One of the most demanding and, at the same time, frustrating areas of training is the practice of the patterns or Tul of the art. When the practitioner invests time and effort in this element of the art of Taekwon-Do, developed and systematized by Gen. Choi Hong Hi, they must keep in mind the conditions and implications that it carries.<\/p>\n
If such dedication is directed toward a sporting competition in this area, the emphasis will be placed on the obsessive development of the details that must, without exception, be included in these confrontations. The judges have been trained to verify that the details dictated in the various seminars of the organizing body are present in the performance carried out by the participants.<\/p>\n
These technical details tend to obsess competitors because they know that, if they\u00a0fail to\u00a0comply with\u00a0them, their relationship with success will be short-lived. However, this has led to the execution of robotic movements whose practical use is highly questionable.<\/p>\n
There is no doubt that the control of coordination, balance, and\u00a0the definition\u00a0of kicks are conditions that must be kept in mind\u00a0to\u00a0be included among the leading positions. The mind-body relationship is unavoidable; therefore, intention plays an essential role in each execution.<\/p>\n
In competition, the purpose of each movement is centered on obsessively\u00a0complying with\u00a0the technical requirements\u00a0indicated\u00a0in seminars and bibliographic references.<\/p>\n
There is no doubt that the performances of those ranked among the top places have a significant choreographic development. Judges, and even the\u00a0public, expect to see this panorama. When it is absent from a competitor\u2019s performance, the deduction of points to be awarded becomes demanding.<\/p>\n
The development of each and every one of the movements involved in the 24 patterns, or Tul, contains the mathematical and choreographic details already mentioned. However, one must not overlook that each and every one of them also has a specific purpose.<\/p>\n
The geometric details contribute to improving the balance, power, and benefit of each of these movements. Nevertheless, it is imperative not to neglect the purpose for which each one of them was designed. Considering that the mind-body relationship is unavoidable, the focus we give to this relationship will condition the result.<\/p>\n
If a practitioner knows 20 movements, but in\u00a0reality\u00a0has only put 4 of them into action against an opponent, only those four will be useful for self defense. The rest will become part of anecdotal knowledge and will be profitable only within the structure of sporting competition.<\/p>\n
Based on what has been\u00a0stated\u00a0above, it is necessary, when training patterns or Tul, to keep in mind the purpose for which the movements are executed, so that they do not become merely part of a choreographic development.<\/p>\n
