they guy in the red hat shows poor control. I think he just about knocks one of his own students out, LOL. I like the videos though. Love watching these types of things.

for his level I just wanted to give an example of what it would look like. He'll get corrections from his instructor. I agree, it's not perfect, but that wasn't my point of posting it.

The basic forms are Kicho Hyung Il Bu, E Bu and Sam Bu. They follow the exact same "pattern" (turns and steps), but obviously different techniques at each position. Soo Bahk Do uses these three basic forms, all pyung ahn forms and all of the Chil Sung forms. You also need to know Naihanji Cho Dan and Passai. There are also Yuk Ro forms, but I don't know any of these yet (and I think they are considered more advanced Dan forms, but i'm not there and not totally sure). Hope that helps.

Check this out (if you haven't seen this): http://www.astralwerks.com/chemical/media.html on the right side, scroll down and select "Get Yourself High". It's a music video and you need sound... heh.

The form is called "Kicho Hyung Il Bu". TSD Y049 gave you the steps for it. It follows an "I" pattern. http://natkd.com/movies/NATKD_Forms/Kicho1.wmv will show you the basic form. We are usually told to have our stances lower than this, but at least it will show you the moves. It says Tae Kwon Do, but this is the same as the SBD form. Enjoy.

That alone tells me there is no reason to do it... but if you feel you don't deserve it, it may be better for yourself mentally to do it again. I would take the test again. This way you can remove all doubt.

It probably follows the path the Eternal Rage has posted above.

From what i read it doesn't look like Hapkido. http://www.hapmudo.net/hapmudo.html reads more like someones "new" version of Jeet Kune Do... heh. (meaning this style is taking things it likes and finds useful from a bunch of other styles) I've never heard of it until this post. Just going by the description from that site.

Don't get me wrong, I know you can get hurt (I had 2 ribs broken during free sparring), but what I was getting at was a method that may not be right for her level of experience. I would have the same concerns if my son was doing this. There is a difference though between training accidents and improper training methods. IMO (and it's just my opinion), kids shouldn't be hitting heavy bags and props at a beginner stage (emphasis on heavy).

It wouldn't work like that in my dojang. In the kids class they use the focus paddles for kids. They are much more forgiving than a stand up bag or a heavy bag. During that time my Sa Bom teaches them how to use a proper fist (and he's tells them this ENDLESSLY, it must be a common thing with kids). One of the other things that is taught to beginners is a palm strike. Less chance of hurting themselves while they strengthen their hands AND their technique. If she hits that thing wrong, with her wrist out of alignment, she will eventually hurt herself. I've hurt myself, and I know better. Her chance is higher. Last of all, the callouses and tougher skin will come with time. The skin on her hands and feet will toughen up. Sounds like this thing is canvas? You said vinyl, which would be more like a floor burn, but I could be wrong (canvas is nasty to untrained hands and feet). IMO, I don't think kids should be pounding solid bags and equipment. I think of those developing joints and it makes me cringe.

I lift weights on MWF in the afternoon, class days are Tues-Thurs-Sat. I always practice MA in the mornings before I go to work so I get technique stuff in fresh in the morning, every day. Yeah, on class days it's a kindof a double workout, but in the mornings I practice what I want to, and use class to learn and workout with a partner. You have to find what works out for you and your schedule.

[edit] cause I jsut realized this is in the wrong thread, LOL, sorry about that. Please ignore my other post.

Maybe describe teh technique in detail. Maybe it is related to what other already do...

once or twice. I usually show them wrist locks and ho sin sool (self defense) stuff. People like to see the quick and decisive or immobilizing techniques.

Always finish what you start. Patience and that there are no shortcuts. Tension is your enemy... in basically everything, MA or not. You're not as bad as you think you are, but you're also not as good. Humility. Don't dwell on your mistakes and think in the moment. Every time you take action, it is a victory, regardless of the outcome (I'm still working on this one, I spend too much time thinking about my mistakes).
