3rd Kup (Blue Belt Red Tag) Info

Introduction

Contents of Your Eighth TAGB Grading

Theory
 


Introduction

Yet more emphasis will be placed on the speed and power of the application of your techniques at this level, helping you to reach a stage of practical ability in self-defence. Still the technical details of each movement will also increase, but it is important that once you understand the moves and can perform them well technically you learn to reduce conscious thought processes and rely more on muscle memory; this will result in greater speed and flow. Your pattern contains a greater assortment of moves and combinations, including your second jump (predictably more difficult than your first at Blue Tag) and your second posture movement. At your grading you will again be asked to perform free sparring and semi-free sparring at advanced level, testing your improvement in reading your opponents movements quickly and responding with an appropriate block, performed block swiftly and powerfully, and an effective counter attack. You will also move onto 1 step sparring basic level, where you have the chance to choose your own block and sequence of counter attacks to a single punch. This is designed to help a student learn the effective action of finishing off an opponent with controlled movements in rapid motion.
