  • Day one on the Taekwondo mats... Here are the three blocks you would learn! High block, Middle block, and Down/Low block. Despite the simplicity, these are effective techniques to protect yourself. Let's look at how to improve these blocks!👊

    The motions seems to be simple, but doing this with right move, speed, power, twist and position are so difficult to accomplish!!! Will keep training hard!!! Cheers 🥋

    But as you mentioned hip power at the end, the way i learned the blocks I learned to actually step in and pivot your ankle and knee inward, your arm lands the block the same time your foot lands. Just like in boxing when your punch in accordance with your footwork and pivot your leg as you punch to put bodyweight into it.

      Yes combining that with the hip as well is good! Trying to keep the basics blocks video a little ‘basic’ haha…

    You need to tie these various blocks in with their various optimal stances so that people can see how those stances work in conjunction with those blocks for maximum efficacy.

    • @taekwondoshawn

    Not the TKD I teach or was taught.... SO much Not being mentioned I don't even know where to start. I just wish you guys would take the time to invest into the 15 vol set of TKD by Gen Choi, the Founder of TKD. Too much like Karate but whatever

      @larry b I encourage you to make your own video explaining what he didn't cover. It's easy for you to sit behind your keyboard and berate this guy for giving a brief explanation of more than one blocking technique. I would say "with all due respect" but I find it hard to respect anyone who goes into a comments section to tell someone who had enough guts and love for his art to give a brief instructional on his hobby that he is leaving out too much.
      You remind me of the old joke:
      "How many black belts does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer: 100. 1 to actually change the lightbulb and 99 to gripe about how the 1 guy who actually changed the lightbulb "did it wrong" or "didn't have the right technique" or "didn't do it the way some other master does it".

      @@jkdbuck7670 As I said It's NOT the TKD I was taught or teach. As far as a video.... Just stepping and punching is a VERY complex move. SO Many moving parts to do it right. Eyes, hands, feet, breath, hips, sing wave, action reaction, back before forward, knee spring action, NO TENSION until impact. ALL of that done together AND Stopping together. But I'll see what I can do

    • @taekwondoshawn
      @taekwondoshawn  2 роки тому +1

      Starting at the hip, and pulling back to the hip while practicing allows you to generate your 100% power with no shortcuts. Pulling back to your hip allows you to put all your power into the other hand for the strike or block.
      In a practical sense, you wouldn’t do this! But we practice the full technique enough so we can still generate power with a shortened version in a pinch. 😉
