What is the difference between this pushing and the one in the pattern HwaRang, which we (ITF) refer to as a "pushing" block?Skryfblokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329458286217107784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-73543720894686338012011-04-12T07:05:48.813+02:002011-04-12T07:05:48.813+02:00That's a very thorough coverage of the hooking...That's a very thorough coverage of the hooking block. FYI - I've included a link from my post to yours. <br /><br />We call it a pressing block because that's how my school teaches it. Our lineage is handed to us from GM Jhoon Rhee, who came to the US in 1955/6, and his version of this technique is slightly different from the current ITF version. In fact, our style requires you to do the technique with elbow up (negating the 'hooking' motion that you have indicated). For the reason it is applied in a 'pressing' manner encourages me to interpret the technique as a joint break or takedown.Colin Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777513509370303056noreply@blogger.com
