The
beginning student may ask, “where does one obtain the power to create
the devastating results attributed to Tae Kwon-Do?” This power is
attributed to the utilisation of a person’s full potential strength
through the mathematical application of Tae Kwon-Do techniques. The
average person only uses 10 to 20% of their potential. Anyone,
regardless of age, size or sex, who can condition himself or herself to
use 100% of his potential can also perform the same destructive
techniques.
Though training will certainly result in a superb level of physical
fitness, it will not necessarily result in the acquisition of
extraordinary stamina or superhuman strength. More important, Tae
Kwon-Do training will result in obtaining a high level of reaction
force, concentration, equilibrium, breath control and speed; and these
are the factors that will result in a high degree of physical power.
REACTION FORCE: Not only your own reaction force, but your
opponents own force against him/herself.
CONCENTRATION: Use of all your force upon a small area of your
target increases its effect.
EQUILIBRIUM: Balance, it’s important to maintain balance in all
aspects of attack and defence.
BREATH CONTROL: Helps you with stamina, ability to take a blow,
augments your power when using Tae Kwon-Do.
SPEED: Must be used to augment the other four:- "Force equals
mass times acceleration" - use hip twist to increase mass. |
