Improve Your Skills and Knowledge with Taekwondo WTF Poomsae PDF 42: A Step-by-Step Guide



In Kukki-style Taekwondo, the word used for "forms" is poomsae. In 1967 the KTA established a new set of forms called the Palgwae poomsae, named after the eight trigrams of the I Ching. In 1971 however (after additional kwans had joined the KTA), the KTA and Kukkiwon adopted a new set of color-belt forms instead, called the Taegeuk poomsae. Black belt forms are called yudanja poomsae. While ITF-style forms refer to key elements of Korean history, Kukki-style forms refer instead to elements of sino-Korean philosophy such as the I Ching and the taegeuk.


In addition to sparring competition, World Taekwondo sanctions competition in poomsae or forms, although this is not an Olympic event. Single competitors perform a designated pattern of movements, and are assessed by judges for accuracy (accuracy of movements, balance, precision of details) and presentation (speed and power, rhythm, energy), both of which receive numerical scores, with deductions made for errors.[63] Pair and team competition is also recognized, where two or more competitors perform the same form at the same time. In addition to competition with the traditional forms, there is experimentation with freestyle forms that allow more creativity.[63]

The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) practices Songahm-type forms (poomsae). The lines of these forms are all organized around the Songahm Star. Being a franchised corporation, these forms are copyright ATA and so are rarely documented outside official ATA publications -- typically PDF documents that describe the form. Fortunately, these PDF files are fairly easy to find via an Internet search. The link below provides the PDF for this form. 2ff7e9595c
