niel0092 Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Thanks, I plan on sticking around for a while and am looking forward to learning more forms. There's really nothing like watching (or participating in) forms when they're in perfect sync. "Jita Kyoei" Mutual Benefit and Welfare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdwolf Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 I came up through the color belt ranks learning the Taeguek forms and I am now learning Palgwe. I enjoy the Palgwe forms better, they are more "art-like" than the Taeguek forms. I practice the WTF black belt forms Koryo, GuemGan, and Taebeck also. For Hapkido I know the four forms (WHF) that were required for first dan. The Hapkido forms are much more difficult to learn that the TKD color belt forms. tkdwolfWTF 2nd DanUSKMAF 1st Dan (Hapkido) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KickChick Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Our school teaches the older hyungs/ITF forms also- Chon-gi...to Tong-Il. The 24 patterns represent 24 hours, one day, or eternity. The name of the pattern, the number of movements, and the diagrammatic symbol of each pattern symbolizes either heroic figures in Korean history or instances relating to historical events. We did Palgwe forms for some time (because of TKD entering the Olympics) but no one from our school was seriously considering that route so we abolished them. (i didn't very much care for them).

sdallas00 Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Hello all! The poomse we study are Taegeuk, I am currently a blue belt and I am working on Taegeuk Sa Jang which to this point is my favorite. I like the complexity of the form with the various stances, blocks and strikes. Steve DallasHave a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamrushman Posted August 17, 2001 Author Share Posted August 17, 2001 yes...taegeuk sajang (the 4th in the series of taegeuk poomses) is the begining of the complex forms of taekwondo... i like the introduction of the spearhand thrust used in this form. good luck in your studies. _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon florida This Message was edited by: iamrushman on Aug 17, 2001 11:11am rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
