just looking at this video, would you think this guy is a 9th degree anything? I looked at other videos, all of them are look fairly weak.

That is the correct form, what do you see as the problem here?

Fairly weak?

By what standard?

They're forms. How are you judging "strength & weakness"? By aesthetics?

Before I tell you what I think, why don't you post some actual content. Tell us why you are questioning him. Tell us your opinion of the video. Tell us what it is you're looking for.

Yeah, I've heard of this guy. So what's the problem?

Typically I would expect this form to have more power in the hand techniques. I think he looks young to be a 9th dan. I have never seen this guy so it could be a bad video.
Just asking for opinions here.

My forms aren't to my standard. I'm a sixth dan. It is what it is man.

"More power in the hand techniques"?~?

Who are you, Tim Taylor?

Questions:

1) What would be the point of having more power in the hand techniques?

2) How are you judging his power or lack there of in said hand techniques?

3) What difference would having more power or less power make in performance of this set? Would it effect the execution of the techniques in combat?

3) What does judging his performance of Naihanchi/Naebojin in this manner indicate as far as judging his understanding of Dangsudo?

2) What are those hand techniques doing any way?

D) If the universe is ever-expanding, and God is omnipresent, would you like a piece of toast?


I really need to put up video of my performance of Naebojin. I can just hear the legions screaming in shock and horror.

That's because you don't understand the importance of kata.

KMA forum plz.

I mean everyone does forms alittle bit differently

Extremely weak performance for a 1st degree and for a 9th horrible. I would flunk him in a heartbeat just for the lack of balance in the begining of the form. You teach as you do.
the old adage "those that can do, those that can't teach". He must be a teacher. and yes i can do much better and have for more than 50 years.
