Hello all,
Those pics are hilarious. The first two pictures in each set of pics of the cane techniques are identical, and for my money, who would start a technique 6 feet apart? This is not just for a photo, just bad technique.
Kuk Sool Won technique photos never show the most relevant issue, like transition - look at the second cane technique - how did the cane get from photo two to three - gravity and magic perhaps?
The cane techniques are sloppy, with poor transitions, and the distance issue is ridiculous, but they fall pretty and look like they enjoy shouting...
Now, the rope stuff. Again, look at how far back they begin their techniques...everybody has to be at full extension just to touch each other. The transition motions would have to be huge to get the defender into the positions he ends up in...
The second rope technique would not work.
The third would work if the attacker stood still long enough for you to wrap the rope around his first hand then gave you his other hand cause he liked you or something...right.
I have been taught similar techniques and teach similar techniques, but the similarity kind of ends in that I use a cane and a rope...
$5000 will buy you a cover and pictures of any technique you want in TKDT...Hey, a deal for twelve pages of pictures of guys screaming a lot - but my favorites are the fan peek-a-boo photos with the pretty pink feather fans - the one on page 32 where the opponent is forced to smell the fan tips looks deadly.
