Help with finding Katas

[Heather Smyth]

I am looking for something NEW. I know a whole bunch of katas, but I am bored. Does anyone know where I can find some. I do not neccessarily need a video, just a list of movements with stances would work. If I have to resort to buying videos that is fine to. I have searched the internet EVERYWHERE. HELP please.

Thanks

It might help a bit to list what kata you DO know. Otherwise you'll get a whole lot of suggestions that you have to reply "I know that one" to.

The Shamelessly Unofficial Taekwondo Hyungs page has a lot to offer. Try it out. Type that in; it should be easy to find.

i understand what you mean by being bored, go back to the root, pickup one or two katas from okinawan karate and focus on finding all the sources about them, i give you two names , these are very good katas out of TKD lineage,

1- Anan look for the original version of Ryuei-ryu school of karate

http://www.wonder-okinawa.jp/023/eng/010/index.html

2- Sanseiru from Uechi ryu school of karate

(last performer , down the page. not the blue jumping jack), http://www.uechi-ryu.com/videos/u_kata.html

these two give you a taste of open hands/ hands up karate. i am not trying to pull you into another style , just look at them as art of karate masterpieces.

my 2cents.

try the UTI(Unified Tae Kwon Do International), https://www.unifiedtkd.com, forms. They were created by Grandmaster Scoot L. Kopperud, and range from 24 movements to 113(alpha and omega have yet to be created). The good part about his forms are the movements are never used twice, so a right arm down block would be used once and left side once too, and they are fun to watch. try them, the posters are $20 each, discounts are applied if you order more than one.

oops i meant Scott L. Kopperud

I aslo like to know what forms you know. Are you ITF TKD or WTF TKD? Try Tang Soo Do forms, or the earlier versions of them (Shotokan versions and Shorin Ryu and earlier) and the bunkai. You won't be bored

Not sure if Katas come under Korean martial arts, but you can find 330 videos on katas on this link:
