DEMONSTRATION

/Sibum/

            The purpose of the demonstration is to introduce the dynamic power, skill and graceful movements possessed by the demonstrators. It also assures spectators that anyone, regardless of age or sex, can learn and develop such techniques.

            Emphasis should be placed on the following points during the demonstration:

1. The meaning and purpose of each technique should be explained in detail.

2. Some particular self-defense techniques and model sparring should be repeated in slow motion for the spectator to understand both the method and purpose of the movements.

3. Since a Taekwon-Do expert should use this technique reflexly in combat, every technique should be performed in front of the spectators immediately without the benefit of rehearsal.

4. Breaking materials such as boards, bricks or roof tiles should be hard enough that an ordinary person would find it almost impossible to duplicate the student’s technique. Breaking with the forehead is absolutely prohibited in Taekwon-Do.
