Student Information: Home
Section I: Training Tips Forms are attacking and defensive movements which follow a predetermined sequence. Each patter is in actuality a simulated fight, designed to enable a person to practice fight multiple opponents without breaking the technique and balance necessary to deliver effective blows. Although all the forms are different, and increasingly more complicated as you advance in rank level, there are certain basic elements common to all:
1. Patterns should begin and end at exactly the same spot, as this will indicate the performer's accuracy. 2. Correct posture must be maintained at all times. 3. Muscles of the body should be either tense or relaxed at the proper time in the exercise. 4. The exercise should be performed in a rhythmic movement with an absence of stiffness. 5. Movement should be accelerated or decelerated according to the instructions of the instructor. 6. Each pattern should be perfected before moving to the next. 7. Students should know the purpose of each movement. 8. Students should perform each movement with realism. 9. Attack and defense techniques should be equally distributed among right and left hands and feet. |

Section II: One-steps One step sparring is designed to help you coordinate your techniques into a block and counter attack patter. This is actually a simulated fight, as are the forms, but in this case you have tow persons, one the aggressor and one the defender. Opponents begin by facing each other in a ready position. The aggressor yells steps forward with a right hand punch toward the defender's solar plex. The defender then blocks the punch and uses one of the prearranged techniques. Both the defender and aggressor return to the ready position, and resume the patter, with the defender as the aggressor. |
