Thanks for watching!
At *Baehr Taekwondo* , we teach both *Taekwondo* (Tae Kwon Do or Taekwon-do) and *Hapkido* (Hap Ki Do or Hapki-Do). The combination of Taekwondo and Hapkido results in a seamless integration of techniques that no other Taekwondo school benefits from.
My original instructor was *Chung Won Oh* , a 9th Dan black belt in Taekwondo and Hapkido from Korea. He attended the first ever International Taekwondo Federation's intructor seminar in 1974 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He was one of General Choi Hong-Hi's original black belt students and became one of the first Taekwondo and Hapkido instructors in Canada, opening his southern Ontario schools beginning in 1973.
Our style and our uniforms may appear a bit different from what you're accustomed to seeing on UA-cam. Sometimes "different" is a very good thing. (We wear Hapkido uniforms.) More importantly, we set ourselves apart from the other Taekwondo channels because we are very different.
We are the only channel on UA-cam that does *original style* Taekwondo! It isn't a stretch to say that there's us, and then there's everyone else, and everyone else is exactly the same, doing things according to one particular book. If you're ready to learn something new you've come to the right place.
Our style can only be found in the oldest Taekwondo books that were ever published, long before the Legacy guide/encyclopedia and video series came out. As a result, most instructors today have either forgotten that style, or never learned it to begin with.
Our roots trace back to the origins of the art. At Baehr Taekwondo, we teach the original, militarized version of ITF Taekwondo and Hapkido, evolved to make optimum use of every technique and apply it correctly in the most plausible and realistic manner.
By teaching Taekwondo and Hapkido together, students gain a solid grappling background (missing from Taekwondo), along with critical weapons training, breathing control exercises (also missing from Taekwondo), and additional foundation movements (missing from Taekwondo) to form a complete self defence system.
Baehr Taekwondo is the #1 Taekwondo and Hapkido school in Waterloo Region, specializing in private instruction. We offer in-person instruction, and training content for sale.
Whereas WTF (WT) style Taekwondo prepares students for Olympic sparring, we teach fight strategies and tactics that work in the real world. Our techniques are realistic, practical, functional, and optimal.
If you are interested in authentic, original, ITF style Taekwondo, the very style General Choi Hong-Hi taught to soldiers in Korea, as taught by a grandmaster instructor, you are in the right place.
While my channel is not political, it is important to note that UA-cam has *shadow-banned* my channel repeatedly over the years for expressing my political views in the comment section of *other* UA-cam channels. This has greatly hurt the growth of my channel. The top Taekwondo and Hapkido channels you find on UA-cam are all run by users who either express no opinions on UA-cam, or who express only UA-cam-approved political opinions. Whatever your political opinions are, I support your right to say them, without being punished. The same cannot be said of UA-cam.

WTF?
ITF.
Was into Tae Kwon Do for 6 years when I was younger. That backfist would never work in a fight or competition outside of point-fighting. Wouldn’t even look good in a movie fight. You could set up a side kick with it, I was surprised that didn’t follow.
@@tombonususa4040 Nobody ever thought off-the-wall roundhouse kick would work when I uploaded that video either, until someone in the UFC did it and scored a KO. All of the techniques in Taekwondo and Hapkido work if you use them in the right situation. Does it have to look good in a movie to be a valid technique? Since when? I'm demonstrating the technique slowly so people can follow it, and I'm only demonstrating one technique per video. It's a quick attack to an opponent standing off to your side, and then you quickly transition out of that position. The fact that the attack comes from an unusual position makes it difficult to detect.
Every fighting style has techniques that are effective and some that are not. Jon Jones recently finished off Stipe M with a reverse sidekick which is a hallmark of the Tae Kwon Do system. The KING of the backfists is the spinning backfist! That’s been more than proven in full contact competitions over the years. You should show that ! Just my opinion.
