What TKD patterns do you study?

[Balrog]

Sir,

For reference you may also wish to visit Karateforums.com and Budoseek.net
They are general martial arts forums such as this site, but each offers either a TKD or Korean Arts specific forum!

TAEKWON!

I haven't visited Budoseek, but don't waste your time with KarateForums. The guy that runs it isn't even a martial artist, but if you correct him on a mistake he's made, he'll ban you rather than fix the mistake.

I practice the Songahm style. The colored belt forms, White through Green are Songahm 1-5. The Purple and Blue forms are Inwha 1 & 2. The Brown and Red forms are Choong Jung 1 and 2. Each of the Black Belt forms is named:

1st Degree: Shimjun
2nd Degree: JungYul
3rd Degree: ChungSan
4th Degree: SokBong
5th Degree: ChungHae
6th Degree: JahngSoo
7th Degree: BeeHo

These are all the names I know so far.

I have studied Pal gwae forms , ki cho, and choo mo forms. I'm just starting to learn Tae geuk forms. I believe the black belt forms are the same in each school like koryo, kum kang, and so on. At a certain level you start to create your own forms. I think each martial artist should create they're own forms, name and document them. I also practice weapons forms with nunchaku and pion panta bong, which is a korean dicipline of a sharp edged piece of wood on a rope with a whip like end.

Chang Hon ~ USTF under Master McNeely. We trained under GM Kong of ICTF on the patterns recently and I gained alot of insight from him.

I've noticed an inclusion of Jee Goo (by the late GM Park of GTF ) at 1R. But I'm not familiar with this form as of yet. I'd like to find more info on it.

Thanks for letting me know. I knew I left out some of them because those are the ones I dont know yet so I didnt list them.

Also I go to budoseek a lot sometimes but havnt for along time because I got really bored of it. And in the TKD section not many people post.


I think masters of a martial art should master the art as well as the fighting and not have horrible technique because you cant be as good of a fighter as someone who has mastered perfect technique. What I am saying is MASTER YOUR FORMS AND HAVE PERFECT EXECUTION OF TECHNIQUE ON EACH MOVE before you call yourself a master.

What did I miss?

Sirmattu,

The statement regarding the overlook in patterns was a reference to a comment made by Mr. Andrew WA...you have missed nothing my friend (other than the header that read "Dear Andrew"!

Sorry for the temporary breakdown in communication!

Good Day,

Dear Sir,

You may also wish to visit www.itf-information.com It is an "ITF" site however, it offers practitioners of all TKD styles and affiliations a nice place to speak on issues and techniques related to TKD. The site is very mature compared to several I have seen in the past (but just like any, it has it's days)!

TAEKWON!

your the man

[Andrew WA]

Yes I think I was talking about the pal gea forms on an accident. I know all of those forms and I was unsure about a couple of moves on exactly how to do them because it was such a long time ago that I was doing the forms and that Renee whoever so called master totally does not help anyone in the entire world with forms. She only screws them up even more. She does them totally wrong and has the suckiest technique ive ever seen. Almost as bad as the female master where im from. Im just being brutally honest. Its pathetic that these people call themselves masters but they cant even do their forms good.

I am learning the ITF forms from some schools here where I am from. I know chun ji, dan gun, ton sol and won hyo. Also hwa rang and kwan gea.

i love this, a thread that doesn't trash tkd? who rah!

Im trying to learn the ITF forms but I cant with Mac's site because I dont trust that girl to do them right.

The ITF forms on Master Mac's site are performed by Travis Young, not by a girl.

Edit: I went to explore Master Mac's site a bit more. You must be talking about the WTF "supplemental" Palgwe forms performed by Master Renee West. Those aren't the ITF forms.

If you are trying to learn the ITF forms, I prefer the site Osopardo cited (natkd) rather than Master Mac's site. The natkd videos don't use the excessively exaggerated up/down motion with each step as is done by Mr. Young on Master Mac's site.

[Andrew WA]

I dont mean to be a jerk but Master Mac's site may have a lot of forms on video which is really cool but that girl who does them is TERRIBLE!!! Its embarrassing to watch and she ads in all of these moves that arnt even in the form in reality and does other moves totally wrong. Its stupid.

Does anyone know of a site with an expert who has supurb technique as well as demonstrating the forms FROM THE BOOK?

Thats how I like forms, totally textbook perfect with no add ins. Im trying to learn the ITF forms but I cant with Mac's site because I dont trust that girl to do them right.
