DON’T FORGET TO WATCH No. 10 – Paul McPhail performs Juche forwards and backwards
For my 5th degree black belt grading in 1993 I thought it would be a cool idea to perform Juche Tul forwards then backwards for General Choi.
The plan failed miserably as I started the backwards part… I hadn’t even considered the possibility that General Choi would take offence to it. He turned his head and refused to watch. I figured… well… I may as well carry on now and struggled through to the end.
I passed the grading so I guess the General had forgiven me by the day the results were announced.
Here is the footage of the pattern at the grading.
This is our first video release of series of seminars by Master Adrian Byrne from Ireland.
In “Sparring Deconstructed Part 1” Master Byrne introduces the idea of sparring as a game and not as a fight and building the student’s confidence by showing them where they can exert influence and adapting to the student’s abilities.
Master Byrne introduces us to flow and momentum in the ring and gives an overview of the kinds of scenarios in the full session. Listen to Master Byrne’s reflections on the class here.