Not sure what else to say to the people who continue to dispute what I'm showing in this video. What I'm teaching comes from General Choi to my instructor (Chung Oh) and then to me. *It is the ORIGINAL and CORRECT chambered position for the hand* during foundation movement exercises for walking stance, L-stance, and sitting stance. I don't know how I can make things any clearer. Whatever technique you're doing now, by making this one simple change you will increase your punching speed and your punching power by doing it this way. On the other hand, if you continue to hold your hand at your hip, then you will never achieve the highest level of speed or power, and your technique will always be less than 100%.
Tomas was always a little trouble maker I was at Chung Ohs 1980 to 1987 1st Dan . I was involved opening and teaching in Listowel ontario. Wow man I feel old now lol
Nothing ever changed. Whenever Thomas (Tomas) was around, he tried to make up the rules as he went along and make himself the center of attention all the time. He could never just quietly observe in the background. Here's another Thomas/Tomas memory: At one tournament, the student (I think his name was Eric) did a terrific roundhouse kick break. I think he broke four boards. He let out a groan after the break like "Oohhhh" and everyone laughed, cheered, and clapped. Thomas was there and he interjected. He jumped up from his chair at the head table and wanted to take away points from Eric by making up a new rule on the spot about doing a kiyap and not making any other sounds while breaking. He basically took over the tournament (which was in Kitchener by the way) and diverted attention to himself for about 10 minutes while they all squabbled over it in front of students, parents, and other visitors. That's Thomas/Tomas in a nutshell. More Thomas/Tomas memories: How about when I was removed from the judging panel at another tournament because Thomas/Tomas didn't like the score that I gave to one of his white belt students? Rather than accept the score of the judges and let us do our job, Thomas saw my score and interjected immediately saying he didn't like my score and removing me (I think Shane replaced me). The fact that he would remove someone, and do it in front of everybody at a tournament was so ridiculously petty and insulting. He took joy in trying to embarrass people and trying to inflict harm on people. Literally the worst kind of instructor ever. Every time I see *Kim Jong Un* (North Korea's dictator) on the news, it reminds me of Thomas/Tomas.
A sport, not s true martial art
Both a sport and a true martial art. Taekwondo is like an *intelligence test* to see who understands what martial arts is really about. The people who criticize taekwondo are the people who don't understand the true purpose or benefits of martial arts training at all. I could try to explain it, but I understand that most people just don't get it and never will.
MORON. BLOCK.
You could have just called the video "Mountain Block".👍
I guess it makes no difference given the way UA-cam buries my channel. Nobody can see it anyway. My viewership on *Rumble* already exceeds my viewership on UA-cam, in 1/10th the amount of time with 1/100th the number of subscribers.
@@taekwondotime Fair enough. I just saw the description and the technique and realized it was a lot of words to describe the mountain block.🙂
@@mrdcato This is not a mountain block. It's a back-fist side strike and a low block performed at the same time. I haven't uploaded mountain block yet. 🙂

@@fleyfox1505 Thanks. In most clips I have the original audio in there. There are some where the audio was removed simply because there was nothing to hear (other than wind noise or birds chirping). I might look into putting some music into the clips as well.

People with no UA-cam channel history whatsoever get thousands and thousands of views in 24 hours while my channel (that has existed since 2017) can't even break 100 views per video. That isn't normal or natural. That requires specific intervention on the part of UA-cam to try and hide my channel from viewers. If UA-cam treated my channel the same way they treat the owners of other martial arts channels, I would have millions of views and over 100,000 subscribers by now.
Come on UA-cam! 14 views in one month? How hard do you have to shadow ban my channel for its view count to be this low? Nobody has ever been treated as poorly on UA-cam's platform as I have.
Impressive
Thanks. Being able to find my channel on YT is even more impressive! ☺
11:23 - 11:26 I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU SIR, 1000%
Moving forward, how to do front low block? Sir If possible make a video on this.
The katana weapon videos are going to receive an update as part of my Lessons playlist coming this fall. 🙂
Finally someone who knows how to use a Nunchaku for self defense. I would argue that it's a defensive weapon against an armed indiviual until you disarm or have a head hit opportunity.
