1 World Youn Wha Ryu Association Beginner s Curriculum Handbook Techniques and Forms Required at White Belt Level World Youn Wha Ryu Association, NMMA, LLC

2 White Belt Curriculum Foreword The Beginner s Curriculum Handbook is designed to be a reference guide to the techniques required at the white belt level as outlined by the Missouri Division of the World Youn Wha Ryu Association. The handbook is not designed as a replacement for training under an instructor certified in the Youn Wha Ryu Taekwondo system. Training and testing curricula are subject to change without notice. Please ask your instructor. 1

3 Grandmaster Man Hee Han 9 th Degree Black Belt World Youn Wha Ryu Taekwondo Association 2

4 White Belt Curriculum Grand Master Man H. Han Grandmaster Han has stated several times that he is indeed a blessed man. He has had the unique opportunity to train and master several martial arts. He was fortunate to train under three famous martial artists of his time. His first teacher was Son Bop Sa. Master Son was a traveling monk who had observed the young Man Han. He presented himself to the young man s mother and asked permission to take the boy along with him to educate him in meditation and martial arts. Permission was granted and the six-year-old Man went off with the monk to train and learn. Most of the training Grandmaster Han went through was strengthening and sensitizing of the mind. In other words, he was trained to have a strong "sixth sense" mainly through Zen and other mental activities. His training consisted of focusing the mind through meditation and qigong or breathing exercises. Six years later, the young Han began to long for home and asked his master for permission to go back and see his parents. The monk conceded and let the young man go. It would be the last time he would ever see his master. The second of his famous instructors was a man known as Byung In Yun. Master Yun taught Grandmaster Han a system called Kong Soo, one that predated Tae Kwon Do. Grandmaster Han began training under Master Yun at the age of 13. At the same time, the young Han met Sae Chong Wang. Master Wang was his Youn Wha instructor. Although the Youn Wha system contains forms, it is mainly a conglomeration of high level fighting techniques from all the martial art systems. During this same time period of middle school and high school, Grandmaster Han also studied Hwarangdo, Kendo, Hapkido, and various weapons. He has attained an 8th dan in Hwarang-do, 7th dan in Kendo, 8th dan in Hapkido, 4th dan in Judo and has trained extensively in 24 different weapons: rope, throwing star, double sticks, short stick, six foot staff, Hapkido cane, tonfa, sai, and others. After leaving high school, Grandmaster Han entered the law program at Kon Kuk University and graduated with his Bachelors degree. Grandmaster Han is a respected member of the martial arts community and was on the Board of Directors in the Korean Tae Kwon Do Federation in its early days. He helped design the Palgue forms presently used by the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. During his tenure with the Korean Tae Kwon Do Federation, Grandmaster Han was appointed president of the North Province of Seoul. Besides his martial arts credentials, Grandmaster Han served as a Special Tactics Instructor for the Korean Intelligence Agency, teaching martial art techniques to the Korean military. He was also called to train the 7th US Army Infantry Division from 1970 to 1972 in hand to hand combat and served as Close Combat Instructor for the 2nd Army Infantry Division from 1972 to In 1976, Grandmaster Han and his family made the choice to immigrate to the United States. His first encounter with the U.S. was New Jersey. From there the Han family moved to Tennessee, Florida, and in 1978, to Dallas, Texas. Grandmaster Han firmly believes that the Youn Wha Ryu is the best system available because of its completeness. He has a dream of reaching the entire world with the Youn Wha system, and through his instructors he hopes to accomplish this. 3

6 White Belt Curriculum 5

7 Stances, Movement & Turns The Bow: Arms to your side, Feet together, head and eyes down, body bent at waist at about 45. Choon-Bi: The Ready Position -Feet about shoulder width apart, head upright, eyes focused straight ahead, arms extended forward and down, elbows not locked, hands in tight fist, mind alert for instructor s command. Note: In this manual each stance will be identified as Right Front/Back or Left Front/Back Stance depending on which foot is forward of the body. 6

8 White Belt Curriculum Front Stance: The Front Stance is executed by placing one foot forward and to the side 1 ½ shoulder 1 ½ width apart. Both feet are flat on the Shoulder Width floor toes pointing forward. The forward knee is bent. The back leg is straight but not rigid. About 80% of your weight is on the front leg. Back Stance: The back stance is primarily used as a defensive posture; however it can and will be used offensively. One foot advances forward while the back foot rotates 90 with the knee pointed in the same direction over the foot. Both knees are bent. About 80% of the body weight is shifted to the back leg. Note the alignment of the heels of the feet. Horse Riding Stance: Feet are a comfortable distance apart pointing in the same direction. Knees are bent, back straight with body in a sitting position. Weight is centered over both feet equally. 7

