Training Secret
General Choi’s training secrets remain some of the most overlooked yet powerful teaching tools in Taekwon-Do. While many practitioners can recite them, far fewer truly apply them consistently in their training and performance.
In the sample video above, taken from a Master Class on applying the training secrets, Master Matthew Breen highlights one of the most common technical problems seen in pattern performance – movements becoming “pushy” rather than coordinated and natural.
This issue is directly linked to training secret number three: to bring the action of eyes, hands, feet, and breath into one single coordinated action. When this principle is not applied correctly, techniques often look forced, disconnected, and rhythmically flat, even when performed with strength and speed.
Master Breen demonstrates how small adjustments in timing, breathing, and visual focus can dramatically change the quality of a pattern. Instead of pushing techniques from one position to the next, movements begin to flow as a unified whole, with balance, control, and intent clearly visible.
The full premium video expands on this concept in depth, guiding instructors and students through practical ways to apply General Choi’s training secrets to everyday training. This session is especially valuable for instructors who want to move beyond surface-level explanations and help students develop more refined, coordinated Taekwon-Do.
This Master Class is available to TKDCoaching Premium Members and provides clear, practical insight into applying one of General Choi’s most important training principles.
