Terminology OMG!!!

If im correct which i will find out to nite i will have to memorize & try my best to pronounce 18-20 korean terms correctly! OMG! I don't really know if i can! cause of all the over stress of the different parts of the test! Good EX : i knew & still know the student creed but last time when i was in my testing & i felt all eyes on me (which i found out later was true) my mind when totally blank on me! Then the instructor just said one word of the starting creeds ( which there is 3) asfter that i was totally fine! BUt i don't know about this new part of the testing in which i will be testing in about a month an 3 weeks!!!!
What are some good tips/tricks for learning the kicks / strikes/ stances in korean??
Any good websites that are for korean martial arts terminology????

  1. Hi There Young Warrior,

    Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while, its been a pretty good summer here in the UK during June/July so I've been training hard and out and about on my motorbike :)

    To help you with the kicks - try writing them down (even if you can't spell the Korean words correctly just write it how you would say it) and then revise them.

    Looking on the net will show lots of variations of spelling of the words - I guess it depends on the Master who is teaching. But I use the Korean Text Books. If you treat yourself to Book 1 (they are not cheap) it will have all the answers you seek - plus its an awesome reference manual for your forms and techniques, plus theres a lot of history in there for the more dedicated student.

    Keep up the good work - I'm enjoying reading your blog.

    I've just updated mine for the first time in ages. www.babypowderboy.blogspot.com take a look when you got time. Try looking at the yellow belt articles - there's a tab on the left side for them.
