Yes.... in WTF taekwondo (Taegeuk) forms/patterns are referred to as "poomse" in ITF/TKD patterns/forms are referred to as hyungs. In 'Karate' it is "kata" ....

It's how you get real-life application from kata. You also do variations of the moves.

Thank you so much KickChick...I kept reading about "poomse" and I got very confused.

 

Good idea Shaolin Princess! Feel free to do so, everyone!

Uke does litereally translate as "to receive." Food for thought...what does this do for applications of "blocks" which is how the word uke has been romanized form teh Japanes term in Karate?

 

Also, as far as "hyung", "poomse," and "tul," what is the difference? Is there a specific difference in meaning implied in each word?

I have a definition/title/phrase that I wouldn't mind knowing the meaning of. I was reminded about this by kyle-san. What exactly does san mean. When I was younger my sensei used to use san after my name all the time, he doesn't do it anymore though, just curious what exactly it means or refers to?

 

Thanks alot

Mr, Mrs, or Ms. That's it. If I say "Leaf san" I'm saying Mr. Leaf. If I say kickchick san, then I'm saying Mrs. KickChick. The Japanese don't call eachother by their first names, they use their last names. So if my name is Joe Smoe, you wouldn't say Joe san, this would be very incorrect, you would say Smoe san, that is the correct way. Hope this helps