9 Youn Wha Stance: Youn Wha Stance is similar to back stance, except the weight is shifted slightly further back locking the front leg straight. The arm over the front leg is in a Down Block position and the other arm is in a High Block position. Advancing in Stance Front Stance is advanced forward with what is called a C Step. The back foot is brought up beside the front foot then advanced forward into an identical stance with the opposite foot now positioned forward. The head should remain level during this movement, not bobbing up and down during the forward movement. The Back Stance is advanced by slightly lifting the back foot and sliding it forward of the other foot to its new position, again keeping body position low not bobbing the head up and down during the movement. The Riding Stance is advanced by shifting the weight to the front foot and sliding the rear foot forward ahead of the body as close to a straight line as possible. You will be facing the opposite direction. Keep body position low and head level. 8

10 White Belt Curriculum Turns Do not be anxious if turns initially are bewildering. This is normal for most students. Please be assured that with little time and practice turns will become effortless and even automatic. Be patient with yourself. Turns will be taught and practiced in the Basic Technique and the Forms portion of each class period. In Basic Technique all turns are 180 turns (reversing direction), as illustrated by the shaded feet in the Left Front Stance feet position diagram below: The turn is executed by (Step #1) shifting your weight forward to your Left foot sliding the back foot along a straight line (as diagrammed) to the left side. (Step #2) Rotate a 180 turn to the Right on the balls of both feet ending up in a good Right Front Stance facing in the opposite direction. Original feet position Step #1 Move Right foot to left Step #2 Rotate 180 to Right 9

14 White Belt Curriculum Kicking Techniques Learning to kick effectively is a very important part of the World Youn Wha Association system of martial arts. This is in evidence by the number and variety of kicks, martial arts students are required to perform at each belt level testing. The purpose of this section is to outline the proper techniques for the basic kicks taught at white belt, providing the opportunity to improve your kicking effectiveness. Kicking effectively in practice, and especially sparring, is far from easy and requires many hours of practicing proper technique. Effective kicking requires knowledge, timing, flexibility, relaxation, speed, balance, accuracy, and lack of pre-motion. With counsel from your instructor you can decide which of these elements you need to work on the most, but do not neglect to become skillful in all the fundamentals. As you develop in your martial arts training each of the above fundamentals will take on a role of increased emphasis. The following discussion on kicking techniques cannot cover all the information on the subject, and is intended to point out some basic concepts that you should call attention to early in your training in order that you can become effective in your kicking. For explanation purposes each kick is divided into three basic elements: 1) Initial stance 2) Chambering 3) Execution Initial stance takes into consideration the respective position of the target, balance, your body position, and pre-motion. Chambering is the position of the body and legs in preparation to launching the strike and, in the early stages of learning to kick effectively, this element is perhaps the most important. Chambering is the element many students do not execute properly and, therefore; do not develop a good effective kick no matter how hard they try in their later training. The Execution element incorporates the coordinated movements of the leg and the body to strike the target. It must be emphasized that lack of pre-motion, speed of the kick, edge, and accuracy must be developed as essential basics while learning the physical components to accomplish each kick. For further information please refer to the Basics and Kicking Section of the Encyclopedia of Youn Wha Ryu. 13

15 Fighting Stance The initial stance for most kicks is the kicking or fighting stance. This can be either left foot forward or right foot forward. The kicks shown in this manual assume a left foot forward fighting stance (with the exception of back step side kick and jump front snap kick) and kicks are executed with the right leg. Note that the weight is evenly distributed on each leg and hands are in a guard position. Fighting stances vary from student to student but all allow for easy movement of legs and smooth kicking. Foot Positions of Kicks The foot position of each kick and the striking area should be well defined. 1. Ball of Foot Toes are pulled back and the ball of the foot makes contact with the target. Examples include front snap kick, jump front snap kick. 2. Outside and Inside edge of foot - The blade edge of the foot is used primarily in crescent kicks. The outside edge is used for inside out crescent kick and the inside edge for outside-in crescent kick and variants. 3. Instep Toes are pointed and the tip of the foot (instep) is used as the striking surface. Used in roundhouse kicks and variants. 4. Heel The entire foot is flexed back (unlike in the front kick position) and the striking surface is the heel. The heel is used in side kicks, back kicks and axe kicks and their variants. Please note that white belt level kicks begin and end in the same fighting stance. Balance is important and after kicking, the kicking leg should return along the same path returning to the initial fighting stance. In the following photographs, the return path is omitted. 14

