I'm thinking of doing TKD again after a nearly 10 yr hiatus due to health issues. I was/am a 1st degree black belt, but I've sadly forgotten a lot of these patterns. I may relearn them quick enough, but right now the memories are fragmented. Also I'm 38, got a pacemaker, and one of my lungs is partially gone (bloodclot). So...yeah.

[@stevenweigand7153]

I did all of those forms in my TKD school growing up in the 80's. We didn't use the sine wave movement, though. Our teacher learned from ITF before they changed over to using it. Whenever I see it being used, I kind of cringe. Sorry. Haha. I knew a guy who was a big proponent of sine wave movement and would wax philosophic about it whenever it came up, but I never bought it. Your snap and the ability to hold those kicks in the air demonstrate excellent control and mastery of the art. Not crap. Good for you.

[@amylee6038]

Thank you. We visited a local school and they tried to convince us that using youtube videos was bad. We should have to drive 45 minutes each way to their school and give them a lotta dough to learn them. And share an instructor with all the other students. That's a red flag as far as we're concerned. We will attend the school twice a week but to tell us we can't use supplemental material is hogwash. Thanks again.

[@Tkdtube]

I'm curious to know which school you are attending. I hope it is not Saroughi TKD. These youtube videos were filmed using some of the best TKD practitioners in the world. Anyone telling you they can't be used for learning purposes is truly mistaken.

[@amylee6038]

​@@Tkdtube This will come back to haunt me if I give their name. But my husband was a student of Su Ki Shin in the 1970's and 80's (Silver Medalist for Korea in the Olympics in Judo). He was a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. First degree in Judo. He was on the national championship wrestling team at the University of Iowa and a state boxing finalist in two different states. He won Midwest USA titles in both Tae Kwon Do and Judo, made the quarter finals of nationals in 1983. He ran a school but retired in 1986 to coach wrestling, winning five straight state team titles. So he was in a pretty good position to select your videos as the ones he wanted to use for our kids. He's old and fat now, lol. We still want to give this school a chance. They had a national champion there and when we visited they seemed technically sound. But when calling to ask which set of forms they were doing, we got this speech. So he asked if Chon Ji was the first, and they said yes. So it wasn't Tae Geuk forms or whatever. People often think you're stupid when you walk in off the street or call in without credentialing yourself - but why should you have to. So what if there is some minor difference between the videos and a particular club's style - anyone who shows initiative to study additional material outside class should be considered positively.

When I did it, we had to learn these. Idk if it was the second or first pattern but one girl in our class for the white belts apparently got it on the first try we were showed it by one of the instructors, so the rest of the time this 10 year old or something was teaching it to us. Idk if she really was a quick learner like what she told the guy or if we got it wrong but they didn’t say anything or maybe he spoke to her before the lesson about this but yeah…kinda weird.

Forgive my ignorance I do not train kata, but I have seen many from many styles. Even with TKD I have not seen that hop, pop/bounce you do when you move.

..siempre es difícil opinar , aunque resulta una buena exposición, se observa que la relajación que se genera entre cada movimiento, no se ve una relajación natural, existe un ritmo muy disparar, genera una potencia, que pudiese mejorar aún más haciendo más énfasis en el tronco al rotar la cadera. felicidades--

@@Squid622 once again, the technique are referring to is not in Hwa-Rang. If you go to any video on youtube where someone is performing Hwa-Rang, there is no punch after the x-fist pressing block. If you are performing it this way, it is incorrect according the TKD Encyclopedia.

[@markmorabito1643]

I'm a practitioner of Tang Soo Do, and I was curious to see how much both ITF and WTF taekwondo differ from it. I like how they have their own unique forms, whereas Tang Soo Do forms are mostly borrowed from Okinawan/Japanese karate. I also like how ITF stances are deeper than WTF, (which are way too narrow and almost lazy looking in my opinion), although they are still a little bit shallower than TSD. I don't know how I feel about the whole bouncing movements (I think they refer to it as "sine wave"?) This is contrary to what Tang Soo Do and most styles of karate teach, where the head mostly stays level during forms and drill. I imagine that ITF believes the bouncing adds more power, but to me, it reminds me too much of dancing and looks a bit silly. Anyway, I respect the differences and find them fascinating. I just hope that ITF teaches keeping the hands up during fighting unlike the WTF.

