Hi Im a black belt in American Tang Soo Do (the original Chuck Norris System before it was renamed it Chun Kuk Do in 1991). I had a question concerning a form and hopefully my fellow TSD can help me out. In 1986 there was a big split within the Chuck Norris organization. Most of the black belts stayed with Mr. Norris and his UFAF, some went with Pat Johnson who reformed the old (Norris founded) National Tang Soo Do Congress, and many went on their own.
Anyway over the years most of the schools/organizations that trace their lineage back to Chuck Norris use the same forms list as one another. Though many have added newer design forms and changed the traditional forms order. But I have noticed that there is a form called Tae Ge Hyul in Pat Johnsons NTC organization that doesnt seem to be in any other ATSD group that I know of. Not even Mr. Norris UFAF/CKD names this form.
I was wondering does anybody have any info on Tae Ge Hyul (alternate spellings: Tae Ji Hyul, Dae Ji Hyul, Tae Ji Heyul)? Is it a tradional Korean form or like most TSD forms of Japanese/Okinawan origin? If it is of Japanese/Okinawan origin what is its counterpart? Description of it's movements? Etc.
Theres only three sites where I have found any mention of this form but they dont give much info other than what rank it's form. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
