You can perform at least 9 patterns now but could you use them to defend yourself?  Has anyone actually taught you how they really work?

Can you use a pattern to:

• Escape from grabs and holds: not all attacks are kicks and punches?
• Defend against hook punches: not all punches are straight?
• Control fallen opponents?
• Throw or take down aggressors?
• Defeat bigger and stronger people?

Could you:

1. Teach these applications to lower grades?
2. Offer safe and dynamic ways to train these techniques?

 If you've always wanted to know what was 'really' in your forms but were afraid to ask, if you felt your patterns had no practical use, if your training has become boring and you’ve stopped learning, if you felt Taekwon-do didn’t prepare you for the ‘real world’, If you’ve ever thought of leaving Taekwondo. 

Well don’t! We’ve all felt your pain and here is why… 

Blackbelts stop learning

Getting a black belt is a big deal, until you get one.  Then you realise it’s not a final destination but actually the first step on a new journey.  Your journey should be exciting and be packed with new learning challenges…but quite often it is not. Its hard to admit but many people leave Taekwon-do because they stop learning.  They stop being taught new stuff.  Often all that separates one dan grade from another is 3 more patterns.   

You may NEVER learn what it’s all about

And most students never get taught how to actually use the techniques in the patterns. Think about this for a while.  You may have spent minimum 4 years (maybe 40) learning these forms but still have no idea what’s in them.  That can’t be right can it? Can you imagine spending 40 years learning how to swing a golf club but never being shown a ball? 

Why you can’t teach this

Most of the knowledge of what the patterns ‘really’ contain has been lost in time.  Your instructor didn’t teach you because they didn’t know.  Their instructor didn’t teach them because they didn’t know.  So what chance have you to teach the next generation? As blackbelts we need to break this chain.

What is someone grabs me?

Most of what we learn in Taekwondo is defence against long range kicks and punches but what is my attacker grabs me, bear hugs me, pulls my hair, throws me to the floor?  Where are all the techniques to deal with this?

Is it just me?

No, don’t worry! Many Taekwon-do instructors, including myself have had these concerns. I too had a crisis or confidence.  I too considered giving up Taekwon-do. These feelings led me to conduct extensive research and find out what it all means. It was this journey of discovery That empowered me created the first Taekwon-do Blackbelt applications video course.  

This unique course is designed specifically for Taekwon-do blackbelts like you:

1. You’ll learn three ways to use ‘heaven hands’
2. Five ‘essential’ escapes from common grabs
3. Plus fool proof methods for small people to get bigger people to let go
4. Best of all you’ll experience an exciting and dynamic method of Taekwon-do training unknown to most dojangs
