Choong-Jang – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

Choong-Jang – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

This premium Choong-Jang lesson places you inside a focused one-on-one coaching session, with Mr Mark Trotter working closely with Miss Phillipa Henry, 2nd dan.
The full video analyses the pattern movement by movement, allowing technical details to be corrected and refined as the session progresses.

Rather than simply demonstrating the pattern, the lesson captures the coaching process itself. Small adjustments, clear cues, and well-timed corrections are used to help the student improve balance, structure, and overall execution.

Choong-Jang sits at an important stage in dan-grade development, where consistency and control are expected throughout the entire pattern. This lesson shows how experienced coaching helps bridge the gap between knowing the pattern and performing it with confidence and clarity.

  • Movement-by-movement coaching of the Choong-Jang pattern
  • Clear one-on-one feedback aimed at dan-grade refinement
  • Practical cues that improve balance and structural control
  • A valuable reference for instructors coaching senior students

The sample clip focuses on Mr Trotter explaining how to properly prepare the supporting foot for the front leg side piercing kick. Correct preparation of the base allows the kick to be delivered with better balance, alignment, and control, reducing instability later in the movement.

The lesson concludes with Mr Trotter performing Choong-Jang in full, providing a clear reference for how the pattern should look once these technical details are applied consistently.
