The preparation posture, also known as actual combat posture or preparation posture, is the basic standing posture of both sides at the beginning of competitive taekwondo competition. The preparation posture should be convenient for offensive and defensive counterattack and footwork movement. The following is how I share the preparation posture and footwork training of Taekwondo for you. Welcome to read and browse.

1, action flow

(1) Feet are shoulder width apart and arms are vertical to both sides.

② Place your left foot or right foot in front of the other foot, and stand with your feet one step apart so that your body faces each other. At the same time, the hands are half clenched, the shoulders sink, and the elbows naturally bend (the left foot is ready for the left frame and the right foot is ready for the right frame).

(3) the center of gravity falls between the feet, knees slightly bent, eyes looking up at each other's face, chin slightly closed.

2, action essentials

(1) The positions of the two arms are not fixed, and one arm can droop or both arms can droop.

② The distance between feet and the height of the center of gravity can be adjusted according to the specific situation. In principle, the center of gravity can be adjusted as soon as possible when moving.

(3) If the center of gravity drops and the included angle between the big leg and the small leg is almost equal to 90 degrees, it is a low position.

3. Preventive measures

At this time, the athlete may not stand in a fixed position. Experienced athletes often take the initiative to step back or move a few steps to one side, so that opponents have to adjust their preparation posture with themselves. This is a good time for your opponent to attack or attack yourself. Athletes should practice this aspect in their usual training.

(2) If both athletes stand on the left frame or the right frame, it is called closed position. If one side is the left frame and the other side is the second frame, both sides are called open stations.

Generally speaking, athletes have a leg that they often use, that is, the leg that feels confident in attack point or defensive counterattack, both in speed and strength. This leg is called dominant leg or main leg or point leg. Due to the habits in life, the average athlete takes the right leg as the dominant leg.

④ Generally, athletes who are used to scoring with their front legs often put their dominant legs in front. If the left leg is the dominant leg, athletes often stand in the correct frame preparation posture. However, athletes who often use backspin kick usually put their dominant legs behind them. If the right leg is the dominant leg, they often stand in the correct frame preparation posture.

Self-taught Taekwondo Course: Basic Footsteps

Basic footwork in preparation posture refers to the method of moving in different directions after standing in preparation posture. Due to the restriction of Taekwondo rules, athletes mainly attack and counterattack with legs in the competition, so whether the athlete's footwork is flexible or not determines whether his attack and defense or counterattack can achieve the goal to some extent.

1, previous step

① Action process

Stand in the right frame preparation posture (hereinafter referred to as "right frame"), and step forward with your right foot to become the left frame preparation posture (hereinafter referred to as "left frame"). or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium

② essentials of action

The last step is done by twisting the waist to the left and turning the hips. The arm naturally moves up and down on the side, and the center of gravity should not fluctuate too much.

③ Practical use

The previous step is often used to force the opponent to retreat or lure him to attack, but when the opponent uses the previous step, he can immediately attack the opponent by attacking.

Step 2 step back

① Action process

Standing on the right frame, the left foot retreats, which becomes the preparation posture of the left frame and vice versa.

② essentials of action

When retreating, the center of gravity keeps moving smoothly, which is accomplished by twisting the waist to the left and turning the hips, and the arm naturally moves up and down on the side.

③ Practical use

When backing up, it is often used when the opponent uses the forward spin kick. When the opponent is ready to continue to attack, you can use the side kick of the front leg or whip the leg or press down to stop the opponent.

Step 3 leap forward

① Action process

Stand on the right frame, jump forward with both feet at the same time, and keep the right frame ready, and vice versa.

② essentials of action

When jumping forward, the center of gravity should not fluctuate too much. Try to move your center of gravity smoothly and keep your feet off the ground.

③ Practical use

When jumping forward, it is often used to quickly approach the opponent and use offensive actions such as spinning kick or pressing down. When the opponent jumps forward, he can greet the opponent with a split kick, a back kick or a back spin kick, but sometimes the opponent uses the forward jump to lure him to adjust his center of gravity after counterattack, so that he can take a step back without being used by the opponent.

