Fun with Hyungs

The 10th video challenge in the series is designed for conceptual thinkers. Hyung translates as "form, pattern or frame". "Sinawali" from the Filipino Martial Arts is a repeating pattern of techniques generally done utilizing sticks. Why not combine the concepts of these "patterns" together by taking the basic World Tang Soo Do Association hyung and turning it into a Sinawali stick pattern. This was a lot of fun to develop and is a student favorite. Enjoy!

Triple Challenge!!! The 9th video challenge in the series has three variants each increasing in difficulty. Challenge 1 - The first challenge in this video has the student working on starting and ending the form on the same point. Challenge 2 - Increases the difficulty by hitting a specific random point in the form before returning to their starting point. Challenge 3 - The final, and most difficult challenge requires the students to pass through 2 specific random points before returning to their starting point. This is one one of the most challenging videos in the series. Enjoy!

In the 8th challenge in the series the student does the entire form in reverse order. As always start with the beginning forms and move into the higher forms as you can do the reverse easily. Enjoy!

In the 7th challenge in the series the student does the mirror image of each form. The basic forms traditionally start to the left with the first block, to do the mirror image start to the right and follow the sequence of the form according to its mirrored pattern. As always start with the beginning forms and move into the higher forms as you can do the mirrors easily. Enjoy!

In the 6th drill we take each stance in the form and replace it with a different stance. Students make the substitution while performing the form. Once they have completed the form they can go back and do it again with a different stance substitution. With all the possible stances each form can be done a multitude of times with each new iteration being unique. Once again we use the basic forms to introduce the concept and encourage students and instructors to proceed to the higher level forms once they can comfortably do it in the lower level forms. The concept is straight forward and easy to do in the basic forms, as you progress into the higher forms the challenge gets exponentially more difficult. Enjoy!!

Next up is combing the last two concepts. We put a move before the traditional technique (Prefix) and a move after the traditional technique (Suffix) for every move in the form. Triple the work and an infinite amount of fun. Things just got really challenging. Don't just watch me - get up and try it! Once again we use the basic forms to introduce the concept and encourage students and instructors to proceed to the higher level forms once they can comfortably do it in the lower level forms. The concept is straight forward and easy to do in the basic forms, as you progress into the higher forms the challenge gets exponentially more difficult. In the higher forms you have two options - first is to add the additional techniques to each additional count. If the count traditionally has three moves (opening of Pyung Ahn E Dan), you would add one move to the beginning and end of the of the count (This make 5 techniques in the count). The second option is to add a technique to each movement, in Pyung Ahn E Dan the opening count of three moves would have an additional technique added before and after each movement giving a total of 9 moves for the count.

Following on the concept of "Suffix" in the previous video, this video follows the same idea by adding a technique BEFORE the traditional movement in the form. (Prefix) Once again we use the basic forms to introduce the concept and encourage students and instructors to proceed to the higher level forms once they can comfortably do it in the lower level forms. The concept is straight forward and easy to do in the basic forms, as you progress into the higher forms the challenge gets exponentially more difficult. In the higher forms you have two options - first is to add a technique to each additional count. If the count traditionally has three moves (opening of Pyung Ahn E Dan), you would add one move to the beginning of the count. The second option is to add a technique to each movement, in Pyung Ahn E Dan the opening count of three moves would have an additional technique added before each movement giving a total of 6 moves for the count.

This video uses the basic forms to teach the concept of adding an additional technique to each movement within a form. The concept is straight forward and easy to do in the basic forms, as you progress into the higher forms the challenge gets exponentially more difficult. In the higher forms you have two options - first is to add a technique to each additional count. If the count traditionally has three moves (opening of Pyung Ahn E Dan), you would add one move to the end of the count. The second option is to add a technique to each movement, in Pyung Ahn E Dan the opening count of three moves would have an additional technique added to each move giving a total of 6 for the count. Additional technique optimally will follow logically from the base technique while at the same time allowing a smooth transition into the next base technique. Enjoy!!

Smash - looks at at combining the primary movements in the first three forms into a single form. This video series digs into taking our basic forms and looking at options to squeeze more understanding out of forms. Not only will this give both instructor and student more insight into the forms, it also creates a platform for helping the student to be mindful of what they are doing while practicing their forms. Adding the concepts from this series will help to make your forms even more fun, creative, and challenging.