[@zrig1]

I am getting back into ITF TKD after a 37-year break. We did not have Sine wave back in the day. I simply don't get it either. My instructor has thrown his hands in the air trying to teach it to me. If you don't do it in sparring then why do it at all. Let's face it, in the ring if you down up down, your opponent will be all over you by the time you hit the second down. It's called telegraphing.

[@jakejake9803]

ITF does teach to have hands up, ITF is much closer to karate than WTF is

[@Beyondthebackyard-au]

@@zrig1 Completely agree, it's only in patterns and basics not sparing, so why?. I struggle to see the point in the sine wave also. My first ITF school didn't have sine wave, always head level, this time around it's doing my head in. And I find the second I do a pattern in my own time my brain goes back to old habits and the sine wave is completely gone.

[@jetsparrow3171]

Well, please don't use this Sabum as a guide to correct Chang Hon patterns (often referred incorrectly as ITF patterns as ITF is an organisation, not a style) as he seems to only focus on the incorrect way Europeans have no realism, stop-start, over-use of knee bounce (and not correct knee-spring), he doesn't look where he's going, minimal hip movement, etc, etc. For some crazy reason for European tournaments they've developed an entirely different way to perform their patterns that is completely distinct from Chang Hon Tae Kwon-do patterns.

[@MrMeltdown]

My instructor explained the sin wave was originally the natural rise and fall from one stance to the next. Leaving a stance bringing the feet together raises your centre of mass only a small amount you then drop into the next stance WITH hip twist. I.e. use both hip twist and sin wave when you can. There was a drive to eliminate hip twist and over exaggerate the sin wave and I think this is the result.

[@jidol4848]

[@df5826]

As a black belt myself I honestly don't understand the bouncing flow between your moves. Is this something that's trained into people who compete in patterns? Not trying to be rude or dismissive but I'm honestly curious where this "settling" into the next move comes from because it's not something my master taught us and it seems very counterintuitive for me because telegraphing is fatal. ;)

[@jakejake9803]

Are you in ITF? Im also a black belt then, and I do the bouncing flow in my patterns but it’s really just movement of the hips to generate power (and demonstrate that) in punches for example, in sparing we don’t as much because that would be telegraphing

[@df5826]

@@jakejake9803 I was trained in ITF! I guess I find it "silly" because my club tended to be more sparring focused and less pattern focused. Not to say we didn't do patterns! I was lucky enough to learn from a master who was trained by Lee Sukhi and Park Jong-soo. So we had a very "traditional" club where we had a written test as well as the physical test, to get a yellow belt. We learned the meanings of the belt colours and were meant to embody martial arts not just treat it like a sport. All that aside I guess I personally find it odd to see that additional movement because like you said, telegraphing. :)

[@damonrambo3244]

Its called "Sine Wave." MOST ITF schools adhere to it, though not all. You must be from a non-sinewave school. Its designed to teach you how to integrate your body and weight into your technique. Boxers and kickboxers do this- watch how they raise up during uppercuts, and drop doing downward angled hooks... there is no telegraphing, because it isnt as pronounced when in the ring. Much the same way we draw our non striking hand back to counterbalance our moves, yet we dont do that in sparring. We overly emphazie everything in our forms, because when we are in a true fighting situation, our bodies are lazy, and only replicate a small percentage of how weve trained. Im a practioner and instructor of a sine wave style of TKD- Choong Sil Kwon. I honestly cant imagine doing my forms without it...

[@df5826]

@@damonrambo3244 I really appreciate you going through the breakdown around why it's done. I mostly figured it was for "show" to emphasize the techniques and didn't really have much use. Hearing how you're doing it to integrate your body weight makes sense but still seems forced and un-natural. Mainly though, being from a club that was second generation ITF (my master was trained by one of Chois Boys ;) ), we didn't have much focus on the "show" of TKD and focused technique and sparring. I always viewed forms as a necessity for training but at tournaments they were really FAKE and just seemed silly. As for being lazy when fighting outside the club, I feel it's less about being lazy and more about being efficient. When you're fighting outside the club there is a need to be efficient and not expose weaknesses that can be exploited. It means you're not focused on your foot sword (because hopefully your muscle memory has that on lockdown) or your chamber, you're thinking about your target and how to hit it as hard and fast as possible while maintaining defensive control. I'd argue it's the entire reason why we spend so much time on forms in the first place. So that when we're not in the dojang, we're still able to have good technique. Keep your kicks up! ;)
