BLACK BELT PRINCIPLES – 1ST DAN


1. Block first, then attack

  • Block first, then strike or kick

2. Block and attack at the same time

  • Block and stike or kick connects simultaneously

3. Attack as your opponent attacks (no block)

  • Your strike or kick connects before opponent reaches you

  1. Block and attack and prepare to kick

  • Block, stirke, chamber leg without kicking. From the movement you can transition into a: leg block, reaping throw, kick, or close the gap to the opponent.

  1. Follow my power direction

  • Use a flowing spinning movement combined with any attack or block that you may choose

  1. Block with the body

  • Strong solid block based on the spirit or power forms such as Chulgi or ChipSoo

  1. Block without moving the feet

  • Used when unable to move and avoid. An excellent development for the reflexes.

  1. Block with the hands on the belt

  • Hold the belt and block your midsection only by using the surface area of the arm for blocking

  1. Swing block

  • Smooth flowing block using a circular deflection action to produce a soft style block. This principle is the opposite of "block with the body". The "swing block" comes from the circular movements of the Korea martial art called "Tae Kyon".

  1. Block with the leg

  • Blocking with the foot as well as the leg. Blocking with the leg uses the shin area to block kicks. To use this principle effectively may require some conditioning to toughen the shin and lower leg areas.