Thanks. Every weapon has strengths and weaknesses, and it seems like a lot of UA-cam channels only want to focus on the weaknesses of nunchaku.
Your strong opinion on the technique is obviously valid with your experience although for conversation sake the I would say the knee shuffle is a very confusing to the opponent thus allowing a simple side kick to knock them down especially if there guard goes up expecting a higher kick, especially if they are already partially injured. All jumping techniques include risk of falling really, yes the kick isn't used much and this is why its only introduced at this belt level and practiced in low numbers through the pattern. We can't forget exaggerated stances and footwork build the muscle memory for when the "time comes" and those few steps are cut in half when things get tense. While on the topic, one kick on the bottom of the totem pole I would say is twisting kick... thoughts? :)
What don't you like about twisting kick? ☺
@@taekwondotime I think it has its purpose although just not used to often in relation to continuous sparring, the WT is now using similar style kicks for there electronic hugo scoreing but I'm sure we all have similar opinions on that, (a thumbs down) I personally like the high twisting kick for a one shot defense application. I find your setting yourself up for injury to use it in continuous sparring and the pause of being stationary for its proper alignment gives a trained partner time to advance there technique. Its power is proven through board breaking and is still good for the tool box.
@@Darryl_2023 I always used to find that I could land a twisting kick more often than I could land a front snap kick during sparring just because the opponent was always at an angle (half facing) and the twisting kick would always sneak in there. I'm also a lefty, so doing it off the front leg got a lot of points too. 😇
I’m not up to that pattern yet. Maybe in 6 months or so hopefully. I watch the 1st Kup students practing that side kick and it just looks so awkward. They have to jump off the right leg then twist in the air and kick with the same leg. Just makes no sense. To get the greatest height and distance, and power, on a jump to kick with the right leg, the body naturally wants to jump off the left leg.
Exactly. Have a look at how we do the pattern at my school. We do a jumping front snap kick.
@@taekwondotime I am mid 40’s and started late as my kids train. And I freaking love it. I am not as fast as the others and I rely on my front leg a lot. The front leg front kick to keep them at a distance then a front leg side kick. Aerial techniques are not my forte but with 30+ years of basketball behind me I know if I want maximum explosiveness on my jump I push off with my left leg. The momentum naturally brings my right leg up and forward; into the perfect position to deliver a front or side kick
@@Natedaskate It's definitely a great workout doing taekwondo. ☺
@@Natedaskate I've known lots of people who started in their 40's and were glad they did. ☺ On a running jumping side kick, the leg shuffle and twist that have to be done in the air is really what ruins the kick. On jumping front snap kick you maintain that forward momentum (which is good) or as you mentioned, if it's going to be a side kick it should be a running flying side kick so that the kicking leg leaves the ground first.
@@taekwondotime absolutely it’s a great workout. I know I’ve had a good session when the sweat is dripping off me. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 18 months ago and exercise is a great way to keep blood sugars under control and increase insulin sensitivity. Training gives me the exercise and doesn’t feel like any effort as it’s so enjoyable. Agree on the shuffling of the legs and the twisting on the body in the air and crossing the legs over. I watch them practicing and I’ve lost count how many times they fall initially as their legs collide. And the kick itself when they do get it right has very little power behind it. But it’s required in the pattern so we have to do it :( The biggest thing I struggle with is balance on my sidekicks. With a bag or in sparring it’s a non issue as I have that target. But in line work in the class or in a pattern I feel so uncoordinated and lose balance a lot. Part of it, I think, is because it’s so slowed down at those times. Sidekicks in a pattern are my biggest fear. But in sparring it’s one of my best kicks. Especially the front leg sidekick or a skipping/gliding sidekick. I absolutely love it
This = hooking kick
please no
Despite UA-cam's best efforts to bury my channel (shadow ban) for expressing my political opinions in the comment section of other channels, I'm still here teaching. I know there are people who appreciate seeing real content on UA-cam and not just garbage promo videos that try to sell products, so that's why I do what I do. It's too bad most people can't find my channel.
