[Tosh]

READY AND WILLING WITH INFO FROM

SAJU_JIRUGI -> GAE-BAEK

Ever wanted to know about those releases??? The answers are all in my head.

Particularly for the higher grade patterns!

HE-HE

Ah, I can use this right about now.
I am presently learning Yoo Sin and Se Jong....

and waiting to receive a cdrom set that has all of the Chang Hon forms. I find following from a book way too confusing!
Unfortunately it is imp[ossible to spend much time on forms in class so it is necessary to practice ... practice... and practice at home!

[Chazz]

Deb,
Go to www.taekwondo.to and go to the link "patterns" it has all of the forms that the ITU does. Some of the names are spelled different but it will help a lot. trust me!

[KickChick]

Oh I am very familiar with the pattern mpg's on the ITU site ... they've helped me alot!
The cdrom set that I plan on acquiring is here at http://www.comdo.com ... I just think it would make a nice addition to my "library".

[Chazz]

Oh ok cool. Yeah that looks like a great set there. I might think about getting it sometime as well

[Tosh]

I've actualy got a question about Gae-baek...

Man it's going to be a discussion....

After the dodging turning kick do yuo guys go foot to foot spot turning or place the foot down and center line turn??

Cheers

[Chazz]

Where at in the form are you talking about. Im having a hard time placing it.

Moves 33 & 34 of Gae-Baek

33. Move the left foot to A about half a shoulder width while executing a middle turning kick to C with the right foot.

34. Lower the right foot to C, and then turn counter-clockwise to form a left walking stance toward D, pivoting with the right foot while executing a high vertical punch to D with a twin fist.

[KickChick]

OK ... I see at which part in Ge Baek you are referring to (now that everyone is watching me do this form from my cubicle window here in my office at work....:D ) I need to run through the whole form so as I could try an answer this for you!

This is how I was taught....After the kick, both feet land and pivot turn 180 deg. with the twin fist punch... I've see it done both ways actually ....

[Tosh]

This is the point.

For me there are some issues with how you do this in a practical sense but I want to hear peoples variations opinion first!

[KickChick]

I am noticing with the advanced black belt forms there seems to be alot of bringing left foot to right and visa versa .... which is really where I am finding my problems.

I am either bringing in the wrong foot or stepping out with the wrong foot.... ARGHHHH!!!
