Valor Taekwondo Lesson 3: Movement
/Today we go over how to train movement while in the confines of your home. Be sure to adjust depending on the amount of space you have available.
Movement training is tricky because most people require large amounts of space to move around. While this is true more so for safety reasons, training in a smaller space can help teach athletes to be more precise and efficient with their movements rather than large, slow movements.
Some key things to keep in mind is that while in motion, be sure to keep your body upright and not lean back or forward. Allow your legs to move you and keep your hands up. The most important part of this training is the mind. Picture an opponent in front of you and perform your movements in relation to your imaginary opponent. Do not move just for the sake of moving, but rather with intent and thought behind it. After all, the ultimate goal in sparring is to score.
Be sure to implement the previous lessons in your training since these lessons build off of each other. Good luck!
