Hello all,
At the school where I teach we use the Chon-Ji, Tan-gun, To-san, etc forms. I have found that giving the students examples of how to extract parts of their forms and apply them gives the student a much better feeling and motivation to learn forms.
I was hoping that in this thread people might post practical application examples that they have used to convey a better understanding of the forms (or parts of the forms) to their students.
For example - we show how the first 3 moves of Won-Hyo can be used to defend against a double grab to the throat or chest.

- As the attacker grabs the defenders hands come together and up through the attackers arms.
- The double blocks cause enough seperation of the attackers arms to allow the defender to then strike to the attackers throat with the knifehand strike.
- The defender cups the attackers neck long enough to keep them in position for the side punch.
