For the students who are undergoing prep training classes, use the videos below to review your performance. Get a pencil and paper and make some notes. First: View the video you are in; remember what your weak areas are... we've talked about several areas and by now you understand what we are trying to tell you. For example: if you've been told to "use the ball of your foot" to help you focus the weapon in an Ahp Cha Nut Gi (front kick), then it's important for you to make that adjustment. Second: Jot down on the piece of paper those weak areas that Sa bom Nim covered with you during your prep classes. Third: Review those weak areas in the video and write down on the piece of paper how you will work to make those needed adjustments. You've seen how the techniques are done correctly, in other words, you know what it's supposed to look like...follow that standard in order to make your adjustments. At the next prep class, we will discuss your weak areas again and help you make the adjustments you need.
Some things to consider when you are reviewing the videos:
Eye Contact with your partner
Proper Stances (Front Stance, Side Stances, proper cross over for Dwi (Back) kicks)
Take your time (don't rush into doing the technique)
Proper and correct breathing
Intermediate Positions (for kicking)
Remember to "tuck" before you kick (Yup Podo Cha Gi (side kick))
Remember the only way to improve your height with jump kicks is to practice jumping
Practice Hard. Soo Bahk!

Soo Bahk Do® and Character Education - The Connection!
Through the use of Soo Bahk Do® Moo Duk Kwan® training, children are guided through the various facets of "Character Education" that are taught through the use of the "Eight Key Concepts©", our "Five Moo Do Values©" and many other aspects of the Moo Duk Kwan® Philosophy. Basic to any character education, it concentrates on teaching children how to successfully meet life's challenges, by learning about responsibility, ethical behavior, developing and understanding trust, being respectful or learning about citizenship; it is this basic instruction that every Certified Soo Bahk Do® instructor teaches everyday!

Thank you for posting the videos. It was very helpful and I will work on the areas that need improvement. Thanks again, Tishta
Tishta, I'm glad you find it useful. Remember if your family has a video camera, you can always have them tape a prep session, then review later at home for the same effect and goal, which is to make your adjustments. See you in class.
Mr. B.
