Truestar Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I just started this form Tuesday...it's my favorite so far although I've heard other people say they thought it was "boring". Very fast paced and a hard form, I plan on working on it at home today and maybe in class tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaddensinn Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm personally not a fan of wall forms myself, I just don't find them that challenging to learn or perform, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Poe Eun is an ok form. There are a lot of little things to work on in it. You really have to work on the pacing of it, too. If you go too fast, it can get sloppy. You have to find that balance of quickness of technique, pace, and time between techniques to make it look sharp.Do you do it with the sine wave? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Po Eun is ok. Out of the three we learn for 1st dan I'd say it was my least favourite but its still a good form. Quite difficult to do in tournaments (and gradings etc.) because its forward facing all the time. The slightest mistake gets easily picked up.

Truestar Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 bushido_man: We don't use the sine wave no.DWx: I see what you mean, the slightest mistake is easily seen, and sometimes not easily fixable, especially with the desired pace of the form.

bushido_man96 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 bushido_man: We don't use the sine wave no.Neither does our school. From what I've seen of the sine wave in forms, it doesn't allow for a lot of power or combination movement to be done. I prefer to do it without. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truestar Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 I saw a sine wave Po-Eun on Youtube and thought it looked sloppy, then again people perform it differently so it could have been the practitioner.I've never tried the sine wave either, I've only observed it.

bushido_man96 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I've seen it, and although I have not been "shown" how to do it, I have tried to mess with it a bit, and I don't think I would like it. It just kills my ability to make powerful combinations in a form. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I like it but then again I've been taught it since I started so its just natural to me. At the moment I train at the uni club where I don't do sine wave but stilll do the odd session back home where I do use sine wave. It is just really weird and much less powerful for me to do it without.A lot of the videos you see on Youtube are either tournaments where people overkill the sine wave to make it more pronounced, or sometimes you get videos of people who don't use a "proper" sine wave. (Am now going to hunt for videos of a good sine wave )Think this is a decent example, sine wave isn't bouncing around, its just a case of relaxing the stance and trying to use more mass.

ps1 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 It reminds me of the tekki forms of shotokan. A big difference is that we do not do sine movements. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
