Forms and specialties for Korean martial arts

Garland · 01-02-2005, 08:19 PM

I wanted to get some links to TKD forms (hyungs?) Hwarang-do and Tang soo do forms, specialty kicks not found anywhere else, and conditioning drills.
The more stuff and the more links I can get, the better.
I'm compiling a study guide.
Gracias.

Are some Korean forms called palgyes? In my tae kwon do dojang thats what they are called....

Sir,

Common patterns of the various TKD's are as follows:

WTF...Tae-Guek & Pal-Gwe
ITF...Chang Hon (Chon Ji)
ATA...Sangham

Other pattern sets are the Pyong Ahn Hyungs as well as the patterns created by Jhoon Rhee and Park Jung Tae respectively!

TAEKWON!

They are the older WTF forms. At some schools they have been replaced by the Taeguks. At the dojang I attend, the Taeguks are taught to 8th - 1st kup. The palgues are introduced at the higher kup ranks.

Hey Garland, in non TKD styles they are called Hyungs.

For example, Kibon Hyung sometimes called Kicho Hyung means elementary form and is the first form in Hwarang-do and other Royal Court or Buddhist KMAs. The difference is that Kibon is a more formal term, whereas Kicho is more slang.

Forms in the Royal Court KMAs use more circular kicks compared to TKD/TSD use of linear kicks. Heavier use of the inside/outside crescent kick - identical to Chinese MA forms, where they kick slap the crescent kick. Spin kicks are used too. TKD/TSD straight kicks are snapped; in the other styles they are thrust.

You should also do a comparison of hand techniques as well, since hand techniques diverge further. TKD/TSD forms hand techniques are similar to Shotokan and stay hard style. In the other styles, they become more circular, rapid and soft style.

Hope this helps.

my instructor wasnt part of the wtf though

Sirmattu,

The word hyung is still used by many, however the WTF currently calls patterns Poomse and the ITF now calls them Tuls...anyhow...

Please view the Palgwe, TaeGeuk, Chang Hon (Chon Ji), Pyong Ahn, and some traditional Japanese/Okinawan kata at www.mchenry.homeip.net

Some depictions are better than others, it is easy to figure out which ones I mean!

TAEKWON!

Ki Bon Hyung is not the first one taught in Hwarangdo. It's not taught at all. This one is from KSW.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't study HWD. What do they call their elementary forms?

tomek · 01-13-2005, 05:14 PM

Forms (hyung) for colour belts are named from hwarang do O Kae: in, oui, yeh, ji, sin, sun, duk, chung, yong.
In 70's and 80's those were the only empty hands forms in the system.

Tom Yum · 01-13-2005, 05:43 PM

Cool.

Do you have any downloads for the HWD forms?