16 White Belt Curriculum Kicks at White Belt Level Straight Leg Kick 1. Fighting Stance Initial Position 2. Execute the kick by swinging the bag leg straight up in the air, pulling the toes back. The leg is kept straight but not locked. There is no chamber motion in this kick. 3. Return along the same path to the initial fighting stance. Please note that straight leg kick at the white belt level is used primarily as a stretching kick. It should not be used in sparring. Inside-Out Crescent Kick 1. Fighting Stance Initial Position 2. Turn body and hips slightly to left. 3. Execute the kick by swinging the leg in a wide arc going across your body ending to the outside making an almost complete circle back to the fighting stance. 3F. Front view of the kick showing the width of the arc. This kick is used to attack the sides of the head in sparring (use caution). 15

17 Front Snap Kick 1. Fighting Stance Initial Position 2. Chamber the kick by lifting the knee of the kicking leg up pointing the knee at the intended target. Pull the toes of the kicking foot back at this point. 3. Execute the kick by extending the leg in a snapping motion forward, hitting with the ball of the foot. Return to initial stance by rechambering the leg and placing it on the ground again. Primary targets in sparring are the torso. Roundhouse Kick 1. Fighting Stance Initial Position 2. Chamber the kick by lifting the knee up and to the side. The leg should be flexed with the toes of the kicking foot pointed. 3. Execute the kick by pivoting on the planted leg and snapping the kicking foot in a horizontal path across your body. The instep of the foot is used as the striking surface. Return to initial fighting stance along the same path. The targets used in sparring are the torso and side of the head please use caution. 16

18 White Belt Curriculum Side Kick 1. Fighting Stance Initial Position 2. Kicking leg is lifted high while pivoting to a side facing position. Notice that the kicking foot is pulled back aiming at the target with the heel. The knee, hip and heel should be aligned. 3. Execute the kick using a powerful thrusting action of the hip, extending the leg and thrusting the heel into the target. Return to position 1 along the same path. This kick is the most powerful kick learned at white belt and is used in sparring to the torso of the opponent. Extreme caution should be used. Back Step Side Kick In order to kick with the right leg, one must assume a right leg forward fighting position. 1. Modified Side facing fighting stance Initial Position 2. The back leg steps up behind the front leg allowing the hips of the kicking leg to turn towards the target. 3. The chamber of this kick is the same as that of Side Kick Above 4. Execute the kick as in side kick. Rechamber the leg and place the foot down on the floor. You will have moved forward by one step at this point. As in side kick, the target in sparring for this kick is the torso. This kick however covers more distance that that of the side kick. 17

19 Jump Front Snap Kick 1. Fighting Stance Initial Position. Right foot forward 2. Initial Chamber lift left knee up as if preparing for a front snap kick 3. Jump in the air with boot feet. 4. Chamber the right leg and execute a front snap kick while in the air, landing in fighting stance as in 1. This kick, as in front snap kick, targets the torso. Fighting Pattern 1 1. Fighting Stance Initial Position 2. Execute Front Snap Kick, landing the foot forward. 3. As the kicking foot lands on the ground, execute a punch (jab) with the same side. 4. Execute a reverse punch. 5. Execute a front snap kick with the same side as that of the reverse punch. Place the kicking foot down in front of you. You will have taken two steps forward at this point. Fighting patterns are extremely important sparring tools. They are effective combinations used to close distance and to pressure an opponent. Note that in sparring, punches are used to the body of the opponent only. 18

20 White Belt Curriculum Forms Introduction: Forms are a sequence of basic techniques designed in a specific fighting pattern. They are an integral part of martial arts training in the World Youn Wha Ryu Association. They train your body to move from one basic technique to another in an efficient and effective manner while harmonizing the emotions, mind and body. Forms are designed to illustrate patterns that may be used in sparring or street fighting. They will become longer and more complex in their combinations as you progress in rank. Forms are a very important part of your training designed to help you develop the ability to integrate mind, spirit and body in harmony. Mind and body are easy to define and understand, but what is this about spirit? Spirit is your inner self, attitude, how and what you know about yourself and others around you, as well as awareness of a Power beyond our capability to perceive directly. To execute the form, as it was designed and intended to be done, requires all three spirit, mind and body to be in harmony. This is extremely difficult for a beginning martial arts student to learn, and indeed some high ranking martial artists have not learned. With this being the case, what can you do that will put you on the right track until this learning comes to you. When you begin your training you probably will not have an understanding of the value of, or what forms can teach you. The best thing for you to do is to listen intently, understand what is expected of you initially, and allow faith in your instructor to take precedent over your own thinking. The real value of what forms are training you to do will begin to come clear sometime in the future. Accept this as a reality and your progress will come much faster. This cannot be emphasized enough!!! You will accelerate your martial arts training if you pay particular attention to what your instructor is teaching you in the proper way to execute each form. Initially you will focus on learning the required sequence of techniques, but do not allow the memorizing process to take priority over executing each technique properly. The first guideline is to perform each technique properly. The second is that you relax during each movement. The body is tense only at the impact of the strike. Snap your body into each movement with no pre-motion. This can be accomplished only if you have a relaxed mind and body. Focus, speed and acceleration are the keys - not effort. It will soon become obvious to you that you cannot keep the form sequences and these guidelines in your mind simultaneously. That is where a peaceful mind and spirit along with practice, practice, practice and more practice comes to bear. You cannot accomplish this when upset, frustrated, angry or under stress. We cannot overemphasize that this often requires years of training, so don t expect it to come quickly. The important thing to do now is to learn what the higher ranks can teach you and, realize this process is something to be achieved. It will come when you are ready for it to come. 19

