Sam-il – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

Sam-Il – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

This premium Sam-Il lesson is a relaxed but highly informative coaching session covering the first pattern learnt at 3rd dan level. Sam-Il is a favourite of many practitioners due to its smooth flow and inclusion of more complex kicking techniques, and this lesson explores how to bring those elements together effectively.

In the full video, Mr Mark Trotter works with Miss Melissa Timperley, guiding her through Sam-Il with a strong focus on refinement rather than correction alone. The coaching is delivered in a casual, conversational style, allowing valuable hints and insights to emerge naturally as the pattern progresses.

A particular emphasis is placed on performance quality, making this lesson especially useful for competitors. Even practitioners who are not yet training Sam-Il will benefit from the advice given on kicking mechanics, balance, and general pattern presentation.

The sample clip focuses on the twisting kick, with Mr Trotter explaining how a small adjustment to the supporting foot can significantly improve balance, control, and accuracy. These kinds of subtle changes often make the biggest difference at higher dan levels.

Sam-Il requires both technical precision and expressive movement. This lesson provides useful insight into how experienced coaches help advanced students refine those qualities without overcomplicating the process.
