Re: Chang Hun Toi-Gye tul (Christopher Spiller)   From Bob Burns: 2nd Dan Oriental Martial Arts College, Columbus, OH, Indianapolis, IN, Crystal River, FL. My GM Young P. Choi and his older brother Joon P. Choi teach a "TKD" form derived from Kung Fu, called: AMHACH... during the form, make a low, forward lunge, block (left foot forward), double crossed-wrist low block above the left knee, then step right foot out to right into "riding horse stance", raise double fists on hips with elbows suddenly extended 180 degrees from hips, then rapidly swing each elbow (right then left) towards the front to block foot attack, .....I don't know if that is the same movement as "Toi-Gye", but it is an elegent and effective movement if done smoothly and with precision. Yours in the MA, Bob Burns, 2nd Dan   > The reason I'm asking about Toi-Gye is that we see many > schools perform > movement 12 as placing fists on hips (Peter Pan).  The Tae > Kwon Do Legacy > text states double elbow strike and the video shows the > Fists on hips.  -a > contradiction.  I wanted to pole the list for what most > instructors teach. > > Gordon Okerstrom Mr. Okerstrom, According the Gen. Choi's Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, movement 12 of Toi-Gye is a twin side elbow thrust. This technique is done by bringing both firsts to the hip. No contradiction there.
