hmm... we started them just before they left for korea...
basically, u know how there's 12 ssangssu (spelling?) patterns before black belt? there's now a sparring step that corresponds to it... so u may not need to learn them unless you become an instructor since ur past it already...
they're actually kinda hard to get ur head around... especially when u consider the 1st one... i can't believe they paired it with pattern one... the footwork is kinda tricky at first...
i think it's because the sparring standards are starting to slip so they're bringing these in... it also means that u need more movement and ability to pass exams... about time! some ppl were *so* passing when they shouldn't've...
meh. we'll see. i guess we get changes etc way faster since the my master is the australian grand master's student... and he's the haidong world vice president's student... so we tend to have a rather convenient direct line ^_^
Hmmm.. Come to think of it, we had worked on something similar about 2 months ago and went over 6 such manuevers with Kendo sticks, though no mention of them was made that we would have to learn or memorize them for anything and foolishly i didn't think there was anything about that so i only rememer a few of them.
Is what you're saying something that is done paired with another person or free standing like Kyuk-gum 1 step techniques?
Yeah before they left I didn't realise they were anything important either so i didn't pay as much attention as i should've.
Ummm we learnt them individually first... getting to know what we're doing... now we're starting to partner it up... not sure which way it's really supposed to be for grading...
ummm this might help... the first one is:
- standing with left foot back and raised and resting (as aaaaalways lol) - step forward onto left foot and raise sword - step forward onto right foot(into soda-sae? can't remember) and straight cut - transfer weight back onto left foot (which is behind), raising sword again - step back onto right foot - step back onto left back into standing position with sword also returned to normal resting position in front
sidenote: love that song!
