Eui-Am – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

Eui-Am – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

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

Rather than rushing through the pattern, the coaching focuses on small adjustments that significantly improve clarity, speed, and control. These are the kinds of details that are often missed in a normal class setting, but make a noticeable difference to overall performance.

One of the strengths of this lesson is the use of clear coaching cues that help the student visualise correct execution. These cues make technical concepts easier to understand and apply, especially when working on fast, outward movements.

  • Movement-by-movement coaching of the full Eui-Am pattern
  • Clear one-on-one feedback aimed at dan-grade refinement
  • Practical cues that help visualise correct speed and direction
  • Insights instructors can use when coaching senior students

The sample clip highlights one such cue, where Mr Trotter uses the phrase “snap the cable tie” to help the student visualise the sharp outward action required for the wedging block. This simple image helps reinforce speed and decisiveness without unnecessary tension.

Eui-Am demands both technical precision and confident execution. This lesson provides a valuable window into how experienced coaches refine those qualities through clear explanation, well-chosen cues, and focused feedback.
