Kup Grade Yellow Belt Advancing to Orange Belt Requirements

WHEN PERFORMING THE POOMSAE YOU WILL BE GRADED ON: 1. Posture: Student must have their body weight correctly distributed during each different stance and during footwork. Each technique must be correctly aligned. Stance, direction, etc. The Head must not face down, the eyes must remain open! 2. Realism: Taekwondo patterns are the learning ground for real combat. As such, every technique must display the requisite speed, power and firmness to be realistically used as an attack or defense move. 3. Spirit: A competitors presence on the mat must be as credible as his technique. Self-belief, confidence in abilities, and intention to perform to a personal best are tangible virtues considered indispensable in Taekwondo practitioners. Learn what each Poomsae represents and act accordingly! 4. Decorum: Proper manners must be displayed when interacting with the Masters, Sabum Nim or Judges directly before and after the Poomsae (Bowing!). Respect must also be extended to rival competitors, schools and other officials (more Bowing!). This is highly prized at SCREAMING EAGLES MARTIAL ARTS. 5. Form: General qualities that we look for in any Taekwondo Student include proper breathing technique and body control. The diaphragm must be engaged in deep breathing; shallow deep breathing concentrated in the upper abdomen results in raised shoulders and stressed muscles. The muscles of the body should be lightly relaxed in order to perform the pattern with fluidity, speed and grace. Muscles should only be tensed at the moment of imaginary impact in order to commute maximum power to any individual Taekwondo technique.

TAEGEUK I JANG: (2nd Poomsae) This Poomsae represents the LAKE.

The movements of this Taeguek Poomsae are aimed to believing that man has limitations. The lake and its water symbolize the owing and calm of the martial artist. (This form should respect those attributes)