Step 4 step back (step back)

① Action process

Stand on the right frame, both feet back at the same time, and keep the right frame ready, and vice versa.

② essentials of action

When you step back, don't fluctuate too much. Try to move your center of gravity smoothly and keep your feet off the ground.

③ Practical use

When an opponent attacks, he often uses a step back when he needs to quickly pull away from his opponent. At this time, because he has a backward inertia, it is difficult to use offensive action again. He usually uses fighting actions such as reverse kick or backspin kick. Therefore, if the opponent uses the back step, he should stop the opponent's blocking action. If you use a combination of movements, you usually use a side kick, a kick or a swing when the other person jumps back.

5. In-situ change step

① Action process

Stand on the right frame and exchange your feet back and forth, from the right frame to the left frame and vice versa.

② essentials of action

The center of gravity should not fluctuate too much. Try to move your center of gravity smoothly and keep your feet off the ground.

③ Practical use

When the opponent and himself are in a closed position, they often use in-situ step change. In order to form an open position with the other party, it is more conducive to hitting the other party's chest, or to prevent the other party's dominant leg from exerting its strength and making the other party feel uncomfortable. When the other party changes steps in place, you can use machine guns to attack points at this time.

Step 6 step aside

① Action process

The first step is to take the front foot as the axis, move the back foot to the left (right) side, and change the standing direction with the opponent. The second footwork is standing on the right frame. Move your right foot to the right (or left) first, and then move your left foot to the right (or left) quickly.

② essentials of action

Generally, the center of gravity of the body moves to the front foot to facilitate the attack of the back foot.

③ Practical use

When taking the initiative to attack, the opponent's reaction speed is fast, so he should move to one side and take a step sideways, so as to induce the opponent to adjust his body center of gravity too late to fight back. Or when the opponent attacks, he does not retreat, but approaches the opponent with sideways steps and attacks.

Step by step

① Action process

Stand on the right frame, step on the right foot to the inside of the left foot, and at the same time quickly lift the left foot for attack and defense.

② Practical essentials

The use of padding is mainly to attack the opponent with the front legs when actively attacking.

Basic footwork of taekwondo

Taekwondo is a martial art with legs as the main method. It is of great significance to use footwork flexibly in practice to ensure the full play of leg strength and victory in actual combat. The hind legs attack when using footwork, so Taekwondo footwork has distinct characteristics, that is, the center of gravity falls between the two feet or is biased towards the front legs, and the body posture is mostly standing sideways, and the body is protected by twisting the waist, so that the hind legs turn to the hips. Increase the strength and speed of hitting the ball.

The footwork of Taekwondo is of great significance in actual combat.

First of all, footwork is the key link of connecting technical movements. In the actual combat of Taekwondo, most of the offensive, defensive and defensive counter-attacks are completed in the movement, so flexible, fast, agile and changeable footwork connection technology is needed to ensure the completion and exertion of the later technical movements, otherwise it will be in a passive position.

Secondly, through flexible footwork movement, the opponent's attack or defense fails, and at the same time, it seizes the favorable attack or defense position to create conditions for counterattack.

Thirdly, flexible footwork can keep the balance of body posture, because only when the body is in a relatively balanced state can we attack the opponent more effectively and achieve the purpose of attack. The actual combat of Taekwondo is carried out in sports. Without correct and flexible footwork, it is difficult to win actual combat.

Fourth, using various footwork flexibly and tactfully can cause psychological pressure on the other side, make the other side at a loss and create conditions for defeating the other side.

The basic footwork commonly used in actual combat includes the following:

1, previous progress:

The standard combat posture begins, with your feet standing obliquely and your fists on your chest. When moving forward, step forward with the rear pedal and turn one side of the body to the other side, which can be carried out continuously. This is a step forward-the previous step. Pay attention to twisting your waist and hips. When moving forward, the hind foot touches the ground, the front foot slides forward and the rear foot touches the ground, and the front foot jumps forward and jumps forward. Forward sliding and forward jumping belong to forward movement, which is the footwork used in active attack. It can also be used for fake action, which is carried out in coordination with the arm iron action, so that it is convenient to approach each other quickly.

