With all the sorrow it is to me I want to tell you something that piss me off. Don't know why when students put on the gear and do kyorugi they punch and kick like mean it BUT when they do one steps or self defense techs thay don't want to TOUCH (hit with a reasonable force just to make sure the tech is efectiove), grab, twist,lock, sweep or what ever to his/her classmate.
I even ask the students to wear the hogu and helmet to make them confy about to perform the techs the right way, to enough force to make clear the techs can work.
I told the guys we don't need to break an arm or a rib or a nose to make clear the tech works but if we do the techs slopy or lazy or very gently when we need them on the street we can be kill by the agresor because the old saying...As you tarin you fight... as you figh you train....
I really don't get it, the students does not want to put enough in the self defense aplications, when I perfoem the techs with one of them I teach the moves with effort,timing and acuracy using the force enough to maybe just create some disconfort but never to harm.
What's going on with the people these days? I don't want to know what would be of these students if they had to learn tkd with my former sambonim (at Jido Kwan), because my ex-master always used good tech to teach and always demanded control but with force the techs.
