Promotion from one geup to the next can proceed rapidly in some schools, since schools often allow geup promotions every two, three, or four months. Students of geup rank learn the most basic techniques first, and then move on to more advanced techniques as they approach first dan. Many of the older and more traditional schools often take longer to allow students to test for higher ranks than newer, more contemporary schools, as they may not have the required testing intervals.

Taekwondo Preschool Outside Wrist Supporting Outward Block ( 바깥팔목 거들어 바깥막기 bakkatpalmok-kodureo-bakkat-makgi )

Outside Wrist Supporting Outward Block

( 바깥팔목 거들어 바깥막기 bakkatpalmok-kodureo-bakkat-makgi )

 

Difficulty Level:  Advanced      Technique: Blocks ( 막기 makgi )

This advanced block ( 막기 makgi ) uses the outside wrist ( 바깥팔목 bakkatpalmok ) to protect the trunk area with the Outside Middle Block ( 바깥막기 momtong-bakkat-makgi ), while the other hand ( 손 son ) is supporting the block ( 막기 makgi ) with a fist ( 주먹 jumeok ) around the sternum area. The Outside Wrist Supported Outward Block ( 바깥팔목 거들어 바깥막기 bakkatpalmok-kodureo-bakkat-makgi ) is similar to the Supported Knife Hand Outward Block ( 손날 거들어 바깥막기 sonnal-kodureo-makgi ) but instead of knife hands ( 손날 sonnal ), the fists ( 주먹 jumeok ) are used to block ( 막기 makgi ).

The blocking hand starts from shoulder level with the palm ( 손바닥 sonbadak ) of fist facing up while you stretch the other hand ( 손 son ) far from the waist at shoulder height level with the palm ( 손바닥 sonbadak ) of fist facing down. In the final form for the Outside Wrist Supported Outward Block ( 바깥팔목 거들어 바깥막기 bakkatpalmok-kodureo-bakkat-makgi ), the blocking arm's elbow ( 팔굽 palgup ) and the supporting hand ( 손 son ) should not be touching each other.

Remember to keep the wrists ( 팔목 palmok ) straight and the blocking arm is angled 90-120 degrees. The supporting hand ( 손 son ) provides extra force for the block ( 막기 makgi ) and acts as a preparation move for follow-up attacks such as with a Punch ( 지르기 jireugi ) or with the Palm Heel Forward Strike ( 바탕손 앞치기 batangson-ap-chigi ).

Typically because of the angles involved, the Outside Wrist Supporting Outward Block ( 바깥팔목 거들어 바깥막기 bakkatpalmok-kodureo-bakkat-makgi ) is used to block ( 막기 makgi ) against attacks aimed at the torso. Most critical organs are housed within the torso. For example, in the upper chest, the heart and lungs are protected by the rib cage, while the abdomen contains the stomach, kidney, and etc.

* Please see a certified Master Instructor ( 사범님 sabeomnim ) for training. Proper guidance and instructions are needed to ensure safe training.

Question. What is the korean terminology for Front Stance?

Front Stance is a precursor of the fighting stance ( 겨루기준비 gyeorugi-junbi ) according to some authors. Body should be relaxed in this stance ( 서기 sogi ). From the attention stance ( 차렷 charyeot ) with feet together, one foot is placed straight ahead of the other. Depending on the martial art and style, some instructors teach to step sideways slightly when moving forward.



Question. What is the name of Taegeuk #2 in Korean?

Taegeuk 태극 (in World Taekwondo (WT)) refers to a set of poomse 품새 used to create a foundation for the teaching of taekwondo. A poomse or form is a detailed pattern of defense-and-attack motions and techniques used in traditional martial arts. Each taegeuk form symbolizes a specific state thought to be indicative of the belt the student currently holds, and is represented in World Taekwondo (WT) by trigrams similar to those found in the four corners of the South Korean flag.

Ready Stance refers to the most common ready position used in taekwondo training. The stance ( 서기 sogi ) is performed by standing with the feet one foot-length from origin apart, measured from the inside edge or namely the Reverse Foot Blade ( 발날등 balnaldeung ) of the feet. The arms are slightly bent and the fists held tightly about one fist size apart just below the belly button and the fists should be a fist size away from the body.
