Form: TAEGEUK UK JAHNG
“Water” - GAM Like water, Taegeuk six is seemingly supple and conforming yet it has the ability to move mountains. The movements are performed like the nature of water: occasionally standing as still as a lake, moving as fast as a racing river, or exploding outward as a crashing wave. 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

REQUIRED BOARD BREAK:

4 Station Break consisting of 3 kicks and 1 upper body technique (elbow strike, knife-hand strike or punch):

1 Station Right Kicking Technique (Adult 2 Boards)
1 Station Left Kicking Technique (Adult 2 Boards)
1 Station Jump Kicking Technique
1 Station Upper Body Technique

This board break should be done in a combination fashion. All of the techniques should be completed in a flowing fashion within 15 seconds.

Points to Concentrate on when Practicing Breaking Combinations:

The set-up and positioning of the board is important so that all of the techniques are properly spaced and the entire break flows from one technique to another.
The student should be focusing their concentration on the break at hand and move quickly to the next station, regardless if the break was successful.
Loud Ki-Yap on ALL STATIONS!
