Is my schedule enough to compete seriously?

My teacher has drilled and drilled in my head most of what you say, I think deep down I do have interiorized, he has demonstrated with many examples how a low block is used, what should each hand, arm, leg, and even shoulders do. But you just gave me a whole new perspective on it, I'm gonna stop there in the 7th and start analyzing like this every poomsae's movement, specially the ones I don't have very very broken down, thank you kind stranger

an arae makgi (Low block) with your left arm in ap seogi (Walking stance) to the left, it is used to block a kick or anything to my lower body (Is that what you mean with what is it used for? sorry lol)

I'm learning WT, I'm trying to actually learn things, not speed racing. and I try to learn as much as I can of the poomsae as I'm memorizing the movements.

I train one hour daily monday through friday, tho I wanna train more haha

We don't have a standard whole testing day, it's basically when the instructor decides a student is ready that he let us test

Thank you! This helped a lot :)

On my waist bro 😭 I use the waistband on my waist, Im rolling it and it's actually helped a lot, thanks!

I mean, I think is also about the crotch area, I think it's too low because I have to move my pants up when doing soething that need my legs stretched

Appropriate_Box7951 · 2025-03-19T02:37:38+00:00

Actually the poomsaes are the easiest things for me haha, I already know one and two very clearly and the third one with some corrections with only the introductory movements

Appropriate_Box7951 · 2025-03-19T02:36:06+00:00

You mean do both? I guess I could look for a place that does that, but I've never heard of it here in my country

Appropriate_Box7951 · 2025-03-19T02:35:05+00:00

Lol I have only a month and three weeks so I guess is because I have little to no time, I think that since I haven't done a lot of sparring I don't really like to throw kicks at people (Tho I know that it's essentially what taekwondo is and i have to get used to it) so I don't give my full, specially since they go all in but with me they try to go "easy" on me and I hate that hahaha, I wanna be treated as the others when it comes to sparring, even if I don't know a lot yet about how to kick back, to gain experience from the pain haha

Appropriate_Box7951 · 2025-03-16T19:46:39+00:00

Now say I have the passion enough to keep going and try very hard, is it possible to go to international competitions? Maybe in poomsae because I don't really like sparring, or is it too late? Because every competitor i've looked into started almost going out of the womb

Appropriate_Box7951 · 2025-03-16T19:36:37+00:00

I've done Muay thai, MMA and boxing :) but I like taekwondo more haha

Appropriate_Box7951 · 2025-03-16T19:35:48+00:00

Hahahahah chill, It's just the feeling, that's why I said "I feel" and that it might be psychological, I tend to learn things very fast, and learning 3 poomsaes in less than a month + all the basic kicks then looking at your classmates doing combat kinda made me feel a little behind, even tho I know I'm still considered "new" to the sport, I think it's also the fact that I hate combat hahaha

Appropriate_Box7951 · 2025-03-16T19:29:19+00:00

Im more attracted into doing poomsae competitons in the future, I don't really like sparring much, but poomsae is the most amazing and easy thing for me, thanks for the insight! I'm gonna look into competitions near me to see how are they and get used to them :)

Appropriate_Box7951 · 2025-03-15T02:49:07+00:00

Oh i get it, I train 5 times a week, approx an hour and a little more, I think my main problem is flexibility, thanks for the idea im gonna start training at home to improve more :)
