5th Kup (Green Belt Blue Tag) Info

Introduction

Contents of Your Sixth TAGB Grading

Theory
 

Introduction

Your pattern consists of a much greater variety of moves than in any previous pattern and will introduce you to your first jump, testing your control and balance. At your grading you will be asked for the first time to perform patterns from previous grades as well as your own, assessing your advancement and understanding of the more technical details of basic moves. Techniques performed in line will come mostly from your grade pattern, but will also include your second spinning kick, the reverse turning kick. In semi-free sparring you will be expected to choose appropriate block for an unknown sequence of basic kicks performed by a partner. You will also advance to 2 step set sparring, more complicated and effective than the 3 step set sparring, teaching you useful attack and defence combinations and testing your distancing ability further. For the first time you will also be asked to perform semi-contact (light contact) free sparring with a variety of partners, wearing of course a complete set of padded sparring equipment for safety.
