Differences in ITF

Do you find this exhibition lacking vis a vis sine wave?

Massive, massive differences between the video you posted and the one Mitch posted. The latter is how you will see most, of not all, ITF stylists doing it today. Pretty useless.

 

FWIW I will say that Suska has a lot of talent. What he exhibits is common with some factions. Particularly Eastern European ones. Parts of what they do I consider an overly exaagerated initial drop / lowering, particularly in walking and sitting stances.

So, if your observations are based on reviewing Eastern Europeans than it is understandable. That doesn't make it right or correct.

However, GM Park in the video (although admittedly past his prime at that point) is the guy General Choi sent to teach the North Koreans. He also taught the ITF Instructor courses in the 1980's throughout the world.

 

That is your opinion Van, but in no way is it useless, why is this thread TAGB biased? In your part anyway.

Sine wave is not just the movement it is scientifically proven!

 

I've been to clubs run by most organisations in the UK and the TAGB consistently had the highest standards.

 

enough said, and I TOTALLY disagree, but what ever floats your boat. Get some experience!

 

It's interesting to not geographic differennces in execution. Had a young man from Slovakia come train with me me for a year during a student exchange program. He was from Slovakia and had trained there about 5 years.

I know nothing about their ITF program but when i saw him perform i commented that it was interesting that his execution had nuances typicaly found in Polish ITF practitioners.

He then told me Jerzy Jedut (From Poland who happens to be Suska's Instructor) Does all the testings and heads up the technical committee for Slovakia.

So, the point is there are noticeable differences. some from "Top" guys. They may or may not be "correct".

 

Experience?

 

It seems that in this video he put his techniques more in a sequence.

 

Rather in this video it seems he's focusing more on individual movements and techniques.

 

Not sure of your background. Do you have experience of different organisations?

 

Is this you?

Could not seem to get the website to work

 

That's my old Twitter account. My new one is in my signature beneath each post.

 

He wanted to put stalked but was advised against it x

 

OK, but there was a post on an earlier thread about your resume on the website and a recent poster here commented about experience level so I was looking for it.

This is what i found on the Twitter site:
World Karate Champ. World Karate Team Champ. International Coach of the Year. Coach and athlete with England Full Contact Karate Team..

Is there a more thorough listng somewhwere?

 

Not until I put my website back online (I'm writing material for it at the minute). But anything you want to know you can just ask.
