4th Kup (Blue Belt) Info

Introduction

Contents of Your Seventh TAGB Grading

Theory
 

Introduction

When you have reached this grade you will be considered a senior colour belt (as apposed to a junior colour belt), and will need to show an increased advancement not only in technical ability but also speed and power. You pattern is more complex with more detailed combinations, including changes into new and obscure stances which need particular emphasis, and your second release move which challenges your natural instinct to pull away when grabbed. You will also learn your first posture movement, performed in slow motion. Like your last grading, you will be asked to perform patterns for previous grades as well, to test your advancement in these. You will also be asked to perform the last of the 2 step sparring, consisting of more complicated combinations; and advanced level 3 step semi-free sparring, where you will need to perform appropriate blocks quickly and powerfully against a sequence of unknown attack techniques from both hands and feet. This will teach you to read your opponent's moves better, helping you also in your free sparring; which again you will also have to perform.
