DON’T FORGET TO WATCH No. 10 – Paul McPhail performs Juche forwards and backwards
For my 5th degree black belt grading in 1993 I thought it would be a cool idea to perform Juche Tul forwards then backwards for General Choi.
The plan failed miserably as I started the backwards part… I hadn’t even considered the possibility that General Choi would take offence to it. He turned his head and refused to watch. I figured… well… I may as well carry on now and struggled through to the end.
I passed the grading so I guess the General had forgiven me by the day the results were announced.
Here is the footage of the pattern at the grading.
Classic : GM Tran – Introduction
Seminars by Grand Masters Tran Trieu Quan and Van Binh.
We look back now and the larger than life figure of Grand Master Tran Trieu Quan and realise what a loss his death was to the ITF world. He was a visionary and great leader.
In 2005 a unique seminar was held in Finland, where (then) Masters Tran Trieu Quan and Van Binh Nguyen gave an in-depth look into the whole system of Taekwon-Do. There were participants all over the world; Mariusz Steckiewicz (POL), Kurt Ottesen (CAN), Håkan Magnusson Lang (SWE) and Per Andresen (NOR) few to mention.
Here is some footage from this seminar.

This video technology enables students to compare themselves to experts side by side so that they can see how to improve in visual detail.
The full video gives this kind of analysis so you can see the differences in technique and timing. Even if you are not Riana, you can still get tremendous benefit by comparing someone to an extremely skilled athlete at the same time.