Hello, could You show Chon Ji with his back to the camera, i.e. without the mirror effect? Please...i need one and it's nowhere to be found....😢
I thought about doing a back view version of the patterns when I recently reshot all the patterns outdoors. The reason I didn't do it was because you wouldn't see most of the techniques, just my back. I settled on doing a front view and a side view. It's not impossible for me to add a back view at some point in the future, but right now it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Most of the forms in Tae kwon do are taken from shotokan kata's, these two techniques are use from a arm lock position to a grabbing both opponents legs to throw so they do have their applications. So knowing what to do with the hand positions are half the battle! :) That is why one hand is up because it's being locked by the other opponent, the other hand is down because now your are grabbing the opponents legs to throw him. :) Hopefully the helped in your journey, I'd would definitely keep the techniques. The more you research every martial art the more you'll be able to understand why foot positions and hand position were used.
Do you have a video, photo, or some text that shows it being done? I'd like to see it.
everything i learned was learned during sparring. by sparring i mean with actual strikes with near full power, with a few caveats. main one was no closed hand strikes to the face.
Free sparring is always the best way to learn how to fight. You learn what works, what doesn't, how much time you have to prepare for an attack, what your range is, and what it feels like to get hit.
the double strike against 1 limb while blocking leaves you open to counters. i would suggest leaving it behind.
A regular knife-hand low block would suffice as well (keeping the other hand chambered). The guarding block (in my experience) is more about a defensive posture used before an attack comes or, if you had an opponent that was on the ground getting back up, it would be safe to temporarily drop both hands down to protect everything down low, including the groin area (knowing that your opponent can't reach anything else).
@@taekwondotime early on, i was taught that chambering one hand at your waist wasonly done to teach you to be aware of what you were doing with your off-hand. once i started sparring, i was taught to keep my hands up to protect my head better. your hands will also in a better position to throw punches as well, since they do not have to travel all the way from your waist. chambering a hand at your waist is only taught by traditional MA anymore.
@@lonnierh0dgejr41 Agreed. I have a video on the hand chambering position in my general discussion playlist. Have a look. We're a traditional MA school and we chamber the hand under the armpit. I've never seen another branch of TKD schools do it like the Chung Oh's Schools did. We're the only ones. Keep in mind that foundation movements are for practice drills (technique development), not for sparring. It's like saying: If you had no opponent, what's the best possible way you could ever do the technique? Then, in sparring, it has to be something less than that, because the opponent doesn't usually grant you enough time to do the full movement, and you have to worry about getting hit back, so you can't have your hands down.
@@taekwondotime i couldn't find the video. mind linking it?
@@lonnierh0dgejr41 This should be it. If not, search for "Moves the book got wrong: Proper chambered position" in the General discussion playlist: ua-cam.com/video/D2vhdG31RgA/v-deo.html
just as well, i was taught to not use bone blocks. muscle protects bone, was the logic. so when i was doing a mid range block (chest level) i was almost always slapping a punch away or using a block with the back of my forearm with the back of my hand facing the kick or hook.
In the case of the knife-hand blocks, the block itself is usually a "strike", intended to cause damage to the opponent's limb. In this case, the knife-hand is being used to block, although if you missed with the knife-hand, you still have the outer forearm as a blocking surface (which is very strong). On the reverse version of the block, the ridge-hand side of the hand is weaker to begin with, the thumb is exposed (as you correctly pointed out) and if that fails, the inner part of the forearm is the blocking surface, which is much weaker.
@@taekwondotime i do understand hard blocks. i used those against a guy who came at me with a 2x4 once. sadly, the 2x4 didn't break. he had difficulty holding onto it though. i figured it'd scratch my arms up pretty bad due to it having bits of nails sticking out of it. he grabbed it off the board stripper at the pallet factory we worked at. he had repeatedly jammed it up and i was giving him a hard time about it. thankfully, i don't think he ever intended to hit me with the side that had nails sticking out it. he did learn that i wasn't lying about my history in the martial arts.
