HYUNG
Hyung means style, pattern, or
form. More specifically, in martial arts a Hyung
is an organized movement, which includes a series of defensive and offensive
movements.
When performing a Hyung
the student turns inward to himself to achieve focus and practices to develop
self-discipline and timing.
A Hyung
is the perfect way to practice techniques. With only one's self to consider, the
student is able to concentrate on the precise performance of the technique
rather than defending an actual attack.
Practice
principles:
1. Eyes;
bright, focus and following the technique.
2. Spirit;
calm and composed.
3. Body;
low and smooth.
4. Feet;
precise move.
5. Hands;
soft, agile, sharp and precise.
Keep these five principles in mind when practicing
forms. Continuous practice will allow the joints, nerves, muscles and internal
organs to become more youthful and flexible.
