SOUTH BANK TAEKWONDO: INFORMATION
INFORMATION: Forms - Colour Belt Forms - Black Belt Forms
Forms or poomse in the Korean language are a pattern of defending and attacking movements against imaginary opponents from all directions. Poomse show the essence of taekwondo spirit and the technical system of the art. All grades learn and practice poomse. Through the practice of poomse, students come to learn the applications of the various techniques of taekwondo. They serve a multidimensional role, aiding in development and refinement of balance, breath control, coordination, rhythm and timing. All are essential to the performance of taekwondo and so the formal exercises are the foundation of the art.
They are a unique and scientific form of technical sequences, which preserves the centuries-old traditionalism of Korea. Thus it is said, “without forms there is no taekwondo”. They start with basic movements and progress in difficulty. The student learns patience through repetition, providing the opportunity to review and perfect their techniques.

In ancient times, poomse was the only method of initiating the secret of the martial art from Master to student. There are three types of formal exercises fundamental to the study of taekwondo; basic or base forms, law or command forms and taeguk (bigness, eternity) forms. Each set of forms was conceived with a particular philosophical viewpoint: a reference to the ancient Oriental concept of yin and yang - two opposing forces interacting, forever changing yet always constant. They contain the essence of everything. Thus, taeguk has no form, no beginning and no ending either. Nevertheless, everything comes from taeguk. When performing poomse, the student should bear in mind that we are all born as we shall die, naked, bringing nothing into this world and taking nothing out of it.
Taeguk poomse are patterns of modern fighting sequences stemming from eight major branches of philosophical theories, each of which is represented by respective characters known as trigrams. There are eight basic poomse for Kup grades to learn. Each poomse is a training pattern upon which a competence and understanding of taekwondo is built, demonstrated and nurtured. They all embody all the principles of natural phenomena. Accordingly, taeguk poomse are represented by a trigram. As you move along the movement lines bear in mind their main principle theory.
