Promotion from one geup to the next can proceed rapidly in some schools, since schools often allow geup promotions every two, three, or four months. Students of geup rank learn the most basic techniques first, and then move on to more advanced techniques as they approach first dan. Many of the older and more traditional schools often take longer to allow students to test for higher ranks than newer, more contemporary schools, as they may not have the required testing intervals.

Outward Back Fist

( 등주먹 바깥치기 deung-jumeok-bakkat-chigi )

 

Difficulty Level:  Intermediate

Outward Back Fist ( 등주먹 바깥치기 deung-jumeok-bakkat-chigi ) is an intermediate technique where a clenched hand is swung backwards into the face of an opponent. The fist of the hitting arm starts at the opposite shoulder for maximum velocity. The back knuckle ( 등주먹 deung-jumeok ) of the hand makes contact and the momentum garnered in the swing makes this a very powerful strike. Spinning backfists are dangerous knockout attacks, and are thus banned in most international taekwondo competitions.

Strikes should aim for a point 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) behind the target surface, to impart the most energy into the target. The striker in combat should attempt to strike through the target area, not just contact the surface.

* Please see a certified Master Instructor ( 사범님 sabeomnim ) for training. Proper guidance and instructions are needed to ensure safe training.
