Penetration in your form

How do you show penetration in your form? Slow down. Most students are too concerned with speeding through the form and the memorization piece. Slow down and execute the moves with power as if there was a board or an opponent in front of you and you are striking through the target. This should automatically help you achieve better penetration. Every single move should have the same level of penetration. If your uniform pops, you achieved the penetration. If not, keep practicing until you get it.
