Form: TAEGEUK SA JAHNG
“Thunder” - FJN. Thunder is energy which emanates from the heavens and reaches down to the earth in a fury that is seldom matched by any force of nature. Taegeuk four should be performed with the following in mind: seek the shortest path to the desired goal but do not lose the ability to react to surrounding influences. Speed will be developed only after you strengthen your muscles. Tension form practice will be excellent for developing explosive and dynamic movements. Relaxation is a key to speed during motion. When executing techniques at full speed, you should only tighten your muscles the instant before reaching the intended target.

TENANTS: All of the five Tenants of Tae Kwon Do should be known to the student at this belt level. The student may be asked to give a personal example or interpretation of any of the five Tenants of Tae Kwon Do during testing.
Two-Step Sparring: EE BOH DE RHAN
This drill is similar to Il Boh De Rhan with the difference being that the attacker will attack a second time after the defender has executed a defense. The attacker will step forward to a left front stance and execute a left punch while the defender would be able to block and counter to the second attack. The second defense should be different than the first. This drill simulates a failure of the first defense to stop the attacker. Too often, this is the case in the real world and the student would need to react with a defense against a second attack.

Board Breaking

REQUIRED BOARD BREAK:
3-Station Board Break consisting of 3 kicks:

1 right round kick
1 left round kick
1 jump kick technique

Points to Concentrate on when practicing the three station break:

During execution of the kicking techniques, the student may perform one non-contact “set-up” for each station.
Careful attention should be paid to the placement of the 3 stations so that the entire presentation “flows” together.
LOUD Ki-Yap!
