The original point of this Study Tools website was the techniques section.
Use this for practicing different sets of techniques.
You can randomize the sets your choose to practice, randomize the numbers inside the sets, remove a set during practice if you have practice enough from a certain set in your session, reset to return to the set selection section, restart with your current selections upon completing your chosen sets, and get up to four different hints:
- Starting Position
- Key word reminders
- Complete walkthrough of the technique
- Link to a video about the technique
- Workout Generator
- Creates a standard class length (1 hour and 15 minutes) workout based off your age and belt rank. Pulls everything required for your next test, and starts with stretching, ki cho jah ki, basics, and then moves into forms and techniques. Finishes with Kuk Sool Won pledge. If your browser enables speech, it will talk to you.
