| Pattern Performance Tips |
Speed Changes
During the course of performing a pattern, the tempo should remain steady, but there may be one of more required changes in speed of the individual motions. There are two types of motion speed in patterns:
Slow. motion is performed very slowly with a slow exhale with tensed muscles as if you were trying to use full speed and power but some invisible force is resisting your movement.
Normal. motion is performed normally with full speed and power with sharp exhale.
There are also required changes in the speed in which certain combinations are performed. There are three combination speeds:
Fast. each technique performed in rapid succession at normal speed with sharp exhale on each technique. Fast techniques are normally attacks and usually punches and kicks. Examples:
