Form: TAEGEUK SAM JAHNG
“Fire” - RJ Taegeuk three flashes with the energy of fire. Like fire, the techniques of this form should be done in an almost rhythmic fashion with occasional bursts of energy. Balance is an important part of your training, so pay attention to detail elements. Solid sole – keep your heel down on the floor, body position – keep your body as upright as possible while kicking. Remember, reaching high is secondary, the most important quality of kicking is proper technique and balance. Hand position – keep your hands in guard position while kicks are being performed, eye contact – keep your eyes on the target before, during, and after execution of each technique.

Form: Individual Action
Attitude is one of the most important aspects you should display when you practice your forms. All achievers have one thing in common, they have a “yes, I can” attitude. If you say “I can’t”, you have defeated yourself and you didn’t even try. Everybody is afraid of failing. Look at failing as one step closer to success rather than as an ending.
Free Sparring
Free sparring should be done to exhibit proper technique for the green belt level. Each student should demonstrate their knowledge and skill of various techniques while using the control of no contact to light contact. Emphasis during testing should be on higher level techniques, utilizing many turning and spinning kicks and combinations of kicks and hand techniques which begin to flow together.

Board Breaking

REQUIRED BOARD BREAK:
Jump Back Turning Side Kick (Left or Right, student’s choice) -- Twieo DioRo Drat Yeop Chagi

Points to Concentrate on when practicing the three station break:

When kicking, the knee must come up as high as the intended target during the jump.
When jumping, both feet should leave the ground at the same moment, from a deep fighting stance, and the body should jump TOWARDS the intended target. The actual kick should be done from memory and one should not be looking at the target at the moment the foot contacts.
