In fact, sparring competitions award additional points for strikes that incorporate spinning kicks, kicks to the head, or both. To facilitate fast, turning kicks, taekwondo generally adopts stances that are narrower, taller, and hence less-stable than the broader, wide stances used by martial arts such as karate. The tradeoff of decreased stability is believed to be worth the commensurate increase in agility, particularly in Kukkiwon-style taekwondo. Theory of power [ ] The emphasis on speed and agility is a defining characteristic of taekwondo and has its origins in analyses undertaken.

The results of that analysis are known by ITF practitioners as Choi's Theory of Power. Choi based his understanding of power on and as well as Chinese martial arts. For example, Choi observed that the power of a strike increases quadratically with the speed of the strike, but increases only linearly with the mass of the striking object. In other words, speed is more important than size in terms of generating power. This principle was incorporated into the early design of taekwondo and is still used. Choi also advocated a relax/strike principle for taekwondo; in other words, between blocks, kicks, and strikes the practitioner should relax the body, then tense the muscles only while performing the technique. It is believed that the relax/strike principle increases the power of the technique, by conserving the body's energy.

In the context of taekwondo the term taegeuk refers to a set of Pumsae or forms used to teach taekwondo. A form or Pumsae is a defined pattern of defense-and-attack motions. Outside of the context of taekwondo, the word taegeuk refers to the Taoist principle of the 'unity of opposites' (yin and yang). Taegeuk is also the. 세계태권도한마당 창작품새/Creative poomsae - YouTube.

Yet, the health of this singularly crucial muscle can never be taken for granted. It must be cautiously.

He expanded on this principle with his advocacy of the sine wave technique. This involves raising one's center of gravity between techniques, then lowering it as the technique is performed, producing the up-and-down movement from which the term 'sine wave' is derived. The sine wave is generally practiced, however, only in schools that follow ITF-style taekwondo. Kukkiwon-style taekwondo, for example, does not employ the sine wave and advocates a more uniform height during movements, drawing power mainly from the rotation of the hip. The components of the Theory of Power include: • Reaction Force - the principle that as the striking limb is brought forward, other parts of the body should be brought backward in order to provide more power to the striking limb. As an example, if the right leg is brought forward in a, the right arm is brought backward to provide the reaction force.

• Concentration - the principle of bringing as many muscles as possible to bear on a strike, concentrating the area of impact into as small an area as possible. • Equilibrium - maintaining a correct center-of-balance throughout a technique. • Breath Control - the idea that during a strike one should exhale, with the exhalation concluding at the moment of impact.
