Choi-Yong – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

Choi-Yong – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

This premium Choi-Yong lesson is a coaching session covering the third pattern learnt at 3rd dan level. Choi-Yong is widely regarded as the most challenging of the three 3rd dan patterns, largely due to its demanding combination and consecutive kicking sequences.

In this session, Mr Mark Trotter works with Miss Melissa Timperley in a relaxed but highly informative coaching environment. The lesson forms part of a small series of more casual sessions, where the emphasis is on refinement, feel, and performance quality rather than strict correction alone.

After working through the pattern, particular attention is given to kicking technique. This makes the lesson valuable not only for those training Choi-Yong, but also for practitioners looking to improve their kicking mechanics and overall pattern presentation at senior level.

The sample clip highlights Mr Trotter instructing on correct knee lift and chamber height before kicking. Achieving a high, well-controlled chamber is essential for balance, power, and clean execution, particularly in demanding kicking sequences such as those found in Choi-Yong.

Choi-Yong requires confidence, coordination, and precise control. This lesson offers clear guidance on how experienced coaches help students manage those demands without sacrificing flow or stability.
