Fundamental Exercises (A): 149 exercises: 18. L-Stance Back-Hand Outward Block (Niunja So Sondung Bakuro Makgi) —c. Spot-Turning

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.

Direction Diagram (Bang Hyang Pyo)

All fundamental exercises are done on the four directions as shown below:

The student is standing on the line AB and facing D.

Fundamental Exercise: L-Stance Back-Hand Outward Block (Niunja So Sondung Bakuro Makgi) Spot-Turning

Method of exercise (Yonsup Bop)

—At the command of “L-Stance Back-Hand Outward Block (Niunja So Sondung Bakuro Makgi) Spot-Turning”.
—Take a ready posture (junbi jase) of a left L-stance to D.

—At the command of “commence” (sijak).
—Pivoting on the left foot, turn counter-clockwise, and form a right L-stance to C, while the left back-hand performs a block to C.

Notes:
* At the start of blocking keep the forearms crossed in front of the chest, with both back fists facing upward, and keeping the blocking forearm under the other.
* At the moment of block keep the back forearm full facing the opponent.

—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).
