Basic Techniques
How to Make a Proper Fist
Begin with your four fingers
pressed tightly together
Roll your fingers into
your palm
Put your thumb on top
of your first two fingers
Basic Techniques
Master Chong’s World Class Tae Kwon Do
Attention Stance
• Bring your feet together
• Keep your back straight
• Look forward
• Keep your hands at your side
• When your instructor says
“Attention!” or “Cha-Ryot!” this

These techniques and
stances are important
to learn and practice
because they are used
in every Little Tiger

How to Bow
• Start in your Attention Stance

“Kyong Ye” this is what you do!
• We bow as a sign of respect towards our
instructors and classmates

Kicking Stance
Kihap (pronounced “kee hap”)
• Make sure your
knees are slightly
bent
• Kihap is our energy
yell
• The energy yell is a
very important part
of our Tae Kwon Do
training
• Keep your hands up
• Always keep your
eyes focused on your
instructor or your
partner
• It is a big burst of
energy that you
should add to every
kick and punch!
Basic Techniques
Master Chong’s World Class Tae Kwon Do
Ready Stance
• Start in Attention Stance
• Bring your fists under your chin
• Step out with your left foot to make your feet
shoulder width apart
• Push down with your fists, finishing with them
in front of your belt
• This is your Ready Stance!
Horse Riding Stance
• Start in Ready Stance
• Stretch both arms out in front
• With your left foot, take a big step out to the
side
• Pull your fists back to your belt so that you finish with your palms up
