Sho-ju Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 A friend of mine and I were talking the other day about the patterns vs. kata of shotokan and found that many of the TKD patterns were very close. Does anyone know of a video link I could look at that has the patters of ITF TKD so I can take a closer look?
tufrthanu Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 ITF TKD hyung are different right off the bat in that they bounce. http://tkdtutor.com/10Patterns/PatternLists.htm That site supposedly has vids of ITF patterns though. If not there you can look up the individual patterns and find mpegs for them. I always though Tang Soo Do had the closest form set to Karate however in that they do Pyong Ahn and various other karate forms Long Live the Fighters!

tufrthanu Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Gen Choi made what are called the Chang Hon form set AKA ITF hyungs. Chang Hon was his pen name. The original patterns did not include the sine wave or what people consider bouncing. That was implemented in like 1983. Long Live the Fighters!

tufrthanu Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Well we dont do the Sine Wave in my style. So alot of this is just from what I have heard, but, basically the Sine Wave is designed to give you more power. The way its performed is to move High Low High Low and so on. So if your form went High Block Low Block HIgh Block Low Block youd stand up get low stand up get low and so on. It basically looks like this /\/\/\/\/\/\. It should be said thats the motion your body makes not your techniques. The traditional way was to keep your head at exactly the same level while moving forward. When doing the Sine Wave quickly in a pattern it turns into the bounce you hear peole refer to. Long Live the Fighters!
The Saint Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 We use the sign wave to add a little more power to the movement. It seems to add a bit more of a snap in kicks, punches and blocks "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class." Choi, Hong Hi ITF Founder
