accually sign wave gives you more power as stated in the theory of power---that power =speed times mass <--- and sign wave helps to put youre mass into youre movments therfore giving you more power:)

What? who wont let you?

It's seems to be a fairly common misconception that Hip Twist and Sine Wave are mutually exclusive, which is just nonsense. Hip twist and Sine Wave contribute in different ways to the overall speed of the striking tool at point of impact. Speed, Mass, Reaction Force, Equilibrium (Balance), Concentration (minimising the amount of the striking tool in contact with the target) and Breath Control all have an affect on the amount of energy transfered to the target at point of impact.

i'm trying to learn this pattern but i dunno what is he doing when his back is turnedreally gives me the shits.

Actually this might just be my own personal opinion.WHy do most people think it's either sine wave or hip twist.Using sine wave does not stop one from using hip twist as well.You can incorporate hip twist in the middle of the sine wave for most moves.Imho, I think sine wave helps you gain rhythm and momentum.

actually every moves in Taekwon-Do is using the parts from the body including the hip...the sine-wave is too use the law of gravity. J

personally i dont see the point in sine wave.. do you not think that the hip twist is a better way of getting power into your move rather than bouncing? when you do the sine wave your loosing power.i do have a fair comment though

Sine wave helps create power, and promotes good technique. It may not be practical real world use but that's not the point. You relax going into each technique and force down into it at the end, tensing the muscles with a brief exhalation of air. I hope you don't practise the version of Taekwon-do that I see popping up everywhere on YouTube - the kind with no finesse, utterly mangled technique, and virtually no control.

i hate this form of tae kwon do. bit bouncy and pants. u want it explosive and moves that are actually going to work. hes gd don't get me wrong. he makes pointless use of his exhaling becuase his moves aren't powerful enough. fair comment i think.