@@lonnierh0dgejr41 Yikes. Sounds like a worst case scenario when you have to try to block something heavy like a baseball bat or 2x4. I work with 2x4's regularly when I'm building various martial arts machines and another factor to consider is just how sharp the edges are on a 2x4. A hit with any of the edges can do massive damage (cutting you like an edged weapon + the blunt trauma), and probably cut up his hands pretty badly too from the swing and the recoil.
@@taekwondotime it was a pine board and the edges were rounded off. i only wish i could show you what i was capable of back then. sadly, i got hit head on by a drunk driver back in 97. suffice it to say that i'm in no shape to practice MA's or much of anything else really. if it wasn't for the drunk driver, i'd probably still be practicing even now. those days are long since behind me and i try not to think about it too often. life goes on, of course. some days i wonder just how much life i have left in me. i may not be able to actually fight anymore but i still fight every day against those "bad thoughts" that try to invade my mind. so far i'm still kicking, just not as hard as i used to.
@@lonnierh0dgejr41 My Dad always used to say "getting older is no fun". I always used to tell him "it's better than the alternative". (The alternative of not getting older, ie: being dead.) He passed away last fall from a heart attack. Hang in there.
i trained in TKD for 15 years. i never used the reverse knife-hand low guarding block. if nothing else, you're exposing your thumb to injury. it also uses weaker muscles when actually blocking. from how the block it looks, it's probably expose you to rotator cuff injury as well.
put it in application with 100 different guys and have them do a low block... we can theorize a certain technique, but without real world application of it, it would be just it, a theory...
The ITF textbooks list the application of the technique as being a defence against a kick, for both versions of the knife-hand low guarding block.
@@taekwondotime You didn't address his comment at all. Skallagrim is a poor medieval youtuber because he likes to stand and talk and theorize. Your whole video seems to be you sitting and talking. We have tens of thousands of hours of that already. I can count the number of unnecessary pauses in your speech. Sitting and talking will not take you far.
@@RisetoStrength I did answer his question. He asked about the real world application. It's specified clearly in the ITF texts what the block is used for. (Or at least one of the applications of it.) In this video I'm sitting and talking. In most videos I'm doing. Ironically, I'd say we have mostly martial arts videos on UA-cam of people running through patterns, breaking boards, and doing flashy kicks at demonstrations. Nobody ever seems to sit down and actually talk through or reason about things. Yes, it would be nice to test these techniques on camera with someone but my father passed away last fall and right now it's hard doing the videos without him.
@@taekwondotime No, you didn't answer his question. What he asked is "are you going to test this, or are you going to sit here flapping your lips like every other fantasizing teenager?" Thanks.
@@RisetoStrength He actually didn't ask me a question at all. He made a statement. To paraphrase him: "We need to test it otherwise we'll never know what the application of it is." My response: According to the ITF, the application of it is to defend against a low kick. Therefore, we already know the answer. (Or at least one possible answer.)
I know this sounds crazy, but many of the “blocks” do more than block. Blocks also function as takedowns, holds, throws, and limb control. Many open hand techniques can represent how you are holding a limb. You’re not always stopping a linear strike with these techniques. Since you’re cutting down with the low double block you can drag an arm or even a neck downward.
Indeed, many of the blocks are also strikes! I think it's more appropriate to say that some of the blocks can lead into limb control, takedowns, and throws, but the primary purpose is still to defend against an incoming strike or attempted grab.
In Tang Soo Do we were taught all blocks are also strikes and open hands are also sweeping/deflecting moves and grabs as well.
Kickboxers disregard all taekwondo blocks as dangerous and ineffective. They just cover up or avoid, by moving out of the way, which is probably the best thing to do.
Moving out of the way is always the preferred option. Even some combination of moving + having the block there just in case. We think of blocking as a last resort. If you can't get out of the way then you have to protect yourself as best you can with a block.
