I have a general question for those that have attended the Kukkiwon Instructors Course (or have been instructed by someone that knows the current methods).
In the WTF poomsae ki exercises (cross block in 6, fist in hand in 7 and fist to hand in koryo) what is the count for the movements. Some of my students who recently attended a seminar said it was supposed to be the number of seconds for the number of the pattern (so yuk-jang's one takes 6 seconds, chil-jang's takes 7 seconds).
I've viewed the Kukki-Taekwondo DVDs and the GM on there does nowhere near 7 seconds. The Kukkiwon textbook doesn't specify it (and it is normally very specific on everything else).
Any ideas?
Also, two other specific points:
In Pal-jang, what are you grabbing when you do the slow uppercut?
In Chil-jang, for the ki exercise is it fist wrapped in hand or fist and hand separated by a tiny amount (close but not touching)?
Thanks,
Andy
