Forms

Do San x5

Songham 4 x5

Do San is the 4th form in our TTA curriculum. It moves in about the same I pattern as Bo Chuung and Dan Gun, with a steps out to the 45 degrees on the top part of the I, before coming back into line and and going back to the bottom of the I. I like this form, because it has some tight movements and turns, and I get a lot of power into it.

Songham 4 is the dreaded camo belt for of the ATA, the 4th colored belt form. Its pattern is of a rectangle laying long ways, starting in the middle of the top part, going to the left, then back to the bottom, along the back line, up to the top line, then back to the middle and starting position. This form adds the "sparring stance," along with the reverse side kick, done in combination with a back leg round kick.
