Bretty101 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 ... do you have to do all 4 tuls for your 3rd? ... We have to do all 4 for our 3rd dan to. My favourite pattern by a long way is Moon-moo - slow kicks demonstrating strong legs the essence of TKD. The three patterns for 2nd dan are all great and a real contrast one to the next. All the ones after that i find pretty dull until moon-moo. Bretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John G Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I agree Bretty101, Moon-moo showing strength, flexibility, control, and balance, is by far the most aesthetically pleasing of all the 24/25 tuls when executed by correctly. Kodang was dropped from our syllabus many years ago and replaced with Juche', however I would like to know more about Kodang once I get my current 3 patterns down pat.

three60roundhouse Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 I have a question: what was the first form you learned as a black belt? Mine was Hwa Rang because my school doesn't focus on patterns at all so we kinda push everything back. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!

karatekid1975 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hey Laurie is TangSooDo Nahanchi is anything like I-Ryu and ShorinRyu then if you know half you know the whole thing cause it'll repeat in the opposite direction Yea, they are pretty much the same. Maybe slightly different, but not much. So, all I do is repeat the first half? That's easy enough More like shorin-ryu than isshin ryu, in that the first step goes to the right. After the double punch to the left, it pretty much repeats itself in mirror image Cool I just have remember after the double punch it does LOL Thanks Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatTzu Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 My favorite forms are the Ki-Chos the basic forms because of their simplicity. It is eay to see a persons level of understanding in the art by watching them do the most basic things. even a broken clock is right twice a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakmak52 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 My favorite form for competitions is Bassai Dai (Major), which I believe is originally a Shotokan kata, I enjoy the variety of blocks,kicks and strikes. Kwan Gae is my second favorite. Peace, Jack Best regards,Jack Makinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
