Palgwe vs. Tae Geuk

[J. Pickard]

Both of them feel like they were designed by committee (because they were). The Taegeuk poomsae feel more comprehensive to me, like they actually build on each other whereas the palgwe poomsae feel more disconnected. Just my personal view.

Lots of people learn them.

I see the problem. You think the Kukkiwon is the sum total of Taekwondo, is that right?
You're wrong about that.

Because the Kukkiwon considers 1st Dan to be a beginner rank, which is commonly awarded after as little as one year of training. That's their stance, and that is what the Taegeuk poomsae were designed for.
If you don't like that, go to a non-KKW school.

I don't know why you are being so rude.
