Yu Shim Kang Kwon

This phrase is often repeated when performing multiple moves in class for example when performing a series of 5 kicks. On the first kick students would shout Yu, on the second Shim, on the third Kang, on the fourth Kwon and on the fifth Han.

The sentence translates as “relaxed mind strong punch”. If we are tensed we will be using more energy than necessary. If we consider a punch with the arm tensed, the triceps may be working at 100% but if the bicep is tensed by say 40% then the this amount of energy is working against your punch. With practice we realize that the more relaxed we are the more effective and less tiring our techniques are.
