—- Introduction – Why This Study Guide? 태권도 태극 품새 Of course one cannot learn taekwondo (pumse, poomse, patterns, or “forms”) simply by looking at diagrams. For many taekwondo students, however, remembering the basic steps of a form is an important (but difficult) first step.

As you are learning a new form, the diagrams shown below may help – simple study guides that you can print-out and carry with you (or view on your computer of smartphone) to help you memorize the basic steps of each form. Why did I develop these diagrams? For one thing, most poomsae diagrams on the Internet place the starting position at the “top” of the illustration.

This means the reader must mentally “turn the diagram around” in his or her head, so that the left becomes right and vice versa. I find those diagrams difficult to understand. The diagrams shown in this blog place the starting position at the bottom of the illustration instead, making these diagrams easier to read (in my opinion). Also, I wanted diagrams that fit neatly and clearly onto a single page, so that I could print them out and carry them with me as study aids. (These diagrams are also formatted to look clear on an iPad or other tablet, if you’re viewing these online.). My diagrams start at the bottom of the page rather than at the top.

I think this makes them easier to read. There are four kinds of diagrams in this blog: • The first diagrams, the, are the basic forms used at * for the very early belts (white, yellow, orange). • Below those simple kibon diagrams you will see the diagrams, the standard (WTF) forms used at most taekwondo schools in the U.S. • Below that, the standard WTF forms. Ray Charles Genius The Ultimate Collection. • And finally, diagrams. Why palgwae diagrams? Because at Majest, Black Belts also study palgwae forms.

In the taegeuk diagrams below, the color of belt (green, purple, blue, etc.) associated with each form at Majest is also identified in the diagram, but of course different taekwondo schools use different color schemes. The poomsae themselves will be the same from one WTF school to the next, so if you are a taekwondo student at a different school, these diagrams should still be helpful. Clicking on any diagram below will give you a nice large version that you can print and see clearly.

Kibon Poomsae Kibon Hana At Majest, white belts study Kibon Hana to progress to yellow belt. The idea of the diagram below is that the little blue robot is an overhead view of you, beginning at the bottom of the diagram. Of course the diagram doesn’t show every subtle nuance of the form (such as how to chamber your arms between movements), but if all you’re trying to do is remember the basic pattern of the form, this diagram should be helpful. Since different schools may use very different kibon forms (and some schools refer to the kibon poomsae using the similar phrase kicho hyung), it can be a little difficult to find good videos showing these forms being executed. For this version of Kibon Hana, I like from BlackBeltStudios because (halfway through the video) it shows you the form “from the back” which is how you see it in class when the instructor performs it with you. Some tips: You’ll see that in many poomsae you are punching with one of your hands, kicking with one of your feet, etc.

However what you do with the off hand or foot can often be just as important as what you’re doing with the primary hand or foot. For example: • In Kibon Hana, when you prepare for the downward block (also called a Low Block), you “ chamber” your fist first by placing it at your opposite shoulder. What should the off hand be doing during this time? You should be “ aiming” it by pointing the off-fist forward, out in front of you. • For almost all the poomsae you will learn, learning the proper chamber and aim that precedes each step will make your poomsae so-o-o-o much better, and often they make the form easier to memorize as well. If you click on the 20-Step Version above, you’ll see that I’ve annotated some of the chambering so that you can see what I mean. Also: • Try to get some good “snap” in your downward blocks.

Let’s supposed your doing a downward block with your left arm; chamber your left fist to the right shoulder, with the thumb-portion of the fist pointing out in front of you. As you bring the arm down, keep the back of your fist pointing downward until near the end of the motion, so that at the last moment the wrist can twist and “snap” into position for the block. • Same goes for the punches: try to get a good “snap” by rotating the fist toward the end of the punch (not at the beginning of the punch). • Remember these are Long Stances (aka Front Stances); if you can see your toes below your forward foot, you haven’t bent your forward knee enough (your knee should be blocking your view of your toes). Likewise, the rear knee should be straight, not bent, with the heel of the foot firmly on the floor. Kibon Dool Yellow belts study this form at Majest, to progress to orange belt.
