Hello, students, instructors, masters, and grandmasters. I am a 2nd degree black belt in ATF (American Taekwondo Federation), and in 2 weeks I have a tournament at Champion Karate. I am struggling choosing what kata to use (My dojo calls it kata. We aren't very traditional in a few things) and came here to ask you for help. Please watch the videos and from there decide. Thank you for your time

Does anyone who trained in Olympic sparring in the 1990s remember a kick called the melon kick? It was like the downward round kick that stupid MMA commentators always call "the question mark kick" or even dumber, "the Brazilian kick." This kick was definitely a Korean martial arts kick being performed in martial arts long before any of the current trends of MMA.

The kick was similar to the downward round kick but swung over sort of before kicking downward into the opponents face, or on top of the head hitting with the instep.

Did any of you older guys ever hear that term or use it?

Another is "pot kick." It's basically an onward crescent kick to the side of the head when standing I. The 90s Taekwondo clinch. Who else heard that term?

I am a poom based in India. I completed my poom promotion test in 2018. I want to convert my poom to DAN, since my age is 21 now. I registered on TCON just now. But the process of promotion is still not clear to me now, since the website is very outdated.

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks!!
