Juche – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

Juche – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

This premium Juche lesson focuses on refining the more athletic and visually demanding elements of the pattern.
In the sample clip above, Mr Mark Trotter addresses one of the most common challenges in Juche – how to improve the flying techniques.

Not every student finds jumping techniques easy, but this lesson shows how small technical adjustments can dramatically improve how the movement looks and feels. Rather than relying purely on height, the focus is placed on timing and coordination in the air.

A key coaching point highlighted in the sample is the timing of the mid-air strike. By firing the strike as soon as the body leaves the ground, the technique appears sharper and gives the impression of increased “air time”. Many practitioners delay the strike until landing, which removes this visual effect and weakens the technique.

Juche demands confidence, coordination, and commitment. This lesson shows how correct timing and intent can make even difficult techniques look controlled and purposeful, without the need for excessive height or force.

The full premium lesson expands on these ideas, offering further insight into how Juche should be performed at dan level, with attention given to both technical execution and overall presentation.
