Yesterday I took off of work to get a few things done. One of them was being able to go to a Dan class.
Our warm up was focused on using Il Soo Sik in a practical self defense sort of way. Sa Bom nim seemed focused on the fact that even though we might be very technical and be able to pass our test we might not know things in a way that we can use them in a self defense situation.
Junior started by punching to the face. We could use the first two moves of either Il Soo Sik 1 or 2 and would then "rotate" around our partner as if we were getting out of the way. We did that up and down the mat room.
We then had the junior start by throwing a low front kick to test the water. As they did that we would back up and then immediately jump in with a flying punch (superman punch). We found that if you could even just catch the foot a little while you were backing up it threw your partner off balance and gave you that extra second to get in there for the punch.
We then went into knife self defense #3 (slash). A few things to keep in mind
- Chop/hit their wrist as you bring it down and towards them
- Break the wrist as your looking at them BEFORE you step completely through. Then step, disarm, and kick.
We then went into forms (Jung Jul, Jin Do, Nai Han Ji E Dan)
Points Sa Bom Nim made:
Jung Jol
- Use our hip more
- Small hop on 2nd to last move. Not so much of a hop as it is a shifting your weight to your left as you step your foot that way actually.
- On Jump front kick, keep your hands on your chest
- Use our hip
- The Hu Gul Ha Dan Mahk Kee towards the begining (before the push) is actually Sang Soo (two hand) low block.
- Very low and heavy
- On the "hook punch" towards the end...as you are stepping...that move is actually trapping someones leg
- Use your hips
- On the 3rd move of the form (the slapping motion) your tip of your fingers on your open hand should be at your wrist not next to the fist
