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!

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?

Take care

Can using ankle weights help to improve kicks? If so, what are some good exercises?

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 Steph Technical Questions Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:34:33 GMT http://hsts.forumotion.net/technical-questions-f1/yop-cha-jirugi-dollyo-chagi-t7.htm#10 http://hsts.forumotion.net/technical-questions-f1/yop-cha-jirugi-dollyo-chagi-t7.htm http://hsts.forumotion.net/technical-questions-f1/37-degrees-t5.htm Elliott Callahan

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 ...
