- Mirror (Front & Side View) – a great tool and friend to help improve your movements.

- Front View: you can see if your shoulder is square.
- Front View: you can see if your stances are wide enough and where you knees are point at.
- Front View: you can see where your finger or palm is aiming at. Center of you or line up to the shoulder.
- Front View: develop a looking forward than a looking down habit.
- Side View: looking at your posture, stances and arm position facing parallel to the mirror.
- Side View: how is your front stance look like such as: knee at a 90 degrees angle on a front stance on “Joon-bi”?
- Side View: with facing your left side towards the mirror, how is your walking front stance look like when you execute “Kal-yeo” and “Kye-sok”? Your front knee should be straight, weight forward on the front knee and your upper body upright.
- Side View: with facing your left side towards the mirror, you can see if your left hand is in a slightly clenched position.

- Side View: you need to look to your left at the mirror throughout the whole time you execute any movement.
- Side View: do not look forward executing “Kal-yeo” and then look to your left and check your stance for example! You need to see your body in motion from the beginning to the end!

- Angle of your arm when you execute “Chung” or “Hong” - a slightly more than a 90 degrees angle.
- “Shi-jak” – your stance should be low enough that you are feeling a burning sensation on your right thigh.
- “Gam-jeom” – you should feel that your right arm is going straight up BEHIND your ear so that your arm don’t look pointing in an angle forward.
- Counting – always start every count from the exterior side of your shoulder bone.
