			<title>Pattern reference sheet</title>
			<link>http://hsts.forumotion.net/technical-questions-f1/pattern-reference-sheet-t43.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Dave Horton</dc:creator>
			<description>Have made a reference sheet which I have found useful in revising which leg goes back and number of movements. Hope you also find useful. I am not 100% about the Korean starting positions in the later patterns so could be incorrect. Let me know if there is something I have missed.

 



Taekwon!

			<description>Hello



I am grading for my blue tag this Sunday and have 2 definitions for the meaning of Taekwon-do, and would like to know if both are acceptable please:



DEFINITION 1 (from a sheet I was given on my 1st Taekwon-do lesson)

TAE: Means Foot to kick with Foot.

KWON: Means Hand to block, punch with hand.

DO: Means Art, Method



DEFINITION 2 (from the link on HSTS website to the UTA)

&quot;TAE&quot; Stands for jumping or flying, to kick or smash with the foot.

			<description><![CDATA[Hi 
<br />

<br />
Just a quick question - for the side piercing kick, does the kicking leg start to extend only after the hips have rotated into position, or does it happen at the same time - as one continuous movement?
<br />

<br />
Take care <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png" alt="Very Happy" longdesc="1" />

			<description>Hi



Does anyone have suggestions on how to execute the following move for Do-San? 



7.Twist the right knife-hand together with the body counter clockwise until its palm faces downward and then move the left foot to D, turning counter clockwise to form a left walking stance toward D while executing a high side strike to D with the left back fist. 



My balance is not great when doing the turn and I battle to get into the right end position - left walking stance and high side strike.  ...</description>

			<description>Hi

  



I need some help with the side piercing kick (getting the foot to turn down) and turning kick (foot horizontal). I'm battling to get my foot placement correct for both. If I kick against an object it improves but the moment I practice freely as for the grading, I struggle to get the foot turned down or horizontal. I'm not sure if my stance is the problem. Where should the tension be felt the most - hamstrings or quads? 

Any suggestions?



take care

			<description>Hello Everyone!



Here's one to start things off !



My brother and I have a question about the pattern diagram of Ko-Dang tul:

When looking through the encyclopedia at the pattern diagrams, particularly those of the black belt patterns, we noticed that most start on the A - B parallel.  We then noticed that some, for example pattern Ul-Gi, start on the E - F parallel, which is 'in front' of the A - B.  We assumed that this was because during the pattern you would work your way back towards  ...</description>
