Korean Kicking Project Ep. #2: Martial Art Evolution; the Development of Korean Kicking

[@NBTKDA]

At 38:18 two of my students are there showing the 판 돌려 차기 pan dollyeo chagi, cool! I've been going through your series and absolutely love it.

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Their technique is very good, congratulations! And thanks for the nice comment!!!

[@allenschneider1847]

Wonderful historical presentation. Looking forward to seeing if you address the introduction of sine wave theory into ITF style which, in my opinion, ruined its techniques and forms.

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Thanks a lot Sir. Since this series is about kicking, I have only included a brief comment about sinewaving exclusively from the Korean cultural perspective. Sinewave is a difficult topic because several different things overlap. Poor technique, low training standards and TKD commercialism have spread in the last 30 years, which coincides with sinewave, and during the golden era of TKD there was no sinewave. However, the relationship about those facts is difficult to establish. We normally see bad samples of sinewave but that does not prove the concept itself to be wrong, as the problem may be in the lack of training and understanding. I have written an article on sinewave that may be found on my website www.taekwon.com but I am constantly gaining a deeper understanding on TKD basics (particularly the blocking techniques). I plan to prepare a video series on TKD basics from a combat perspective in the next 4 or 5 years (I think I will have a better idea by then, I will not release anything until I think it is worth sharing). But at this point, to me "sinewaving" is not about going up and down, its essence is about slightly bending your knees at midpoint, pressing your weight against the ground as it is done in Taijiquan for a pushoff. And I have no problem with that. Regards

Thank you Sabeumnim Adrogué, this video deserves four thumbs up. It is very concise, to the point and at the same, detailed. It is like listening to a lecture done by a Professor level. I agree that the Olympic style is heading to a very vague direction.

Profunda investigación. Indispensable para cualquiera que desee conocer un poco más de historia.Gracias!

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Muchas gracias Gustavo! El resto de la serie te va a gustar. Saludos!

[@Sproganoff]

This is a fantastic history video which I thoroughly enjoyed watching, and I will eagerly continue watching the rest. Thank you so much for your deep and insightful scholarship and dedication to presenting it to the world in an accessible way. I have been a student of Tae Kwon do for over 20 years and have never had so much historical and contextual information as readily available as I have found watching your videos.

[@hendao1973]

Gracias maestro Adrogue por esta segunda entrega. Un vídeo muy interesante para quienes amamos el arte marcial con un valioso contenido histórico. Con ansias ya esperando el 3# episodio.

[@daianafernadez3770]

Excelente!!!! Mucho conocimiento para que sigamos aprendiendo !! Felicidades 👏

[@rafaelsabini4720]

Excelente! Mucha información histórica! Gracias, master!

[@manfredkulitz6042]

Mr. Adrogue, what a superb explanation, simply outstanding. History and influences are always interwoven, I remember seeing twist kicks in Karate Master Nakayama's book, and other so-called Korean kicks. All the best.

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Thanks a lot More on that in Episodes 3 and 5!!!!

[@danielezequielalonso9551]

Excelente!!!

[@uteacher03]

espectacular! Manuel!

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Qué gran alegría recibir tu elogio, admirado Sifu. Los episodios 03, 05, 7 y 9b tienen breves elementos o menciones de Kung Fu. Porque debo confesar que me encanta el Karate, me ENCANTA el Kung Fu. Quienes vean mis comentarios como críticas, no me entienden. Gran abrazo!!!

[@uteacher03]

@@ManuelAdrogue tus comentarios son de una idoneidad pura! y con toda la informacion! a mi tambien me encantan las artes marciales como el karate okinawense y el taekwon-do!

[@alejandrovassallo4995]

Cuanta informacion para procesar, definitivamente para volver a ver e indagar mas sobre cada artista marcial nombrado y recordado. Muchas gracias Manuel👏👏👏

[@ElAnacoretaDelTaekwondo]

Un trabajo excelente. Enhorabuena.

[@ghighialderete]

Master Manuel Adrogué I cannot tell you how proud I am of this incredible work that you did with the impeccable knowledge that you have about these martial arts. I can't agree more about the terrible development of the WT not only in the combat system but also in the Patterns which make them unbearable to watch. Congrats for this new project!! I bow to you my friend

[@rodolfosamara]

Excelente el segundo capitulo Manuel. Esperamos ansioso el tercero. Muy didáctico e instructivo. Saber de donde venimos para saber hacia donde vamos. Fuerte abrazo desde Rosario.!!!!Taekwon (Rodolfo Samara)

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Un gran abrazo Rodolfo querido!!! Qué lindo seguir en contacto con vos!

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Fíjate que ya está disponible el tercero!!!

20:23 en chino Ji ben (gong), hoy en día se le llama así a las habilidades básicas del wushu kungfu sea tradicional que moderno.

[@hoonyeo4993]

Basic Kicking skills was add by Funakoshi Yoshitaka between 1936 ~1946 Front kick, side kick, double jump kicks, side jump kick was already exisited but Yoshitaka introduce round house kick(mawashi geri), back kick(ushiro geri), hook kick(ura mawashi geri which introduce by Nakayama Masatoshi) In 1954 JKA Karate video Shotokan already practiced 곁차기(Uch mawashi geri)and spinning back kick(ushiro geri not spinning hook kick)

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Thanks for your comment. Those matters are actually to some degree addressed in Episode #3.

[@armandoestebanquito5539]

Excelente trabajo!! excepto........, excepto minuto 41:53ss, pobre Phil Collins!

[@ManuelAdrogue]

Jajajaja te aseguro que canto mejor, pero no quería cambiar el foco a mi talento artístico, sino a la información. Abrazo!

[@antonioserapio3448]

Seria mas atractiva la charla o clase si la haces en casteĺano ya que estamos en sudamericano

[@ManuelAdrogue]

El público al que me interesa dirigirme es internacional, y el idioma internacional es el inglés. Me ocupé de trabajar especialmente los subtítulos en español, que son perfectos así que todos los hispanohablantes pueden leer perfectamente si tienen interés real en el contenido. En cambio, mis amigos en Corea entienden inglés hablado pero no están en condiciones de leer subtítulos en inglés así que ellos (y la gente cuyo idioma de base no es ni el español ni el inglés) quedarían excluidos si el audio fuera en español. Por eso tengo comentarios positivos de distintos países.
