Hey Matt Try this link it should take you to a site with all your patterns ... But be careful learning stuff from vid. clips like these, they may have you doing things your instructor may not like ... I showed my head instructor these clips and he was not impressed at all ... Hope they work out for you.

So let me make this easier.
Matt, can you post your school's website again so people can see what type of tae kwon do you do? That way everyone would know what to recommend and the excuses could stop.
Back kick, forgive the frustration on my part if you can. Part of it stems from this armchair generalship I see in Tae Kwon Do. Everyone has their own way of doing it and everyone else's way of doing it is shit. You posted a link for Matt to review, and having seen what you posted your own instructor thought it was unimpressive? That makes me wonder why you'd choose something like that to post! "Here, Matt, my instructor thinks this is crap. Hope it helps!"
I find that kind of thing infuriating and selfish in the extreme. The only thing more absurd is that someone might be afraid to tread the thin ice of politics in tae kwon do because someone else might come looking for him (What do you do? Look up "Gran Fire" in the phone book?) for posting his own opinion. This is a forum, and it's supposed to be about sharing information and opinions. Opinions, gentlemen, are welcomed! No one here would ever boot you from an organization for stating an opinion. And if Matt can't learn what he wants to learn from the so-called seniors and more experienced people in his art, who the hell is he supposed to go to? Is he limited purely to his instructor? No sharing outside that?
If so, I'm damned glad I never got involved with such a group.
