Fundamental Exercises (A): 149 exercises: 14. Sitting Stance Side Rising Kick (Annun So Yopcha Olligi) —2. Single Stepping Side Rising Kick ——b. Toward A
Fundamental exercises, also known as fundamental movements, are kicks, punches, blocks, stances, and several other movements used for attacking or defending. They are the basic attacking and defending techniques on which the art of Taekwon-Do is built. To attain perfection, each fundamental exercise has to be constantly repeated along with maintaining the correct stance at all times.
“Fundamental exercises are considered the back bone of Taekwon-Do, for the students can learn a great number of additional movements which are found neither in patterns nor sparrings. […] The student is therefore advised to exercise each fundamental movement correctly and thoroughly one by one before attempting to practise his pattern or sparring.”- Gen. Choi Hong Hi (Vol.6, p.17)
Mastery of fundamental exercises leads to mastery in patterns, sparring and self-defense.

Fundamental Exercise: Sitting Stance Side Rising Kick (Annun So Yopcha Olligi) Single Stepping Side Rising Kick Toward A
Method of exercise (Yonsup Bop)
The method of this exercise is similar to double stepping side rising kick except that instead of the opposite foot crossing over, the opposite foot is brought to the raising foot.
—At the command of “Sitting Stance Side Rising Kick (Annun So Yopcha Olligi) Single Stepping Side Rising Kick Toward A”.
—Take a ready posture (junbi jase) of a sitting ready stance.
—At the command of “commence” (sijak).
—i. Bring the left foot to the right foot, raise the right foot in a side rising kick to A, then lower the right foot to A and form a sitting ready stance to D.
—ii. Repeat i.
Notes:
* At the start of raising the foot, the foot is raised as if grazing the floor with the footsword, while keeping the body half-facing the target, so that the raised footsword points diagonally to the target.
* Raise the foot as high as possible, so that the leg muscles develop fully.
* While lowering the foot, keep the forearms crossed in front of the chest, and then separate them to form a sitting ready stance.
—At the command of “stop” (guman).
—Stop the exercise.
Taekwon-Do is a practical art; hence it can be learnt only from an instructor. Words, diagrams and videos can help only as a reference, and they cannot replace an instructor. Expert practical guidance from an instructor is invaluable.
“Certainly the most important asset any training hall can have is a good instructor. There is no substitute for a well-trained, intelligent, perceptive and patient instructor.” – Gen. Choi Hong Hi (Vol.6, p.17).
