How does a kyung ful martial artist judge a korean pattern?

haha, like that last post but anyway. This month I was at a TKD/TSD tourney and it was hard for forms. We had 4 TSD judges. And since we're all in the same federation there are no differences in our forms so they know exactly when we screw up even in the slightest even if we cover it. A TKD guy won our division. And I'm not knocking him at all. he was a very gracious winner and could very possibly had the best form. But our judges wouldn't have known if he screwed up or not. It is frustrating but I guess you've just gotta accept it.

Leave MMA aside, just wushu itself already has many complication. A complusory routine is much more easy to judge as most judges had gone thru the course and we mark by spoting mistakes.

 

When it comes to Traditional Forms, OMG... for southern art there are Hung Mok Choy Lee Lau. Each family has their unique pattern. Although as judges, for trad routines we judge by 4 cat: Force & Power, Correct Posture, Coordination, Spirit.

 

But not all judges are well verse in northern & southern art, especially the newer batch, which mainly gone thru the contemp wushu training...

 

So, as much as the event planner wish to make things look fairer, individual participants should understand that fairness in not in the dictionary of subjective performance competition.

 

Do not be blind by points. Winning yourselve is more important