Be it right or wrong, noting that most knife defense techniques being taught are more for show than actually functional. This block is used for a low thrusting knife attack. This will slightly re-direct the knife. By using the reverse knife hand, it is positioned to grab in addition to the opposite hand grabbing as well. From there, you can proceed to a Hapkido technique.
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'd like to see a diagram, picture, or demonstration showing this application because I'm skeptical. From what I see, you would be exposing the underside of your wrist to attack (which is even more dangerous if the attack is a knife).
The hand closest to your body can be also function as controlling a limb. This works really well with middle double knife block when you use the outer hand as a striking or pressing technique.
@@Epok17 When you say middle double knife block do you mean knife-hand guarding block?
it's because you have 1000 videos and almost all them have less than 70 views. The algorithm isn't trained to handle that many and probably logs them under extreme disinterest. Maybe spend some time archiving videos, get down to like your top 16, and maybe the algorithm will be able to process. also on subs, you gotta remember many of those people probably subbed years ago and maybe don't even use their accounts or youtube at all anymore. I have like 60 subs and I've never made a video. I doubt I'd get any views if I made one now, because none of those people are waiting for me. you could also try making a new account, condense your material, improve quality. maybe if you have a budget get someone who knows how to do this stuff to help signed, canadian spy, department of getting the taekwondo guy to ride the bus ps please ride the bus
Thanks for the feedback. I notice that the videos get views for about 48 hours after I upload them and then they stop getting views from that point on. It's almost as if YT is only showing people the two most recent videos that I upload and nothing else. (I tend to upload regularly, so after 48 hours it usually means that I've uploaded one or two new videos.) The subscriber count increased dramatically last year (from about 200 to where it is now). Then it stopped at 392 subscribers, and I lose a subscriber now for every one that I gain, so it's permanently stuck at a ceiling of 392, for whatever reason, leading me to believe that many of those aren't real people but probably just bots. If I delete older videos, I lose the views that I got from them, and my channel gets downgraded. Even when I mark videos as "private", I lose the views that I gained from them. When I made the red belt content private, I lost over 10,000 views. SocialBlade graded my channel from a C+ to a D- instantly. (It has since recovered.) The trouble is, unlike most YT content that is time-sensitive and time-relevant, my content has staying power. The videos I uploaded five years ago are still just as valid today. They don't "expire" like news does. I am in the process of reshooting much of the older content at higher quality but it just seems like nothing ever breaks through. I see other channels that have existed for all of one year and they upload similar videos to mine that get 50,000 views without breaking a sweat. It truly feels like YT is hiding my channel. No busses ever!!! lol ☺
I think YT must have shadow-banned my channel, and the only traffic I'm getting is coming from X and other social media platforms where I put my YT channel as a link. I think that's the only way people are finding my channel now. Nobody can find my channel through search or via any of the keywords.

Interesting point. However, it depends upon your height and your opponents height and where you are attempting to strike your opponent. My master instructor in Taekwondo had us do roundhouse punches at our opponents solar plexus at the centre of the chest level. If you chamber at the waist level at the rib cage then that's where you would be connecting with a punch. If you chamber at the pectoral level, then you would strike a punch to a taller person's face. In my training manual for wtf Taekwondo, they chamber at the waist level so the punch should connect at the opponents chest. If you chamber at the hips, your punch is a downward motion. I don't believe anyone would chamber from this position and attempt to strike a punch to the chest or head areas.
Thanks for replying. My thoughts: It doesn't matter what your opponent's height is. Starting the hand at the hip is always worse because if you chamber at the hips, everything is an upward motion, not a downward motion. That's bad. You lose both speed and power. Anyway, I've described all of this in the video. I'll put my instructor's punching technique up against any taekwondo school in the world.

Numerous deviations from (all) ITF version
That's not true. It's the ITF that deviated from their own book over time, not me. I'm doing the patterns as they were originally. Have a look at the older texts and you'll see. Choong-Moo is perhaps the only pattern that has any alterations at all thus far, and they're not really alterations, they're just correcting mistakes (broken techniques) that are in the book.
