Absolutely spot on. Judges at open comps know nothing whatsoever about real tkd patterns.
ReplyDeleteI saw a european ITF patterns champion come second to a karate guy in the Korean section of one of these types of comps, it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
The guy in the WTF dobok doing Gae Beak (an ITF tul) is just awful and I have no idea what the judges were thinking placing him first. 2nd in a bad bunch, way behind the guy in the ITF dobok doing Choong Jang.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder real tkd'ers don't compete at open comps, judges are fuckin blind and useless!
hey, the guy in the WTF suit is actually a ITF tkd-er.
ReplyDeleteholy shit, the first guy was like a wooden dummy , just horrible. but the guy doing "chung moo" (it looked like chung moo but...) that was just embarassing, horrbile horrible and pathetic. not their faults though, they must have really bad instructors. the WTF and the ITF guy were the best.
ReplyDeletewow the guy who did won hyo was horribly bad. its the fact that he made it look soooo weak. and the guy who did choo moo looked like he was stricken with rigamortis.
ReplyDeletethe man in the black suck!!!!
ReplyDeleteI my mind:
ReplyDelete1st place to number 4 (from the left)
2nd place to number 3 (from the left)
3rd place to number 2 (from the left)
and last place goes to the man in the black dobok
Hi V. I liked your pattern. I can give a couple of comments on it. The first two movements are seperate not fast motion. Whenever you do a block or strike where you arms cross, (e.g knife hand strike) you cross your arms too high. No need for them to be higher than your chest. You look like you have been putting alot of work into your patterns.
ReplyDeleteYour forms was very well done. I study ITF TaeKwon-Do also. Th eonly diffrence how my school and your school is that the way our forms are executed is by style. My school is based mmore on karate with staight points and directs moves
ReplyDeleteHWKim: thanks for the comments.
ReplyDeletealso it was at a open styles tournament, only 1 of the 3 judges did tkd (UKTA/ITF)it was judged on general aspects of patterns such as: power, balance, kicks, strikes, etc.
spoken to the head judge after the comp and he said altho my pattern was spot on, my marks wernt as high as the other 2 cos the form lacked kicks, and in korean styles, u get more points for kicks as tkd is a kickin art.
Erm i'm lost for words...
ReplyDeleteThe first pattern, won hyo was near disgusting.
Your pattern imo is precisly how patterns should look like, and how they were taught to me.
That choong moo was utterly deformed, clean jumping side but if i was judging that he would be in minus figures.
No1 but you were using sine wave!! i know wtf dont use it but traditional ITF should always try to stay true to the generals teachings...
IMHO, the placings for that day should have been according to the line-up, from right to left, at 7:00 into the video. Your Choong Jang was performed the way they do TKD hyungs nowadays (different from years ago). 3rd placer was doing Ge Baek (ITF) but wore a WTF dobok?! 4th placer did a green stripe pattern (Won Hyo), beginner-intermediate level. 2nd place...2nd place.
ReplyDeletei think that guy in the black sux, no power in the chops and punches.
