Form: TAEGEUK O JAHNG
“Wind” - SEON Wind tends to be gentile by nature, blowing trees and grasses, however, in its rage, wind has the power to destroy towns and cities. Taegeuk five should be performed in this light with flowing elegance, while containing the ability to cause mass destruction with a single movement. In order to develop good hand techniques, you should pay attention to the position of both hands with every technique. Particular attention should be paid to pulling the second hand back close to the side of the body with the palm facing upwards. Practice these points diligently.

Board Breaking

3-Station Board Break consisting of 3 kicks.

REQUIRED BOARD BREAK:

1 Right Leg Kicking Technique (Adults 2 Boards)
1 Left Leg Kicking Technique (Adults 2 Boards)
1 Jump Kicking Technique

This board break should be done in combination fashion, all of the kicking techniques must be combined to simulate a combative situation. All three of the kicking techniques should be completed within 10 seconds.

Points to Concentrate on when practicing the kicking techniques:

The set-up and positioning of the board is extremely important to allow for continuous movement between kicking techniques. See your instructor for help in this area.
When one kicking technique is completed, the student must immediately switch their attention to the next station break, regardless if the first station break actually broke or not.
LOUD Ki-Yap And good attitude!
