i have uploaded a clip of mine in youtube, Gae-Baek,

i hope to see yours soon

That's a nice strong pattern.

I agree.

Although, I must say, that in all of the TKD patterns I am seeing online, I can say that I have never done that sine wave movement. I think it causes the techniques to be individualized too much, and makes the forms look rather choppy.

Just my opinion, though.

Ok, bear with me here. As you take off, thrust the takeoff knee up and into your trunk as violently and fast as you can. As you do that, the jumping leg will kind of trail behind, but not tucked really tight. Then, as you finish pulling your knee up into you, thrust that side kick out as fast and violently as you can, and at the same time, bring the trailing leg up to chamber and twist kick out as well. Turn your body away from the side kick, and towards the twist kick, making the side kick more like a back kick that (like a blind kick).

I hope that helps you some. Kind of hard for me to explain, so I hope it isn't too jumbled! Let me know if that helps some. I will play with the kick some more when I get back to training as well.

Will try this tonight. Thanks for actually telling me the stages where my legs need to be. So far everyone at ttraining has told me where I start and where I finish but not the inbetween bits.

I have also been told to lean towards the twisting kick when in the air if I can't get my hips to rotate fully to do the twisting part. Does you know if this works or at what angle does everyone keep their torso?

[bushido_man96]

You are welcome for the explanation. I hope it works out for you.

I think most people tend to lean towards that twist kick, and it opens up the hips some, kind of like you are doing the side splits while stretching on the floor.

I don't do this kick often, and I am not overly flexible. However, I can somewhat do it. It is not my best kick, but I do feel that I am technically sound enough to know how to perform it. Like I noted earlier, sometimes I like to set up two standing bags and practice kicking between them, either from a running start, or by jumping and spinning. Both will work.

I suppose it depends how you do it. I've seen examples where people have over-exaggerated it way to much, they just bob up and down constantly. However, I have seen other people perform using sine wave and it look completely natural.

thats a nice one that does use sine wave

this one exaggerates it a little more but its still ok I guess.

Thanks for the help just gotta practice now

the canadian do the Moon-Moo very well, i love this pattern~~~~~~~

This one here is pretty subtle. Those slow spinning heel kicks are pretty wicked, too. I would have to practice a lot on those! Hmm, maybe I will start.

I agree; slightly more exaggerated. However, not too bad. Like I mentioned, though, the presence of the sine wave motion does slow down the amount of time between what I would consider to be combination techniques, like the down block/palm heel strikes at the end of the form.

That guy did have great technique, though. I'd love to have that side kick! The other kicks in his form lacked the pizzazz of that side kick, I noticed.

I never learned sine wave, but each time I see it it just looks too exaggerated for me...I think you can have plenty of power without all of that upper body movement.

If I ever joined a school that did it, though, I would just adapt...in the end, I don't think it's right or wrong, just different.

Good information on the scissor kick...I hope to do a break with it so I'm starting to work on it. Flexibility and getting enough height are the main things I'm working on now -- just need lots more practice.
