2nd Black Belt
I have noticed some differences looking online at people performing the forms, and what I was taught. If I go and train/test somewhere, will I be faulted for knowing the forms 'wrong'? Somewhere along the way an instructor changed a few things.
Examples -
Dan Gun - Towards the end, the 4 rising blocks. I was taught that each movement was a down block then rising. From what I've seen, and from my form book by Hee Il Cho, the down block is only on the first move, the next three are strictly rising blocks.
Hwa Rang - I have seen the 3 reserve punches down at an angle, I was taught straight ahead. The double elbow attack following I was taught as a riding stance, I've seen it a fighting stance looking backwards over the right shoulder. I was also taught it begins with the Heaven Hands movement, which is apparent the start of Gwang Gae.
Also, explain to me the self defense purpose of the jump 360 spin in Chung Moo.
