Taekwondo Back L-Stance and Olympic Taekwondo Tickets

Niunja Sogi (Dwi-gibi Sogi) is a standard fight stance used in Taekwondo to prepare for kicking. The body is turned to present only the side to the opponent and the legs are split one and a half shoulder widths apart. The front foot points directly forwards while the back leg is turned out just under 90 degrees. The feet are lined up along the heels. To make sure you have the L-stance properly aligned, stand with your feet together, turn out the toes and step the back foot directly backwards into the stance. 70% of the weight should be on the back leg which means the front leg can be engaged in quick kicking and it will not unbalance the practitioner if swept.

Taekwondo Walking Stance and Olympic Taekwondo Tickets

Gunnun Sogi or Ahp sogi is used to approach or retreat in combat and poomsae. Feet should be maintained shoulder width apart except when stepping, where the leading foot moves outwards marginally. To maintain a solid base, each step should put about a shoulder width between feet, and the stance should be a shoulder width-and-a-half long. When stopping in the middle of a step, the back foot should be inclined outwards slightly to aid balance.

Taekwondo Closed Stance and Olympic Taekwondo Tickets

Moa Sogi means the feet are parallel and close together. It can be side facing or front facing to your opponent. It is used to simulate the practitioner being restrained, i.e. where the arms are in front of the practitioners face with one fist covered by the opposite hand. The opening movements of won hyo tul are a prime example of this where the practitioner starts off in moa sogi and then bursts out of their attackers grasp with a twin forearm block.

Taekwondo Attention Stance and Olympic Taekwondo Tickets

Attention, or more properly, Charyeot, is a stance where your body is in a upright standing position with the legs side by side, heels touching, toes slightly apart. Your hands should be parallel with your body, to the side. From this stance instructors explain what will be taught during the class session and/or if they want your attention they say Charyeot, meaning you stop whatever you are doing and get into the stance awaiting further instructions.

USA Taekwondo and Olympic Taekwondo Tickets

USA Taekwondo (USAT) is the national governing body (NGB) of Taekwondo for the United States Olympic Committee (USOC); as such, it is the official Member National Association of the World Taekwondo Federation in the USA. USAT has complete authority over all decisions regarding US national junior and senior team selections for World Taekwondo Federation events, including the Summer Olympic Games Taekwondo competition event.

The group formed in the 1970s as the AAU National Taekwondo Association, but later broke away from the AAU and created the United States Taekwondo Union (USTU). In 2005, its name changed again to USA Taekwondo after the USOC took over the governance of the USTU in 2004. In 2006, the first USAT Board of Directors was elected by the membership. After attempted mediation in October 2011, the matter went to the USOC Hearing Panel. This Hearing Panel issued their ruling and decision on February 27, 2012 finding the USAT out of compliance with the Ted Stevens Act, the USOC Constitution and the USAT bylaws and recommended putting USAT on probation and creating an Oversight Committee.

Taekwondo Ranks and Belts (III)

In contrast, promotion from one Dan to the next can take years. The general rule is that a black belt may advance from one rank to the next only after the number of year’s equivalent to the current rank. For example, a newly-promoted third-degree black belt may not be allowed to advance to fourth-degree until four years have passed. Some organizations also have age requirements related to Dan promotions, and may grant younger student’s poom junior black belt ranks rather than Dan ranks until they reach a certain age.

Black belt ranks may have titles associated with them, such as "master" and "instructor" but taekwondo organizations vary widely in rules and standards when it comes to ranks and titles. What holds true in one organization may not hold true in another, as is the case in many martial art systems. For example, achieving first Dan ranking with three years' training might be typical in one organization, but fast in another organization, and likewise for other ranks. Similarly, the title for a given Dan rank in one organization might not be the same as the title for that Dan rank in another organization.

In the International Taekwon-Do Federation, instructors holding 1st to 3rd Dan are called Boosabum (assistant instructor), those holding 4th to 6th Dan are called Sabum (Instructor), those holding 7th to 8th Dan are called Sahyun (master), and those holding 9th Dan are called Saseong (grand master). This system does not, however, necessarily apply to other taekwondo organizations. Olympic Taekwondo Tickets are being sold rapidly at Sport Ticket Exchange.  Sport Ticket Exchange offers you all sorts of Olympic Tickets especially Olympic Taekwondo Tickets at affordable rates.
