Basic Kicks with Master Patterson

Imagine having a Taekwon-Do Master spend nearly an hour with you, explaining and demonstrating the basic kicks in detail. That is exactly what this session delivers, with Master Gray Patterson guiding viewers through fundamental kicking technique with clarity and purpose.

The session focuses on far more than simply copying shapes. Master Patterson explains how each kick should be performed, where power is generated, and how small technical details influence both effectiveness and control. This makes the material relevant not only for students learning the basics, but also for experienced practitioners refining their technique.

Breaking Down the Basics

Each kick is examined carefully, with attention given to posture, balance, hip use, and follow-through. By slowing the process down, Master Patterson highlights common mistakes and shows how to correct them before they become ingrained habits.

Power Without Forcing

A recurring theme throughout the session is generating power efficiently rather than forcing techniques. Master Patterson demonstrates how correct body alignment and timing allow kicks to be delivered with authority while maintaining balance and control.

In the preview clip, an excerpt focusing on the reverse turning kick shows how attention to detail can transform a familiar technique into a far more effective one.

Ideal as a Reference Session

Because of its clear explanations and steady pace, this video works well as an ongoing reference. Many practitioners will find value in revisiting sections over time, particularly when refining technique or assisting others in class.