21 Levels of Learning: It will be helpful for you to be aware of the four levels of learning. They are: 1. Unconsciously incompetent (You are unaware that you don t know how to do it) 2. Consciously incompetent (You become aware that you don t know how to do it) 3. Consciously competent (You can do it only when you think about it) 4. Unconsciously competent (You do it without thinking about it, No mind ) Each level must be attained before you can proceed to the next level of learning. Have patience, allow yourself time for your mind and body to become coordinated enough to accomplish what you are trying to do. This takes time, effort, and devotion. It will help if you learn to: 1) Discover and utilize your individual learning style, 2) Give yourself time, 3) Do not compare your progress with others, 4) Block out all feelings of frustration--they only make matters worse. Enjoy learning forms, and have fun doing them. They will teach you a lot if you relax and strive to do each technique properly with edge. Executing Forms: The manner in which you carry yourself physically and mentally when executing forms is of the utmost importance. Develop a spirit of quietness, and speed when executing your form. Attack with conviction, purpose, quickness and power. Do not be tense; be in complete control with excellent balance. Focus on each punch and kick. Execute your form with your spine erect and straight. Your shoulders relaxed and lowered, chin up looking straight into the eyes of your real or imagined opponent. Tighten your abdominal muscles and plant your big toes into the ground. Move with conviction, quickness and power. Make yourself bigger in your mind intimidating your opponent. Think how you wish to be seen by your opponent, see yourself with your own eyes not concerned about the eyes of others. Be true to yourself. Every movement will utilize the principle of Ying-Yang. A powerful punch demands that you strike straight and true, bringing the other hand back into a chambered mode. Always return your punch and kick along the same path it traveled out, chambering the opposite to strike again quickly. Execute it with authority, not in a lazy manner. Your punch or kick it is an attack of the entire body, not just the hand or foot. Every movement is considered a part of the whole body. Losing your balance, and falling forward after a kick, is indicative of an improper movement, and a serious loss of poise. Forms utilize both sides of your body; practice all techniques diligently from both sides becoming functional from any direction. Work hard at not showing a weakness on either side. Attitude is extremely important. Train hard to the point where you will not be conscious of the particular technique you are using. This will eliminate hesitation. Your mentality should be a quiet gentleness. When others see your form you want them to prefer to fight someone else. Remember the ultimate aim of your martial arts training is not having to use the training. 20

22 White Belt Curriculum Turning in Forms In early Martial Arts training students often become confused learning which way to turn. Remember, you are learning very important basic skills that are a vital part of your training. These techniques must become automatic when and if you are called upon to utilize your Martial Arts training. All Basic and Palgue Forms 1 thru 6 have an identical I pattern. It is important to practice executing forms correctly so that each technique will be done instinctively when needed. The following explanation may help you understand why you turn a specific way. In which direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) do I turn in the forms? Your first 9 forms all have an identical pattern. That pattern is defined by the letter I. To better understand the turns I will illustrate the I pattern this way: You start here facing #3 Think of this pattern on 1 2 the floor Start of the dojang. You begin the form standing at the intersection of the two lines at the base of the I facing the top of the I (#3). The arrows indicate direction you will face to encounter each opponent. Your first opponent (#1) will be on your left. Always turn in the direction such that you will face the inside of the I while turning do not turn your back to the I. For example, after attacking #1 you will turn clockwise (right) 180 to face and encounter #2. From #2 you will turn Counter-clockwise (left) 90 to encounter #3. Hopefully the following table will help: From To Turn Direction Start #1 90 Counter-Clockwise (left) #1 #2 180 Clockwise (right) #2 #3 90 Counter-Clockwise (left) #3 #4 270 Counter-Clockwise (left) #4 #5 180 Clockwise (right) #5 Start 90 Counter-Clockwise (left) Start #1 270 Counter-Clockwise (left) #1 #2 180 Clockwise (right) #2 Start 90 Counter-Clockwise (left) 21
