ADVANCED COMBINATION DYNAMICS

The final volume of the Essential Course of Taekwondo addresses the 'Gao Ji Zu He' or Advanced Combination Techniques. This stage of training is where the practitioner integrates all previously learned footwork and leg methods into a singular, comprehensive system. Master Liu Weijun, a lecturer at the Beijing Sport University and an international referee, provides the technical guidance for this 'Flow' state. Historically, the mastery of combinations represents the transition from a 'Student' to a 'Warrior' in the Taekwondo tradition. This DVD archives the high-level technical routines that define the art’s Dynamic Striking reputation. Master Liu emphasizes that at this level, techniques must be used 'Yun Yong Zi Ru'—with absolute freedom and naturalness—requiring a profound synthesis of physical ability and technical understanding.

SYNERGY OF LOWER BODY WEAPONRY

The technical routine focused on 'Leg Techniques Combination' is the highlight of this volume. Master Liu demonstrates how to string together disparate kicks—such as a front transverse kick into a whirlwind kick—without touching the ground or losing momentum. Biomechanically, this requires an extraordinary coordination of the 'Kua' (hips) and the supporting leg's tendons. The practitioner is taught to utilize the recoil of the first strike to fuel the second, creating a 'Double Action' effect. This volume provides a deep dive into the 'Kinetic Linkage' required for these maneuvers, showing how the core muscles act as a stabilizer for the rapid-fire leg movements. The resulting strikes are not only faster but more powerful, as they carry the combined energy of the entire sequence.

TECHNICAL COMPREHENSIVENESS AND FLOW

Mastery of advanced combinations requires a state of 'Fluid Structure,' where the body adapts instantaneously to the changing tactical landscape. Master Liu Weijun illustrates how 'Footwork Combinations' are used to set up the environment for high-level kicking. By combining lateral leaps with diagonal steps, the practitioner can consistently find the most effective angle for an 'Axe Kick' or 'Spinning Heel Kick.' This instruction focuses on 'Technical Comprehensiveness' (Ji Shu Quan Mian), ensuring that the practitioner has no 'dead zones' in their offensive or defensive range. The DVD provides professional drills to improve the 'Transition Speed' between techniques, a critical factor in elite competition. The goal is to reach a level where the choice of technique is spontaneous and perfectly suited to the moment of impact.

ELITE COMPETITION STRATEGIES AND PHILOSOPHY

Beyond the physical mechanics, this volume explores the philosophical and tactical mindset of the advanced Taekwondo fighter. Master Liu Weijun shares his extensive experience as an international referee to explain how judges perceive technical combinations and the 'Martial Spirit' they convey. The training emphasizes clarity of intent (Yi) and the regulation of internal pressure (Qi) to maintain performance under the stress of high-level combat. This resource is a definitive academic guide to the highest levels of Taekwondo technical routine, preserving the heritage of the Beijing Sport University's Elite Training program. For the global martial arts community, this DVD offers a rare look at the 'Advanced Combinations' that bridge the gap between traditional practice and modern athletic excellence, ensuring that the practitioner's journey toward Technical Mastery is grounded in both scientific biomechanics and traditional wisdom.
