Requirement To Score In Upgrading

Phase 1- Understand the characteristics of the form- Learn the overall pattern of the form- Learn the individual movements and integrate them into the form's pattern

Phase 2- Focus on breathing, tension / relaxation and power control- Concentrate on the rhythm of the form- Practice with a sense of awareness and realism

Phase 3-The final step would be to evaluate the form in its totality, much like a painter stands back to look at his art from a distance. This perspective deals with the overall composition of the form and should consider three things: Line, Speed, and Beauty.

Line -线
is about extension. It is characterized by longer stances and techniques extended within their full range of motion, rather than short, restricted movements. It is also about solid stances and smooth transition from one position to the next.

Beauty- 美
is the overall impression you create with your interpretation of the perfect form. It is a feeling experienced by the performer and transferred to the observer. Like a painting, if the audience felt or saw your inspiration, it's presentation would be considered successful.

Speed- 速
is best reflected by variation in timing of directional movements as well as the speed of the techniques themselves. Avoid static, predictable timing between techniques. Some movements will be executed individually and others in combinations with varied timing. Some moves are explosive and others more relaxed and contemplative.

Basic Terminology










i could say it is like "killing two birds with one stone" because as you learn the beautiful Art, you still get the chance to learn some Korean Language. There will be no fear the next time when you communicate with a Korean friend. Thoes terminology are for your reference and better understanding when you are in the class. This is also useful for your coming upgrading if you are asked. So if you are clever enough please take note. Most of the terminology are adapted from the websites also. You can also find those terminology in the related websites.
