This is...Hi Nina and thanks for sharing this tip. <br /><br />This is in my opinion a great way to start the students with "hard style/old school" applications. I remember that this was one of my favorite ways to practise Poomsae, and I think it is an important first step that is sadly often not taken in many schools. <br /><br />For many the practise of forms is the same as practising the performance of the forms, but if you take your time and read the Kukkiwon Textbook you will see that the performance part of Poomsae training is just the first two steps (out of five). The rest is about finding out the practical uses for the movements, practise them, and adopt it into your own personal way (this is not openly taught in the Kukkiwon, but this is what the kukkiwon textbook says). <br /><br />Your method of teaching takes the student from step two (perfecting the performance of Poomsae) to step three (finding out the practicality of the movements).<br /><br />Later when the hard style applications are mastered to a sufficient degree the same teaching method might with small changes prove most usefull for the more "alternative" applications like the ones I have provided in this post. <br /><br />Thanks again for sharing Nina.Ørjan Nilsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506123119682274818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969550358686428094.post-42333916035068710662012-03-27T09:39:35.566+02:002012-03-27T09:39:35.566+02:00In my dojang I had sessions once and a while where...In my dojang I had sessions once and a while where two students had to cooperate. One was doing the pomsae, the other one had to run around and to tecknicks that could fit whith the application. Lets say it was a hight block in the pattern, the other one had to do an attack to this defence. If it for example was a kick in the pomsae, the other student had to find a way to think for himself how to defence himself to the kick... Many things was a benefit of this sort of training.<br /><br />1- students had to think for them selfs what they was actiually doing in the pattern<br /><br />2- many then saw why I tryed to say that everything we do and train are for beeing better fighters, and to train pomsae is a must if you want to be a full complete martial art fighter.<br /><br />3- they understod faster the inportentnes of thinking by them selfs, and not only follow orders.<br /><br />4- Its actiually not easy to do a pattern, and have another student running around you to do the attacks or defences that an imaginering person jusely are,-<br /><br />This a recomand for all instructors to do at training once and a while,- <br />both students also have to learn to be "partners", and the sixe or the weight, have nothing to do whit it,- it actually become even more difficult if the two persons have different bodysizes..<br />try it, <br />you learn as well, as an instructor...<br /><br />" a great instructor have something new at every training, even to do things everybody know, just that they do it in a tiny different way, like let 3 or 4 students start going pomsae whith theyr backs together. They start in different sides in the dojang, they must concentrate, even more just because they start in 3 or 4 different sides in the room, because you want them to find a rythm together, and end the pattern exatly where they started, "<br /><br />nina standal, 3dan in TTU , NorwauAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