2. Backward:

Judging from the standard actual combat posture, the forefoot pushes hard on the ground, the hind legs take a step back one after another, and the forefoot immediately retreats, keeping the body in its original posture. If after the forefoot touches the ground, the hind foot slides backward one step along the ground, and the front foot slides backward one step at the same time, and the foot and body keep the original posture, it is called backward sliding. This kind of footwork can open the distance with the opponent, avoid the opponent's attack and prepare for the counterattack.

Step back:

Starting from the standard actual combat posture, with the forefoot of the hind foot as the axis, the front foot is raised, and then the rear foot is laterally retreated to form the actual combat posture opposite to the original. You can change the steps of retreating according to the actual needs, adjust the relative distance from the other side, and prepare for the attack or counterattack.

4, lateral step:

Starting from the standard combat posture, the forefoot of both feet pushes the ground to the left and right at the same time, leaving the original position. Move to the left and leave the original position. Moving left is called moving left, and moving right is called moving right. The function of sideways movement is to avoid the powerful attack of the other party and move to the side of the other party, ready to fight back.

5, jump steps:

Starting from the standard actual combat posture, the two-legged alliance makes the body empty, and the two feet exchange back and forth in the air, and the body posture becomes the preparation posture of the other side when turning to the ground. Don't jump and change steps. When changing steps, twist your waist and turn your hips, which is quick and agile. Its purpose is to interfere with your opponent's offensive and defensive thinking, choose a position suitable for your attack, and change your body's scoring position so that your opponent can't score. At the same time, strive for the space and time to counterattack and immediately turn to attack.

6, arc step:

Starting from the standard actual combat posture, the forefoot of the forefoot pushes the ground in place, and the hind foot pushes the ground to the left (right) and then moves one foot to the right (left) at the same time, which becomes a preparation posture different from the original preparation posture. The left stride is a left arc step (or left winding step), and the right stride is a right arc step (right winding step).

7. Step forward (backward):

Start with the standard combat posture. At the same time of "the back (front) foot is close to the front (back) foot", the front (back) foot takes a step forward (back) and still becomes the original actual combat posture. The key point of stepping action is that the hind foot (front) should move forward (back) quickly. Before the back (front) foot is settled, the front (back) foot should move forward (back), and the distance of the front (back) foot should be appropriate, which can not only take care of the position relationship with the other party, but also facilitate the connection action behind itself. Step-by-step actions should be quick, agile and coherent, and you should get close to or away from each other quickly. The next connecting action, whether offensive or defensive, should be continuous and fast. You can do it step by step without giving your opponent any chance.

8. Step forward:

Starting from the actual combat posture, the back foot takes a step forward, and the body posture becomes positive at the same time, and then the front foot takes a step forward, still becoming the actual combat posture. You can rush several times in a row to become an actual combat posture.

The key point of the forward lunge is that the legs should be coherent and the speed should be fast, which is similar to the accelerated sprint. Small stride, fast frequency and flexibility are effective footwork for actively chasing each other. Continuous movements should be quick and agile, causing confusion to the other side, or similar to backward movements.

9, combination steps:

It refers to different combinations of footwork. In fact, in actual combat, Taekwondo techniques are realized through the use and changes of various footwork, and the footwork used is a meaningful or unintentional combination and comprehensive application. The purpose of using footwork is to adjust the distance, make your movements faster and more flexible, and then achieve the purpose of advancing and retreating freely, controlling the rhythm and effectively attacking and defending. The combination of footwork should be changed according to the actual situation, and the techniques of attack and counterattack should be closely combined with footwork, and attack, defense and counterattack should be carried out while moving, so that the application of footwork can be integrated with boxing and leg technique and become an organic connection technology of attack, defense and counterattack.
