Least favorite form?

[tko4u]

Okay, thanks to mimir for making me think, you knew it was coming, but what form is your least favorite, it could be because you had trouble learning it, or because of the pattern?

Kaum Kang just never like it, don't know why it is a wonderful poomsae, just jate it.

 

[granfire]

Do San.

HATE it!

and it's the one I always end up teaching, too!

As soon as I advanced away from it I forgot it! it never seemed to flow right for me.

terry could it be because it didnt have 1 kick in it? That takes a little away from that form for me

Yes that is it. I just like to throw kicks go figure.

 

[tkd75]

I agree with that!

 

[terrylamar]

Sanchin Kata. I hate getting beat on!

Oh come on why not?

Keumgang is certainly on my list of forms I don't care for. No kicking is one reason, but I just miss any appreciation for it.

The OP & Kwanjang know of a few others on my list that I'd rather pass on.:ultracool

toi guy

those insipidly stupid elephant stomps in the middle of the form ruin it for me

In the Taeguk series, I don't have one I hate. Although he have a bubble of students who REALLY struggle with poomse. They JUST don't get it...righ tnow they're learning Sah Jang...some days I dread teaching that one. No tbecaus eof th eform but becuase of the test on my patience

In the Heian katas I'm not a big fan Kata Heian San Dan...don't like the so called "chicken move" and the "elbow strikes" that follow it. I probbaly need to look at ian Abernathy's bunkai interpretation to gain some appreciation. But until then I just don't get it.

Peace,
Erik

Taebaek. Just too obviously Japanese for me. Don't mind the cat stance and spread blocks, but the rest....
It just doesn't have the flow and Korean-ness of the others.

Funny I think Tae Baek is a great form and I see alot of the Korean influence in it. I would have thought this would be a faborite of yours Youngman? I know the movement are challenging to alot of people when they are first learning it, but What would you say is the most nin Korean influence? Just curios thats all.

Probably the square block segments and the spinning into the backfist. I dunno, just doesn't do it for me. Palgue Oh Jang is not a favorite of mine for those reasons either.
On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoy the other Kukkiwon Koryo forms for various reasons. Just not Taebaek.

I can certainly appreciate your honesty on this matter, like for me and that KunKang one it just bugs the living **** out of me.

Dan-gun

 

[Kwanjang]

Tae Geuk Oh Chang...Grumble, I am not a fan of Geum Gan either

I am like terry, NO Kicks. And I think Taebek is OK.

 

[Kwanjang]

Dan-gun

Hey Sylo, Why don't you like Dan Gun. Do you know who Dan Gun Was? (supposedly)
