Only one guy and two women came last night to dojang, sabonim was out and this lefth me with the dojang for my own, so I jumped in the old kwan wagon stuff, firsth I gave the students a little speech where I told them I knew their lack of techs (basically the advanced ones) because's dojangs curriculum was chopped down in some point but it was my clear intention to teach the things they don't know and make an effort to them.
So basically we began with the basics: stances, blocks, etc and then we proced to hand techs and their aplications, we did han-sonnal mok chigi, batan-son chigi, me-chumock chigi and the clasical slap to the face that I love to teach because in some point a good slap to the face locate to the ear can be very efective.
The students were impresed because they saw their hand techs can be even more powerful (aplying the torque) than the single reverse punch.
To finish the class we pocus in the three basic kicks but using only a small focus mitt at solar plexus to do trusting ap-chagis and yop-chagis and then using the focus mitt at tigh level perform dollyo-chagis aimed to this part or the body so painfull. The students realiced that a low kick can be very devastating to not only disrupting the basis of the oponent but to destroy the tigh muscle and delivery permanent pain.
The two women noticed that even their lack of upper strenght they can use their feet to put down a man using the correct technike.
I really liked the class because I taught the small class to use TKD as a tool to defend themselves and not only to win madals or trophies.
