Although I don't want the comment section of this video to become a debate forum, I decided to approve your comment and reply. I agree that the key is to apply the technique and speed on the downward motion and that it is important for the downward motion to be in the direction of the technique. The wave creates a very natural movement and momentum that can only add to the power. All I can say is that when I applied sine wave to my technique, I started breaking a lot more material. Try it.
You're welcome. Thank you for the comment. Is there anything in particular you would like to see me discuss or cover in the future? I would like to post more video on subjects of interest to TKD students.
Hi NewcomerUSTF, thanks for replying to me, my point still stands however. I suggest that the application of momentum and the use of your bodymass in your hand-techniques is why you're breaking more material. As a TKD practitioner, it might be that poor success prior to using the sine-wave may be as a result of lack of focus on hand and arm striking techniques (I am saying this without knowing you personally at all). Correct mechanical application is always the key - for kicking or striking.
Each movement in a pattern stands on its own, except where two movements are performed as one, such as in connecting or continuous motions. Therefore, it's a mistake to move quickly between each individual movement or stance. Speed, however, is important in the execution of the individual techniques in the pattern. I recommend reading the General's "Encyclopedia of Taekwon-do" or write to me at newcomerustf@aol.com for more information.
I am sorry but the only benefit Sine wave provides is the dropping of body mass WHEN THE APPLICATION OF THE MASS IS IN THE SAME DIRECTION OF THE TECHNIQUE... the rest is useless movement and pseudo science... Seems to me to be another incorrect interpretation of a valid concept inappropriately applied in the wrong context, which to be honest is what TKD has done repeatedly since its inception (a bad habit it picked up from Shotokan Karate and I say this as a Shotokan Practitioner)
What a great explanation and pratical application of sine wave
Thank you for sharing this video Sir!

Why is the gentleman performing the pattern moving so slowly? Is it so the spectators can easily see all the movements?

Excellent video. Taekwon!
i like the explanation, this is a great video, thanks for sharing!! :)
Yes! Exactly! You get it. Proper application of momentum and bodymass. Also known as ... sine wave. :-)
