Hi Paul - my question is about breath training in pomsae. How should we breathe? Are there general rules for how we should breathe as we perfrom strikes, kicksand blocks, or make the tranistions between positions? How much emphasis should it have?
Hi Paul, what do you think is the black belt equivalent in other sports like kickboxing or similar?( years of training) Is there martial art that is like taekwondo just without pomsae since today many focus too much on forms and little on practical things?
Hello Paul, I just came back to TKD after 16 years , I'm 28 years old and I'm 1st Dan black belt. My goal is to keep growing in the Dan system and maybe compete in poomsae in the future. I used to be good at Kyourugui when I was a kid but after all these years I've realized it has changed a lot and also me and my body have changed and now I'm not enjoying Kyourugui that much. Is it necessary to keep practicing Kyourugui to do the next Dan exams?.
I'm very new to taekwondo, so I've been practicing my side kicks a lot. I find that holds and exercises in that position are actually very uncomfortable on my next and traps. Is this a technique issue or do i just need to get more practice in?
I agree with you about hip rotation! I see that wt taekwondo "sport" create a lot of confusion in people. They think that thoese techinque can be usefull in an harmful contest. The sport can't be compared to shotakan, because also if we use a wider range for our hip rotation, the cost in terms of speed is so much that we are going to miss the shot. So, as you tell to is much better a closer hip, but with the goal to maxime the speed, won't it be harmfull? totally true, but it will be effective to score points. this is even the problem of modern taekwondo, we are missing the martial art techinques and we are building techinques that are only usefull to score points (monkey kicks, back hook kicks, clinch heel kicks etc...) Is this a real problem? Well, it is if we compare, like the guy did, taekwondo "sport" to karate martial art, because the sport is a sport and not a martial art, and if you fight in a sport competition like a martial artist you are going to loose. If you fight in a martial art competitions as a sport athlete, you are going to lose. In conclusion, i think that in future we are going to watch that Dojangs will splits taekwondo in even multiple roots. We will have taekwondo wt, we will have taekwondo martial art, we will have itf and goes on.
Im fairly new to taekwondo been doing it fo four months now and I was wondering how to can develop instinct for blocking counter attacking ect in a shorter amount of time without doing a large amount of sparring
A repost....if you would like to choose some questions or suggestions: Cool facts about the Judo uniform and intro to this weeks discussion, a suggestion I would have is to have a special guest added for a topic tuesday? via zoom? someone from master level who could speak on a specific topic or even one of your students that would have something to share without having to do zoom? whoever would show interest we could then adapt some questions accordingly to assist if needed, just an idea from outside the ring box... in the mean time do u have any favorite martial arts movies or actors that really highlight tae kwon do and has left a lasting impression? Hwang Jang-lee is mine and he also has old school kicking tutorials out there I find that are highly clever and watching his kicks via movie screen was like first experiencing Bruce Lee. 1

Maybe you've covered this, but I'd like more detailed instructions of how, as a tall opponent, to spar with shorter ones. thanks
Hello sir, I did already respond to this in one of the older episodes. I can't remember which one it was.
