scottnshelly Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Please list the Black Belt forms/katas of each major style below. I’m not too interested in all of the Black Belt forms of each style, but just one or two of each. For instance, the Black Belt form of Moo Duk Kwan Tae Kwon Do is Koryo.
1kickKO Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 There are quite a few for my style: Kanku dai, bassai dai, empi, etc..
ovine king Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 see, i was under the impression that the black belt forms are ALL of them in your style but done to perfection. earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.
scottnshelly Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 see, i was under the impression that the black belt forms are ALL of them in your style but done to perfection. You are right to a certian degree. I was asking what form is taught for the Black Belt test, or at 1st Dan level. In Moo Duk Kwan Tae Kwon Do, for instance, we learn a series of pal-gyes and tae-guks and then to pass the Black Belt test you must be able to perform Koryo. It was my understanding that most - or all - other styles also do this. I was hoping to compile a list of all of these 'Black Belt' katas for research.
tkdBill Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 In our taekwondo organization, we must do Gwang-Gae, Po-Eun, and Ge-Baek at first degree BB. --
Hudson Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 see, i was under the impression that the black belt forms are ALL of them in your style but done to perfection. Those are those forms done at Black Belt Level - There are some schools/organizations/teachers who will reserve certain forms to the senior ranks, advanced techniques and attack philosophy that would take a strong base (AKA White to Black Belt's worth training) to apply effectively. The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move.
krzychicano Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 wow very informative post I had no idea they had so many katas. I take korean MA's and im not a black belt yet but I am very curious because of this thread to find out how many forms we have when reaching BB.

Freddy Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 All i know is that my sensei will be doing Gankaku on her next test =) but i think that Empi could be a black belt kata too. Extraordinary abilities can only come from extraordinary effort
