Jinto/ Chinto

Interesting thing happened in class tonight...

apparently, CJN Kim wants us to change the first stance in the form (the high X-block) from sa go rip jaseh to hugul jaseh. Apparently, at some time in the past, before I learned the form, it was hugul jaseh, and then they changed it to sa go rip jaseh to emphasize the foot stomp. Well, now it's back to hugul jaseh.

What is it for all yinz?
 
The ITF foot stomp :) JT, tell me if I am wrong, but it seems there is a focus on foot positioning and stepping in many ITF forms...

In my school it is Fugal jaseh.
 
Well the other day I finished learning all the moves to the hyung. WOW! Doing all those turns and stuff on foot is a bit hard. I still really enjoy it tho, I love challenges. And we do the So ko rip jaseh at the beginning.

Hah. Yeah, we love foot stomps. Wherever we can put them, we'll make them at least optional.

And yeah, there's a lot of focus on foot position. Your feet are your base, after all. A lot of ho sin sul only works right if you have a good stance. A lot of everything only works if you have a good stance. A big focus of training is making sure you know what you're doing, how you're doing it, and making every move intentional at some level (muscle memory helps a lot with the attention load).
