Does anybody know if the forms are based off of the elements? When I do forms in class, I notice that each has a connection with a specific element. For instance, the Hyong forms all have a strong connection with Earth, Pyong - fire, Cho Sung through Basai - Earth/Fire, Sip Soo - Water, and I don't know any higher forms but I'm guessing they have a connection with air.
I noticed this while performing Sip Soo. I cleared my mind to concentrate, and an image of a waterfall popped into my head. While I focused on that, my movments began to flow like water, instead of being broken and awkward.
Are they actually based off of elements, or do the forms just remind me of certain ones?
