Toi-Gye – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

Toi-Gye – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

This premium Toi-Gye lesson is a detailed coaching session covering the 3rd gup pattern step by step. Toi-Gye is learnt at red stripe level and contains 37 movements, so by this stage the focus shifts from simply remembering the sequence to maintaining control, consistency, and intent across a longer pattern.

In the full video, Mark Trotter works with 13-year-old junior black belt Carter Hall, guiding him through Toi-Gye movement by movement. The step-by-step format makes it easier to isolate errors early, correct them immediately, and then rebuild the pattern with improved flow and accuracy.

This style of lesson is especially useful for students approaching black belt grading, where details such as intermediate positions, clean transitions, and consistent heights begin to matter more and more. It is also a strong resource for instructors who want a clear method for coaching higher colour belt patterns without overwhelming the student.

The lesson slows Toi-Gye down to focus on the type of detail that often gets rushed in normal training sessions. This helps students build a more reliable performance and gives instructors a clearer framework for identifying what to correct first.
