ZeRo Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 i found a little site that shows all the patterns up to Kwang-gae. hope you like it. http://www.mindspring.com/~kmai/kmai_students_3.html tell me what you think.
Bretty101 Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Looks good to me! Would be very helpful when learning the basic moves of a new pattern. But you'd need an instructor to help you fine tune everything. And all the patterns are the same as the ones i do (ITF). Bretty
ZeRo Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 yeah, it is a good tool for revising from but not learning from.
KickChick Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 As far as diagrams go and step-by-step description of movements....that site is good .... IMO this one is better http://www.karate-kids.com/lesson3.htm Each form is hyperlinked to a page whereby you can print out and have at your disposal in which to practice, practice, practice........
ZeRo Posted February 26, 2003 Author Posted February 26, 2003 hay kickchick wouldnt that be good for you? so you can practise your pattern you were having trouble with?
KickChick Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I like the "visual" better. Although I do have the book The Complete Tae Kwon Do Hyung by Hee Il. Cho ... which is even better and helpful, I would prefer the "visual" flow of seeing the forms performed.... hearing the breathing, the tempo & snap of each movement--- something you are not obviously going to get from a written page. Agree?
ZeRo Posted February 26, 2003 Author Posted February 26, 2003 yeah agreed. i like to see it performed to.
CjBurns Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 I agree I think the visual is good if you have an understanding of where you are going with each movement. I could be a good tool for an instructor to use.
hiya Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 i found a little site that shows all the patterns up to Kwang-gae. hope you like it. http://www.mindspring.com/~kmai/kmai_students_3.html tell me what you think. The definitions could be improved, they are incomplete and I would not recommend testing with them. In the patterns themselves I saw no refference to stepping or on-the-spot movements; I saw no indication of continous, connecting or fast motions. Some steps between moves are feet to feet or half step, but it didnt tell you that either. I really dont see any value in this reference. You cant learn from it, you cant study from it. Sorry to sound negative, JMHO.
ZeRo Posted March 16, 2003 Author Posted March 16, 2003 its not for learning from, its like a study aid, a revision guide if you will. you cant learn the pattern from them but you can revise a pattern that is rusty in your head. JMO
