| In my forms I do what they call double hipping. Please describe to me what this is and if at all possible please tell me the steps in correcting this nasty habit. Thank you. |

I have never heard of this term. Are you perhaps doing too much of an exaggerated movement of the hips when performing your hand techniques?

| I think they mean my hips hit the spot and then go slightly out again before completing the motion. In other words, my belt knot moves too much when it should be stationary due to a completed motion. |

| Another analogy might be that when I complete a motion I go to far and then when I correct it, I have to move slightly. Either way, I need to know how to stabalize my hips or at least control them. Do you think slowing my forms down might help and then after the correction is solid in my mind and form, pick up speed again? |

I haven't heard that term before either. I think you're idea of slowing down until you can fix your hip-movement problem is a good idea. I have seen students, wanting to imitate higher ranking students, use too much speed and degrade their form (for example: poor stances, incomplete movements, weak punches/blocks/kicks, leaving out movements).

I agree with KarateEd. I think I know what you're talking about. I think I was doing the same thing in the beginning. And yes. Slowing down your forms will help.

I've never heard the term either.
Maybe this is just a way to obvious, but I assume your sensei is tell you that you are doing this...right? Ask him/her what it is and how to correct it.

Based on your description, it sounds like a lack of muscular control in the abdominal region. Very common among lower ranking belts who have not yet learned proper control.
My suggestions:
1. Keep your stomach, more specifically your dan jeon area, very strong during choombi stance.
2. Same thing for horseback stance. Keep that area very strong while punching.
3. Practice crunches and lower back exercises to help build that area up. Pilates are very good as well.

I agree with KarateEd's suggestions as well. Slowing down and breaking your technique down will definitely help. Just make sure that you know what you are breaking down. Have your instructor or a high-rank student watch and help point out to you what area it is you need to correct. Remember, practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Always ask questions, too!

Thank you so much for all the good advice. I will slow down and make sure my hips are driving my motions. I've already practiced this a bit tonight and can feel the difference.  Thanks again. |
