COLOR BELT PHILOSOPHY:
The philosophical interpretation of the Yellow Belt is:
"The seed is beginning to see the sunlight."
The student begins to understand the basics of Taekwondo.
FORM - Individual action
In order to develop good techniques, you should pay attention to detail of all kicks (foot techniques). Such as Chamber - loading position, Execution - direction, RE-chamber - reload position after kick is thrown, and Pivot - turning your standing leg. Pay close attention to the 4 elements you see above.
Segments break down: 2 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 2 - 4
Songahm Sahm Jahng (3) has 28 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 7th movement (right punch), the 8th movement (left punch), and the 17th movement (left jump front kick).
ONE-STEP SPARRING - Transition utility
Focusing, hitting the proper target is another important part of one-step sparring training. One of the biggest concepts of defense is against the weak areas of your opponent. All humans have weak areas that we call pressure points or vital spots, regardless of size or how strong that individual might be.
Remember, when you defend, it is imperative to evade as double defense in each one-step sparring. #1 is designed to evade left, and #3 is designed to evade backward.
From MASTER G.K. LEE
Protech Director
"Congratulations on achieving your Yellow belt. By now you have learned the basic physical skills, however, the most important part of your Taekwondo training is the mental aspect, which is courtesy and self-discipline. Without this mental training it would be just like any other sport. Studying the Martial Arts can be the most positive and wonderful experience in anyone's life. Good luck in your training and always have the best positive mental attitude."
Sincerely,
G. K. Lee
