The student doesn't know. He was hoping somebody on the subreddit had heard of these.
This question is posted to the taekwondo subreddit, but I thought somebody here might know the answer. A student is being told that his school...
I wrote the software myself sir. It's not trivial to use, but it's not impossible to learn either. I released previous versions as Open Source,...
I think the most practical application of the Double Knifehand Block is to fight Bruce Lee in the Roman Coliseum. [IMG]
Thank you sir! That video was shot in the school I attend (Majest Martial Arts in Sterling Virginia). The performer is Dong-Jin Kim, a former...

I think I see. So you're not referring to T7 specifically, but really all the Kukkiwon forms? I.e., Kukkiwon textbook doesn't explain how the...
How do you mean? The lack of reference to the stance? Your point about it being something other than a block intrigues me, and I'd like to...
Also, you would think that at least some schools would teach a "grabbing" motion with the supporting hand as part of the chamber for the block...
Sadface. I was hoping to see more activity on this thread, because I have the same question. What's the idea behind "supported" blocks and strikes...

The ones I've used have two buttons in the thumb area, and one at the trigger finger. But otherwise they look like that.
I can't find a photo of that either. I've used it before. I actually like it. I think that system is called Ringmaster? It's only used in smaller...
Just on the topic of cleaning generally. My understanding (based on a few year of college chemistry) is this: Enzymatic cleaners are often sold...

Largely true, yes. I'm not positive about this, but I think age of the hogu and sensors plays a role too. A new hogu is stiffer, worn batteries...
Probably what happened in the previous post is that the transmitter that was supposed to go into the helmet went into the hogu, and vice versa. A...
It's not just the sensors, it's also the transmitters. Each ring will have several sizes of hogus available. If a size 4 fighter enters the ring,...
I believe they're usually called Judge's Boxes (even when they're not actual boxes). Whether you have electronic hogu or not, the judges still...
The ref is supposed to prevent this by having each opponent tap the other in the chest before the match, to confirm that the correct sensor is in...
