 Basic
information
General Choi Hong Hi creating Taekwon-Do techniques used his experience in
Shotokan Karate and Taek Kyon. Nevertheless throughout years techniques
evaluated following scientific principles and nature of human body creating
system different from most of known Martial Arts.
Implementing sine wave to the Taekwon-Do movements was a remarkable point in
the way of generation power. Two main theories describe the best and the easiest
ways to learn and to create correct Taekwon-Do techniques:
Training secrets
An old proverb says that even heaven cannot make a diligent worker poor.
However, in Taekwon-Do, diligence or intensive training alone does not produce
quality techniques.
On the contrary, instructions from a false or unqualified instructor would be
worse than not being taught at all because unscientific movements not only
reduce the power but require a tremendous amount of time to correct. On the
other hand, under the proper guidance of a competent instructor, a student who
trains earnestly with dedication will learn the true techniques of Taekwon-Do in
a comparatively short period of time with less effort.
Following training secrets will guarantee proper execution of techniques
and save lots of time of the learning process.

Theory of Power
The beginning student may ask; "Where does one obtain the power to create the
devastating results attributed to Taekwon-Do?" This power is attributed to the
utilization of a person's full potential through the mathematical application of
Taekwon-Do techniques. The average person uses only 10 to 20 percent of his
potential. Anyone, regardless of size, age, or sex who can condition himself to
use 100 percent of his potential can also perform the same destructive
techniques.
Though training will certainly result in a superb level of physical fitness, it
will not necessarily result in the acquisition of extraordinary stamina or
superhuman strength. More important, Taekwon-Do training will result in
obtaining a high level of reaction force, concentration, equilibrium, breath
control and speed; these are the factors that will result in a high degree of
physical power.
Having known the scientifical principles (theory of power) of techniques
students can better understand the mechanisms which influence generating power.
Regardless of the theoretical knowlendge Taekwon-Do must be practiced under
strict supervision of qualified instructor. Only good instructor is able to
teach techniques, correct mistakes and educate in the moral culture.
