Favorite Forms

[aefibird]

Does anyone have a list or links to a site that lists the various names for certain forms that are used in Korean and Japanese MA?

eg (please correct me if I'm wrong!!) I think that Pyung Ahn Ee Dan is the same(similar!) to Heian Nidan/Pinan Shodan.

If anyone has a list with the various names for forms then it would be very helpful.

Thanks!

That is correct. I think Funakoshi switched Okinawan Idos's order of the forms because he thought that Pinan 2 (what is now Pyung Ahn 1/Heian 1) shoudl come before Pinan 1.

Don't have a list for the Japanese forms but here is the site to ISU's Tae Kwon Do page. It lists most the forms in the Korean terminology.

Heidi, you got the Taegeuk Ee Jang syndrome LOL! Not many people like it too much (at least in our school anyways).

Does anyone know of an on line explanation of the various moves within the patterns. I've been training for years and still do not know the use of the slow palm pressing blocks in Toi Gye

Does anyone have information that will lead me to the "infamous" Korean Kicking Kata....i call infamous because I have been searching for it for years....with very little success, only a few people that have seen it once or twice....and my instructors are back in the states.....so I can't reach them being over here in Japan....and many styles have never heard of the form....

I always thought those 2 palm pressing blocks were in Joon Gun.... not Toi Gye.

if we are talking about hte same ones, apparently they're meant ot be used to demonstrate control over the movement, and develop the correct hand transitions from starting position to final position and all places in between.

Oh one other thing regarding the kicking pattern:

Are you talking about one from MooDukwon?

otherwise, in ITF patterns there is MoonMu.... thats got quite a few kicks '[high section slow motion, etc.].

sounds right? [if it is ill post or pm you the directions and pictures for it].
