SENIOR GREEN BELT Study Guide
Senior Green Belt Form: Yul-Guk
Meaning of Yul-Guk: Yul-Guk was the pseudonym (pen name) of the philosopher and scholar Yi-I (1536–1584 AD), who is known as the Confucius of Korea.
Number of Movements: 36
In Tournament Sparring, students receive one point for kicks and punches to the body, two points for kicks to the headgear and jump kicks to the body. Three points are awarded for jump kicks to the headgear. No contact is needed for points to be called. Students are encouraged to come close to target areas.
When executing a Hook Kick students strike with the heel, unlike the Crescent Kick where students strike with the blade of the foot.
The Crescent Kick is a straight leg kick, whereas the Hook Kick begins and ends with a bent knee.
