This guy performs as well as any of the Korean ITF teams out there (those teams tend to execute better, being in their homeland under the watchful eye of a greater number of people close to the source, having the instant feedback of their team captain and each other, etc.)

Well, that’s my two cents on the matter. You guys make sure you enjoy any resulting catfights. Peace.

Well the best advice would be to listen and learn from his instructor as any thing he finds on the net may not be what he is being taught in class and will pick up bad habits trying to follow some vid. clip. And Mike I was trying to say that is not the form I was taught so depending on what his club teaches he should stay away from the net to learn ... I am very picky when it comes to patterens as my head instructor received his first dan from General Choi and is now a 7th dan and still teaches the same patteren he was taught

About a year ago, I ran accross some footage of Jhoon Rhee doing this very form. His stances were way wider. His executions are flawless and he is of the Choi school (their particular forms). I'll see if I can track it down.

It's kind of ironic, if I remember correctly, one of the opening moves in Choi's Tae Kwon Do forms symbolize peace. Here we have a martial brother seeking our help, and yet all some, who supposedly practice Choi version forms, all they can do is criticize or make excuses for not helping one of their own. Not very admirable.

Mike, for what it's worth, I want to thank you for how consistently you come through in these types of things for others you don't even know.

i thank you should look at last video

Well, I don't have the Quick Time player on this computer....

The description reads similar to my old form, of course terminology throws me off a bit as well. hard to believe it all goes by the same name....

i thank you should look at last video

I is it was as easy as to just what the instructor thinks.

is it Poomse or Hyong....is it ITA WTF ATA ITF or something we have yet to hear about....the Dan Gun I learned coming up through the ranks is very much different from the on I am teaching now and looked nothing like the on Mike found, and I am not talking execution. Unless you are an advanced student, watching forms that are not your own is IMHO rather confusing...

lol, this will be one of those things where every instructor thinks any video by another instructor is crap unless they have trained with them personally. Reminds me of when i did karate.

I think all this, "thats not how we do it" is a bit daft.
If everyone does it differently then it doesnt really exist does it. i mean thats just common sense.

[matbla]

good replys here

[matbla]

thank you!!!

OK first of all Mike I posted that I have never found any GOOD vid. clips of patterns on the net and you say no one is willing to try and help this guy and then I post a site with clips but tell him that they not that good and so you say I am posting crap ???? You are not a TKD guy so why don't you crawl back under what ever rock you came from and leave it alone ... We have said more then once that it is not a good idea to try and learn from these style of vid. clips every one teaches a little different and his instructor may not like what he learns from something like this ... You seem to like to start shit and I don't understand why ??? I never put down anyones teachings or style ... I am trying to help him by telling him to listen and learn in class not off the net ...

[back kick]

Mike no one said they would not help him I posted earlier that I would give him a link when I got home from work and have done so ... The only point we are making is it depends on his club and he may pick up bad habits watching these clips ... I know I did when I found the site and then it takes time and training to get rid of them ... Hope that link works for you Matt ...

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.

Minus the General, it is right up there to what I am thinking. I am part time instructor, mostly kids and it is incredible hard to undo something that has been practiced - not wrong but different. Not knowing the OPs affiliation I dare not pull up any video clips. And even if they are what he is learning, some instructors are very particular on how they are executed. As much ego and politics is involved, it's a thin ice I don't care to tread on. But I don't hold it against the OP who is trying to soak up as much as he can about his new found passion.
