METHOD OF EXERCISE (Yonsup Bop)

A brief explanation from the editor:

This section of Volume 6 contains 149 different exercises each containing a technique or a series of techniques to practice. Rather than include them all in a block of text and for ease of readability I intend to create each exercise as a separate page and link to them all here. This is subject to change, particularly if I find a better way of doing it.

Technique 1 below as a placeholder.

After repeating i and ii at the command of “Stop” (Guman); bring the left foot back to a ready posture or attention stance. At the start of the punch, keep both heels slightly off the ground and then execute a punch. Be sure to perform these two actions in one smooth motion. The same principle is applicable to a close stance punch.
