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.

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.
