COLOR BELT PHILOSOPHY:
The philosophical interpretation of the Green Belt is:
"The pine tree is beginning to develop and grow in strength."
The student's technique is developing power. The components of the basic techniques are beginning to work in unison.
FORM - Individual action
Balance is an important part of your training, so please pay attention to detail elements.
Solid sole - keep your heel down on the floor.
Body position - keep your body as upright as possible while kicking. Remember, reaching high is secondary. The most important quality of kicking is proper technique and balance.
Hand position - keep your hands in guard position while kick is being performed.
Eye contact - keep your eyes on target before, during, and after execution of each technique.
Segments break down: 5 - 4 - 3 - 5 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 5
Songahm Oh Jahng (5) has 34 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 10th movement (right side kick) and the 25th movement (right reverse spearhand thrust).
ONE-STEP SPARRING - Transition utility
#1 evade backward - no block, #2 evade to left - 45 degree angle toward your opponent, #3 evade to right.
FREE SPARRING - Relative action
Free sparring for testing should be done to exhibit proper technique for the green belt level in combination form.
Sparring stance - Set up of your feet which should be a little wider than shoulder width between front to back. The back foot's heel should be in line with the front foot's toe. For your mobility, put your weight on the balls of your feet.
From SENIOR MASTER BILL CLARK
Senior Vice-President, 7th Degree Black Belt
"Congratulations on your new green belt. This is the perfect time to think about future goals in Taekwondo. If you haven't taken the time to set your goal for 1st degree black, now is the time to do so. Taekwondo becomes more and more enjoyable from here on out. You have many things to look forward to, such as controlled free sparring, board breaking, and even competing in some tournaments to test your skill against others of your same rank, if you chose to. Whatever you do make sure you learn from every experience and have fun in all your training. Listen to your instructor for guidance and you will not fail. Please take time to speak to me at any National tournament you happen to be competing in."
I wish you success in Taekwondo,
Senior Master Bill Clark
