I recognise Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi as the true authority on Taekwon-Do. The information in my tutorial is based on my interpretation of Taekwon-Do as taught to me by the Founder General Choi Hong Hi and as referred to in his book ‘TAEKWON-DO’ (5th Edition 1999) Published by ITF and printed in Canada.
Other Taekwon-Do Masters and Grand Masters may have a different interpretation of Taekwon-Do theory and practice, so if you are a Taekwon-Do student, it is important to check with your instructor if you are not sure about which interpretation you should be following.

Excellent video series. I learn a lot from these videos. I never quite get the breath right. Any pointers on that?

@DonatoNardizzi 6 жыл бұрын

Breath sharply as you execute the technique. Imagine you are blowing out a candle that is placed far away from you. You will need a sharp jet of air to extinguish the flame. Don't do what I did. I once used a real candle to practice by breath control and one day it fell and nearly set my room on fire.

Hello GM Nardizzi. We´ve been working on sine wave motion in the online classes. I´ve already filmed myself many times practicing Chon Ji and Dan Gun, and four direction punch. But I always notice that my movements are too unnatural in my opinion. Until now I´ve tried to pay more attention to the intensity I practice the patterns. And considering I´m just a yellow belt I would love to do my movements in a more natural fashion, instead of keep on doing them not in a proper way as I advance as a student. I´m 1.82 cm, and for some reason my walking stance is often short and my L stance is longer. That´s something I notice and feel everytime I´m required to do a knife hand technique on L stance. I feel I´m going ¨too low¨(if that makes sense) when doing it. So, I´m wondering if it´s a good excercise to practice sine wave motion on Four Direction Punch since I guess it is not the main goal when learning it. Should I apply sine wave directly on Chon Hi? Great video as always!

Is it nessecary to the "hit effect sound" when you pounch?

@DonatoNardizzi 5 жыл бұрын

It is necessary to use breath control when you punch. See lesson #33 to find out why. It is not a hit effect sound.

I have trouble with leaning to far forward when punching into a front stance. I am having a very difficult time breaking out of the habit. Any suggestions?

@DonatoNardizzi 5 жыл бұрын

There are many reasons why this could happen. Without seeing you punch it is difficult to determine what is the reason. It could be you are over twisting. It is easy to lean forward when you are half facing instead of full facing. It could be that you stance is to short and your front leg is not bent enough. It could be that your hip flexor of the rear leg is tight. It could be that you are look down instead of straight ahead. Let me know if any of the reasons apply.

@laurahicks9558 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your response! I just switched from Pasa Ryu to ITF , So my front stance is quite elongated. My hips and hamstrings are very flexible. I recorded myself and no matter how I try, my shoulder lurches forward when I do the punch in Chongji. I do have a tendency to look down though. Like you said it's difficult to say without seeing it, but I do appreciate your response.

Making sure my knee does not go past my foot on my front leg seems to have helped. Thanks.

Hola Master Nardizzi. The first tecnique in saju jirugi is: Gunnun so kaunde baro jirugi? I have a problem with the word "baro", many thanks

@DonatoNardizzi 4 жыл бұрын

Baro means 'obverse'. An obverse technique is when the attacking or blocking tool is on the same side as the leading leg. For example: Right punch with a right walking stance.

stick with the kicks, u doing a lot of unnecessary movement. Question why do you bounce with the body up and down? I'll guess this is for beginners? Show it more advanced as well.

@DonatoNardizzi 5 жыл бұрын

In ITF Taekwon-Do we are supposed to move the up and down. It is called sine wave motion and I explain this in my Taekwon-Do science playlist. I will be doing more kicks. The lessons go from beginner to advanced so I will be covering all the kicks eventually.

@@nio485 I DO know something......it is not four dimensional punch as you call it. It is called Four Direction Punch. Regarding stretching the hands(?) fully: You shouldn't lock your arm fully when punching. You lose power and it can damage your joints if you continue doing this. When you punch an actual target you make contact when the arm is bent around 20-30 degrees to get maximum efficiency of the triceps. The arm will extend further on impact, which can be close to 0 degrees but idealy just short of it. If you can extend the arm fully it means you didn't focus properly and power is lost. When punching without a real target you should also avoid locking the joint. At the end of the punch you maximise the contraction of the muscles then relax again. In Taekwon-Do patterns and fundamental movements we keep the arm extended as we relax but the arm is not locked. The angle of the elbow when is relaxed and extended varies from person to person depending on many factors. I see many students keeping their arm perfectly straight after a punch but they are either doing a weak punch or they are too tense after the punch.

So disrespectful @ gamer. One main lesson in Taekwondo for all is respect and kindness. Someone has posted this video with the intention to help, there is no need to say comments which are not supportive. If you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything. Not sure why the other person is demanding for kicks to be shown. Let’s all learn some humility as learners.
