    I just found out that a friend of mine put up a vid of me up on youtube. It's a segment from my last testing where I was performing Eui Am. This was a couple hours into the test, so I was pretty wiped, and I started flagging partway through the pattern. I'm pretty unhappy with my performance, but I figured I'd stick it up for criticism regardless.

    I'll stick up any more segments of the test as he makes them available. I've actually been in another state since the day after my testing, so I was unaware that there was even video taken.

    Anyway, here's the link:

    Edit: Here's a link to the clip of Choon jang. Not happy with this one at all. Also, apparently at the test I decided to forgo rythm and just blow through the patterns as quickly as I could. :bang:

    I couldn't get the first video to load.

    In Choong Jang, though, I did notice that some of your walking stances are pretty wide as you step forward. Therefore what's happening is as you shift forward and step your leg out further to the side then required less of your weight and momentum it traveling forward into the punch. Some of it is being lost through the sideways shift.

    Just a little something. Well done anyways.

    Dillon, I just wathed Yui Am, Choon Jang, and Juche from your testing. Very nice. :D

    I'm just learning Juche now. Our school didn't used to do Juche for political reasons, (you can search MAP for my thoughts on that :rolleyes: ), but anyway now I have to learn it :bang: . You've got good hang time, especially for a big guy, definitely a problem for me.

    I haven't gotten to the form yet, but it looked pretty good to me.

    I didn't realize the juche video was up. I actually don't perform juche for ethical/political reasons either. I hadn't done it in almost a year. My teacher asked me to do it one last time at the testing, about a week before hand.

    At the testing, he didn't ask me to perform it. He left it open whether I'd be doing Juche or Kodang; made it my choice. Since he respected my beliefs enough to let me do that, I performed Juche one last time, to show my loyalty to him.

    Haven't done it since; never will again.
