General Questions
Q. What is Poomse(Forms)?
|
A. Forms are one of the most important elements in the development of Tae Kwon Do. They range from beginner through master level where students learn to develop their proper Tae Kwon Do techniques. The forms' steps are quite easy to learn, but they are very difficult to perfect when the students have to perform correctly. This difficulty comes from the refinement of coordination, balance, timing, breath control and rhythm, all of which take time to master. Forms can be practiced anywhere and at any time which is beneficial for many students when they have to practice by themselves. Forms contain both defensive and offensive movements. To perfect a poomse series, practice repetitively until it is deeply ingrained so that all movements are instinctive. Below are the names of the forms that range from white to first degree black belt. |
Testing
Q. What is the purpose of testing?
|
A. Promotion testing allows each student to demonstrate their progress in skills and knowledge to certified examiners in front of witnesses. The promotion exam process builds self-confidence through expressing oneself with maximum effort. Exam preparation teaches students to set and reach goals, a valuable skill in everyday life.
