Yoo-Sin – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

Yoo-Sin – Inside the Premium Pattern Lesson

This premium Yoo-Sin lesson is an in-depth coaching session covering the second pattern learnt at 3rd dan level.
Yoo-Sin is one of the the longest ITF patterns, with 68 movements, and presents a significant physical and mental challenge even for experienced practitioners.

In the full video, Mr Mark Trotter works through Yoo-Sin step by step with Mrs Henni Ylimäinen, 3rd dan from Finland. Each movement is analysed as the pattern progresses, with practical advice offered to help maintain quality, structure, and consistency across the entire pattern.

At over 42 minutes of instruction, this lesson provides detailed insight into how longer patterns should be managed. The focus is not only on individual techniques, but also on pacing, endurance, and maintaining technical accuracy as fatigue begins to set in.

The sample clip highlights Mr Trotter using a strength and positioning exercise to assist the crescent kick to side piercing kick combination. By using his own body as a visual trajectory guide, the correct path and balance of the kick become much easier to understand and apply.

Yoo-Sin demands sustained focus and physical control from start to finish. This lesson offers valuable insight into how experienced coaches help students manage that challenge without compromising technique.
