Secrets
of Taekwon-Do
|
|
| An
old proverb says that even heaven cannot make a diligent worker poor.
However, in Taekwon-Do diligence or intensive training alone does not
produce quality techniques. On the contrary, instructions from a false
or unqualified instructor would be worse that not being taught at all
because unscientific movements not only reduce the power but require
a tremendous amount of time to correct.
On the other hand, under the proper guidance of a competent instructor, a student who trains earnestly with dedication will learn the true techniques of Taekwon-Do in a comparatively short period of time with less effort. Students should keep in mind the following points: |
|
| 1: | Study, the theory of power thoroughly. |
| 2: | Understand the purpose and method of each movement clearly. |
| 3: | Bring the movement of eyes, hands, feet, and breath into a single co-ordinated action. |
| 4: | Choose the appropriate attacking tool for each vital spot. |
| 5: | Become familiar with the correct angle and distance for attack and defence. |
| 6: | Keep both the arms and 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: | Create a sine wave during the movement by utilising the knee spring properly. |
| 9: | Exhale briefly at the moment of each blow except in a connecting motion. |
