BD Natural Motion Techniques
There are a number of techniques whose purpose isn’t to strike the opponent’s body or limbs. These are done in a softer way, not percussive but neither are they slow motion unless explicitly specified so. This motion is called natural motion and applies to scooping blocks, hooking blocks, Yul-Gok tul #1 & 4, and several […]
BD Fast Motion Punches
Fast motion punching is performed with a truncated sinewave. Here I compare walking stance punches in normal and fast motions. In fast motion only the ankle is used to produce sinewave; in normal motion both the ankle and the knee contribute.
BD Efficient Patterns Practise #3
There are large groups of techniques in patterns that are very similar to one another. It makes sense to practice them together, as the use much the same muscle groups and trajectories, with only a few differences in tool, height and stance. This group, the bent armed blocks and strikes, bring the attacking or blocking […]

BD Efficient Patterns Practise #1
There are large groups of techniques in patterns that are very similar to one another. It makes sense to practice them together, as the use much the same muscle groups and trajectories, with only a few differences in tool, height and stance. This group is the straight armed punches and thrusts – they make up […]
BD Rising Block Method
Here’s a rising block method I learned from Master Breen. Using some elbow action increases the speed of the block and reduces the stiffness you sometimes see when only the shoulder and upper back muscles are used. Properly, the block should travel slightly outward across the body from the chamber at the floating ribs to […]
