Staff Forms - Warm-up 

The purpose of this Warm-up form is as a review of fundamentals of Korean Staff basics and a preparation for more sophisticated work. As with any Training or Conditioning  form, individual parts can be increased in number, or eliminated altogether, depending on the constraints of the training, or the immediate training goals. Generally, the methods found in the first half of the form are "short stick" techniques, meaning that both hands remain in a balance position in the middle of the staff. Techniques in the second half of the form tend to be "long stick" techniques meaning that these methods are executed with the hands gripping the staff  farther to one end or the other. 

The methods found in this form must not be construed as an exhaustive catalogue of all Korean staff methods.
