SOLEDAD SERRANO SESSIONS 1-2-3-4

Soledad Serrano is shown here working with 12 year old Jack Morrison on a 4 part sparring drill.

The drill required some memory and co-ordination – not easy when you have been training with Miss Serrano for nearly an hour!

You can see Jack starting to fatigue – but nothing can compare to what she makes him do in the next clip!

This free clip is part of a coaching session by Soledad Serrano.

DON’T JUST MOVE WITH NOTHING

The session begins with Mr Trotter explaining the set-up for the drill.

This drill involves squaring the body slightly to invite in a side kick. The lead hand is then used to counter at the same time as the back hand blocks.

This free clip is part of a coaching session focussing on developing an effective counter against the side kick.

I NEED INTENT

Someone trying to hurt you has a distinct advantage…

A martial artist must be able to switch immediately to have the mindset capable of being able to defend him or herself – “I need Intent”.

This free clip is part of a Master Class by Master Mark Hutton.

DOES IT HURT?

“Well yeah, a little bit. Hurts more when it doesn’t break aye!”

World Champion & Expert Coach Mr Brendan Doogan goes on to explain how to hold the arm correctly and adjust the distance for the break. You then see Mr Doogan use his entire body to deliver an elbow strike that easily demolishes the board – effortlessly. This is something he worked on in the class – getting the students to perform exaggerated movements to develop power and follow-through.

Mr Doogan has trained for over 18 years and is an International Instructor, International Umpire, World Champion in Power Breaking, Assistant New Zealand Coach, and a member of the Standards and Discipline and Tournament Advisor Groups in New Zealand.

BREAKING CLASS

An coaching session on breaking for juniors and seniors by former World Champion Brendan Doogan.

In this video Mr Brendan Doogan coaches two classes on breaking.

Firstly see how he teaches junior belts how to break in a way that builds their confidence and ability in a fun way.

Then for the seniors Mr Doogan encourages the students to “go crazy” with the execution of their techniques to build the power required for big breaks. This is done alone, then with bags, then on the boards!

If you are interested in improving your breaking, or an instructor wanting a few new ideas for how to teach it, this video is for you.

Video Highlights

Practice! How to go from “terrible at breaking” to a World Champ.

Side kick break from facing backwards

Stamping through boards to gain confidence and the appreciation of the force required to break

Front elbow, knifehand strike and side kick breaks

Your back leg is where the power comes from

Does it hurt?

“Just Walk Away” AND MUCH MORE

PO-EUN TUL (1st DAN PATTERNS)

In Po-Eun tul the X-stance front blocks are challenging, and the timing of the feet and hands is important. Mr Trotter explains to double world champion Roisin Giles how delaying the hands until you reach the upward part of the sinewave will ensure you get good speed in the block.

The full video is full of hints and tips to improve this pattern for competition or grading.

KWANG-GAE TUL (1st DAN PATTERNS)

Mr Mark Trotter coaches double world champion Roisin Giles on Kwang-Gae tul, and in this clip you see one of the exercises he uses to improve the load of the side piercing kick. By getting the knee to come back and hit the hand in an exaggerated motion, the range of motion and kicking power improves.

BANDAE DOLLYO CHAGI

Master Thierry Meyour (7th dan, Finland) teaches the reverse turning kick as a counter attack.

He instructs his students to aim at around the chest height, anticipating the opponent will be leaning slightly as they attack – so that the kick will then score at head level.

See more from Master Thierry Meyour's quick-fire workshop filmed especially for TKDCoaching.com from his Do-jang in Tampere, Finland.

DEVASTATING SIDE KICK

Master Hutton has a beautiful side piercing kick, and he can place it precisely where he wants every time. You will not see him do too many flashy high kicks though as it’s all about reality and effectiveness.

He emphasises how essential the supporting foot is to pivot and push his energy through the target.

CORE, CORE & MORE CORE

Master Hutton demonstrates how to involve the whole body to generate power in a front snap kick. His message of Core, Core and More Core is emphasised again as he does throughout the seminar.

Master Huttons reminds the students not to use this kick unless you are “devastating at it” as it is for close distance situations.

POWER BREAKING & THE THEORY OF POWER

Power breaking World Champion Mr Brendan Doogan explains the five competition power breaks as they relate to the Theory of Power.

The ITF power breaking events comprise five techniques:

Forefist punch

Knifehand strike

Side piercing kick

Turning kick

Reverse turning kick

Mr Doogan demonstrates each of the techniques and explains how knowing about the “Theory of Power” can help execute these techniques well. The Theory of Power is a list of six factors General Choi Hong Hi prescribes as the essential elements to gaining power in your techniques. These are:

Reaction Force

Concentration

Equilibrium

Breath Control

Mass

Speed

In this 5 minute clip Mr Doogan picks a couple of key points relating to these factors and shows you how to put them into practice.

THE ILLUSION OF RANGE

Mr van Roon spends a good amount of time in the session talking about range, and the illusion of range – or positioning yourself so that you are able to entice your opponent to do what you want them to do. Your positioning and stance must be perfect so that you can move just out of range and then counter.
