Don’t forget: always bring your non-punching hand back to chambered position, palm-up beside your belt,
in
preparation
for
the
next
technique.
What he means to say is bring your non-punching hand back to protect your head, whilst using the other hand…
Also, make sure you walk in front-stance when you punch towards your opponent. This will give your lunge-punch that front-stance superpower. None will be able to withstand it, and it’s mechanically perfect, so you don’t even need to practise it against anyone. Forms will suffice.
Stability and rootedness come from keeping your feet shoulder-width apart, like you’re walking on narrow-gauge rails. You’ll be so stable, nobody will ever be able to throw you or take you down, even if they outweigh you by a hundred pounds or more.
Shoulder-width front-stance, with most of your weight on your front leg, will ensure that your front knee is totally expos—er, solidly in place and impervious to leg attacks. Really.
Finally, the width of your lunge-punching front-stance keeps your family jewels ever-ready as extra striking weapons to be thrown into the fray.
LMAO, you bastard.
Another thing is conditioning. Most TKD students I have seen were either thin and weak or completely out of shape. If you get into a fight there are no breaks, no time-outs.
