Actually in KMA the words are hyung poomsae and tul. In JMA and OMA it is kata. And not splitting hairs, because the principles the underlie...
Kata was not mentioned, just "any/all Korean forms". A "kata" is not a "Korean form". See your original post below. Kicking is a form a...
General Choi did very little, if any, training on the makiwara. There are pictures of General Choi's featuring his hands on desks, but his...
No offense taken. Just stating facts. Wrong. Here is the original post. Kata is not mentioned. I don't see the word "kata" in there. Do you?...
The chamber with the bent arm is the same in my opinion from the straight arm, because the elbow of the pulling arm travels the same distance...
There are others, but that is the main distinguishing characteristic between korean martial arts and others, that we do with our feet what others...
We are not talking about "kata" but rather "korean forms and applications". So any statement regarding kata does not apply here. Locks and...
The opening move of taegeuk 1 jang that some said was a hammer fist to the groin. For taekwondoin versed in the modern competition training...
Here one application. In Palgwae 7 Jang, there are two hujin steps (slide back) followed by a middle punch with the rear hand. A sparring...
I don't know. Never really asked about it. If I had to guess, I would say they wanted to standardize the poomsae even more, because I know that...
I wouldn't say that I know him "very well", but we know each other. How that came about was he had a copy of GM HWANG Kee's Tangsoodo Kyobon...
Don't both of these constitute whining, bitching, complaining and sniping? I disagree with your assessment and feel that this topic has been...
I don't see any problems with teaching your own children. Many martial arts are passed down that way, from parent to child. I notice many dojang...
That move also relates if you have a knife or knives in your hand(s).
I took a Kukkiwon seminar and the demonostrator above was one of the instructors. I know he toured the US during those Kukkiwon Instructor Courses.
Why don't you start the discussion off with one of the "Korean forms" that you practice. I know you created one, but have you learned any "Korean...
We hear about how karate was accepted into the Okinawan school system back at the turn of the last century. I wonder if that is how it is today. I...

No problem with your position, as long as you realize the same when people point out your inexperience and lack of knowledge in an area.
Here is a quote from a book entitled Customs and Culture of Okinawa, first published in 1955: * Psychology Psychologists and sociologists...
This comment again shows your lack of experience with kukki taekwondo in general, and the modern competition training methods in particular. Many...
If there is an "us vs. them" mentality, it is because you and other non kukki taekwondo people set it up that way. Kukki taekwondo is about...
And the thing about that is, if someone cannot or will not take the time to learn the proper pronunciation and spelling, then what is the...
I agree. The only thing was that the stitching wasn't that great, unraveling and all of that. But I have a student who works as a furniture...
Too much of that is not good though, because you begin to start thinking gojuryu thoughts in a taekwondo context. I took karate before taekwondo...
