Kim Jung Hoon made himself a club south of Seoul and has a lot of new instructional vids that have a LOT of REALLY GOOD STUFF for us amatures to learn from... just like his tak9.com vids.
I select one of them with a lot of nuggets -the FH stroke.
KJH is simply talking about very basic concepts... but we armatures get those fundamentals all wrong sometimes.
Here is the youtube vid, I explain his major stuff in general. Bonus points for anyone who can correctly state what are the 6 areas KJH summarizes at the end of the vid.
KJH starts off by talking about how important it is to have a decent form for your FH. He starts with the easy stuff.
:20 to 2:00 Grip !!!
- Some pros can have a loose grip way low. KJH recommends starting with a grip that is choked up all the way up to the wing of the bat. (Der_Echte note: I know many good amatures who use the wing of the bat to feel the impact, instead of their first finger)
- KJH recommends to choke up all the way to the wing. Do a test. Hold up bat and try to push the tip. Grip bat only tight enough to keep bat stable with a push of the finger.
2:00 and on KJH talks about the FH swing. Too many players try to rush their impact and hit too far in front. There is not much efficient power transfer going on there, this keep you hitting without power and on power shots you miss more.
- KJH recommends you impact the ball deeper in your zone, not in front of body, but on the side. He also spent a lot of time talking about why it is important to have a small backswing and rotate shoulders back.
- KJH spent a lot of time talking about why amatures who dont use a backswing try for a power shot and have a follow through that is way too long - that prevents recovery in a fast rally.
- KJH recommends rotating shoulders back for 30 percent of the swing and let the swing and its follow through cover 70 percent of the entire swing. This leaves the finish of the swing right in front of your face (instead of over your shoulder or behind Ur head) which allows you to reset quickly and hang in those fast FH to FH rallies.
- JKH recommends at least a fist depth or more between bat and nose at finish of storke.
- KJH recommends the height of finish should depend on individual, but most can finish around eyes/nose/chin level.
At 6:40 onward KJH talks up a storm about some basic parts of the FH swing.
- KJH emphasizes to use a backswing, look at ball, hold bat up (dont close bat - open bat angle. He is talking about basic incoming balls without a lot of topspin) impact on side, do not do excessive follow through, reset
from 8-11 min KJH emphasizes not to over swing and have too much a follow through.
- KJH says too much follow through will hurt your chances of making the next shot or keeping a rally
- KJH talks about the height of your finish. Nose level is baseline, some go a bit higher, some lower
- KJH emphasizes that there must be a backswing and a follow through.
- KJH discusses in detail the 30/70 concept of having 30 percent of your swing be a backswing that rotates shoulders back, then the rest be the swing/impact/follow through. The backswing and turning of shoulders are what keeps your follow through from being excessive.
Der_Echte Note: In Taekwondo, you are doing a swing on balance in a way so that immediately you can swing right away with the other side in rhythm immediately after impact and it is repeatable, so you are hammering away smoothly like an engine piston on balance with power transfer. One hit sets up the other in time and balance for a continued quick attack. The weight transfer is always set to immediately start with the other side to go into action with quickness and power.
11:30 KJH talks about how important it is to square your shoulders at impact towards where you want the ball to go. He demonstrates by doing it wrong (he does that a lot and it confuses those who do not understand Korea and watch his vids) then laters shows what happens when you do it right.
At the end of the vid, he summarizes 6 things, bonus points to all who can get all 6 right.
He finishes by encouraging practice (think - shadow... and club)
Hope you like hiz vids, they got a lot of worthwhile stuff.
