This piece from Adam Carter is well worth a read and some thought if you want more depth in your Pattern training.
The Direction of Kata Direction in kata is not always the direction of the attack. Sometimes it is the lesson of position.
I absolutely agree with this viewpoint. For the preservation of our martial art of Taekwon-Do we need to put far more emphasis on our Hosin Sul and explore all the possibilities our fundamental movements to develop our self defence technique.
We are directed to do so by General Choi in his encyclopaedia and as Taekwon-Do instructors we are not developing competent well rounded martial artists if are missing the "most interesting and most advanced" aspects of Taekwon-Do!
Good example of Taekwon-Do 'free-sparring' training as it is meant to be trained.
