Training Secrets 
 

Students should keep in mind the following secrets whilst practicing Taekwon-Do:

 

1.       To study the theory of power thoroughly.

 

2.       To understand the purpose and meaning of each movement clearly.

 

3.       To bring the movement of eyes, hands, feet and breath into a single coordinated action.

 

4.       To choose the appropriate attacking tool for each vital spot.

 

5.       To become familiar with the correct angle and distance for attack and defence.

 

6.       Keep both the arms and legs bent slightly while the movement is in motion.

 

7.       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.

 

8.       To create a sine wave during the movement by utilizing the knee spring properly.

 

9.       To exhale briefly at the moment of each blow except in connecting motion.
