I just got ordered to stay relaxed and not train for one week. I already has planned the regular training session I run every Friday so I simply changed it to a theory lesson on Taekwondo history. It’s all in Norwegian so if you know Norwegian Swedish or danish you’ll be OK :-) If not let me know if you want me to do it in English in the future. 

This talk covers military and civilian classical martial arts, the development and rise of modern Mudo/Budo, the formation of karate styles and their founders as relevant for Taekwondo history, Koreans in Japan, Koreans in China, development and founding of the Kwan (plural). I have A LOT more material so I’ll have to do a follow up with the rest (1950s to present day). 

Chulgi Chudan Hyung, essential learning for traditional minded Taekwondo students

I just did a “webinar” where I did a complete tutorial on Chulgi Chudan Hyung. In my opinion if you ever only learn one form outside of your curriculum you should really consider making that one form this one. It served for 100s of years as the foundation form for the root arts of Taekwondo all the way back to the time of “Tode” Sakugawa. 

It is also known as Kima and Naebojin Hyung in Korea or Naihanchi/Naifanchin and Tekki in Karate styles. 

In the webinar we go through opening and closing meditation, some sparring footwork and dynamic stretching and some kicking (there are no high kicks in Chulgi Chudan Hyung so I did include them in the training session so we got a complete Taekwondo training) and then most of the session focuses on learning the form itself. The emphasis is on the solo performance as I’m alone but I do talk a little bit on the practical applications of the form too. 

I hope you like it, and if you have something else you’d like me to do in the future please leave a comment or PM me :-)
