Points to Remember When Performing a Pattern
- Patterns should begin and end on the same spot (there are some exceptions
to this rule).
- Snap your head in the direction you are moving first.
- Correct posture, stance and facing must be maintained at all times.
- Muscles of the body should be tensed or relaxed at the critical moments.
- The pattern should be performed in a rhythmic motion, not stiff or jerky
movements.
- Movements should be accelerated or decelerated where appropriate.
- Perfect each pattern before moving onto the next.
- Know the purpose of each movement.
- Perform each movement with full power.
- You should be tired after every pattern.
- Hold your last move until told to return.
