Training Secrets of Taekwon-Do

Students should keep in mind the following secrets:

  • To study the theory of power thoroughly.
  • To understand the purpose and method of each movement clearly.
  • To bring the action of eyes, hands, feet and breath into one single coordinated action.
  • To choose the appropriate attacking tool for each vital spot.
  • To become familiar with the correct angle and distance for attack and defence.
  • Keep both the arms and legs bent slightly while movement is in motion.
  • All movements must begin with a backward motion with very few exceptions. However, once the movement is in motion it should not be stopped before reaching the target.
  • To create a sine wave during the movement by utilizing the knee spring properly.
  • To exhale briefly at the moment of each blow except in a connecting motion.
