Introduction

Red Belts are generally the most dangerous of students, this is because they have a lot of power but not enough control of it. This is not a reason to go lightly though, as at this grade you will be expected to look more closely at the concepts of power; where it is created, how it is created it, how to maximise it and minimise energy wasted. Your pattern is relatively simple, but this allows for a lot more power to be applied to the moves, making it quite an impressive performance piece if done correctly. It also contains your third release move, a pull-push release. A lot of attention should be paid to detail, especially the target areas for the techniques, as even a powerful technique will lose most of its effectiveness if misplaced even by an inch. The techniques you will perform in line will consist of some interesting combinations of blocks, strikes and kicks, mostly originating from patterns; it will also contain jumping kicks, including one jumping spinning kick. These are incredibly hard to perform well at first, but hard work and a determined attitude will pay off. At your grading you can expect to be pretty exhausted, as they can ask you to perform any of the patterns and set sparring that you have learnt in the past, as well as semi-free sparring and free sparring. It will probably be your first true test of endurance.

Theory

Pattern - Hwa-Rang

  • Hwa-Rang means “flowering youth” and is named after the Hwa-Rang youth group which originated in the Silla Dynasty around 600AD. This group eventually became the actual driving force for the unification of the 3 kingdoms of Korea. The 29 moves refer to the 29th Infantry Division, where Tae Kwon-Do developed into maturity.

  • Hwa-Rang has 29 moves and begins in Closed Ready Stance "C"