@@taekwondotime I disagree. I’m a grad of Chung oh’s TKD- 1983 to 1994 so I know the background here. I will say that Chung oh’s choong moo practiced during that era was pretty close to the 1965 condensed encyclopedia. There were minor differences - for example, how Chung oh did his reaction force with the left hand in move#2. Subsequent pattern modifications in later editions such as bending ready stances were done by Gen Choi - the creator of said pattern and founder of taekwondo on 11-April-55. I am now a member of the ITF under Choi Jung Hwa - Gen Choi’s only son and legacy. I am extremely proud of my training at Chung Ohs. I honestly believe he was an extremely competent martial artist and the foundation I received in taekwondo from his school was second to none. However, I’ve seen videos from Chung oh’s school in the 2000s and there has definitely been a change from when I was actively practicing under Chung Oh. I enjoy watching your channel because you demonstrate many training techniques that I used to do. It’s nice to see Chung oh’s (original) Ki Bon Hyung patterns again.
@@davidschranz9090 Congrats on being a former Chung Oh student! 🙂 I was there briefly as a kid in the early 1990's as well, before returning as an adult. You probably remember the location on King Street downtown with the big trampoline in the back room. The only thing I do differently is the jumping front snap kick and removing the spin on the flying knife-hand guarding block. Otherwise it's exactly how Chung Oh taught it. I keep track of pattern differences between Chung Oh's School and the book, and also any changes I make (which are extremely rare). Yes, I have all the original Ki-Bon patterns of Chung Oh's School in my pattern playlist. Thanks for watching. I try *really hard* to preserve Chung Oh's style of Taekwondo. All the fundamentals are definitely from Chung Oh. There are very few things where I decided to make it my own. Choong-Moo is actually the first pattern where I did anything differently than Chung Oh. Sam-Il is the other.
@@taekwondotime yes I know the old king street school very well. That long stair climb up to the third floor. Spent five hours a night there. I was there when Phillip Hollohan was the head instructor and later with Brad Borghese both of course under master Oh. Old school martial art instruction.
@@davidschranz9090 Yep. The long staircase straight up to the top. Two big training rooms with hardwood floors and high ceilings, with the heavy bag right in the middle, separating them. The back room area behind the change room was huge. That really was the heyday for taekwondo. The newer location on Duke street was greatly downsized, but that's where I trained my entire time as an adult. My first instructor was Brad Borghese. He was still there when I came back as an adult. Other notable instructors I had include: Rob McSaveny, Bruce Rush, James MacDonald, Perry Nicalou, John Howlett, and of course Inn Oh and Chung Oh. (Excuse the spelling on some of those.)
Curious as to why the three techniques changed? the running jumping side sick, jump twist guarding block and the angle of the backfist at the end? does it show it the way in early encyclopedia?
You are correct. The oldest books still describe the techniques as you've mentioned them. These are purely minor in-house changes/alterations to the pattern to put it right. (I know it's controversial when something isn't exactly by the book, but the book itself changes over the years too and the book also has mistakes in it.) 1. "Jumping" side kick from a running start is a mistake technique because the legs can easily get tangled mid-air. (A "flying" side kick is safe however, and is correct.) We never ever used a running jumping side kick at the club. ("Jumping" meaning one leg up before the other.) When kicking the heavy bag for example, we always did flying side kick. 2. As for the knife-hand guarding block, the twist actually runs counter to the motion of the block (turning left but blocking right), thereby taking all of the power out of the block, and doesn't add anything to the technique. The purpose/goal is to avoid a leg attack and a jump does that. Doing a 360 may be visually appealing, but it results in a poorer technique and a greater chance of failing. At the end of the day, the minimum technique that does the job is the preferred technique. Also, a lot of schools don't block with the lead hand. They just push it out there. We block with it. 3. Finally, the back-fist side strike is used because it gets around the opponent's guard and has more reach than a back-fist back strike. It's just a better all-around technique and gives greater range of motion. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching the channel. (I always encourage people to try it.)
