditional chamber'' or something else? Is it basically when you hit with your right hand you ''pull back'' your left?

trevek Professional Poster Registered: 05/15/05 Posts: 3331 Loc: Poland	Yeah, but the pulling back/chambering is also to add power (apparently). If you look at something like Wing Chun or boxing, the use of the chamber/reaction isn't as pronounced (if at all), whereas in TKD (especially waist twist) it is used to generate power as well. _________________________ See how well I block your punches with my jaw!!
