I would be suprised if this was a Korean form. Korean schools may use it, but it looks very Japanese to me. I would post it in the Japanese section.
(Now waiting for someone to tell me how wrong I am! :rolleyes: )

After watching again it looks like the name of the form is the first thing shown in the clip, along with the style I am guessing. I am sure you could google either of those and find more info.

It certainly doesn't look like any of the Ch'ang H'on TKD tuls.

Try in the Kenpo area. It is very Kenpo looking IMO, but I may be wrong. It has been a while since I have trained in Kenpo.

I think you're right. I don't recognise it but it does have the look of Japanese kata. The start was similiar to the Kushanku I know plus other bits looked like Seishan, it wasn't those katas but similiar enough movements to make it worth posting on the japanese section.

Ok guys - just an FYI that's me doing the form at my testing this weekend.

To us - the form is called Youn Wha - its our first Youn Wha form (taught at 2nd Dan). Since it has a lot of circular blocking and double blocking/punching I didn't know the origins of this form. I will post this in the japanese section as well to see if I can get any lineage on this form.
