looking for Ji Do Kwan forms

[SamCanMan]

I was a student at Master Chun's Ji Do Kwan school, located in Youngstown Ohio, 40 years ago (1984-1987). I was in a TBI 30 years ago, and now I'm trying to find information about the forms I learned back then, so I could see if I can still do them. Can anyone give me information and videos for the fallowing forms I was taught back then:

Tae Kuk Cho dan
Tae Kuk I dan
T Sam Dan
T Cho Dan
T Sa Dan
T E Dan
Pyunyon Cho Dan
Pyunyon E Dan

I wish I could help but I am not familiar with the forms as listed. It is possible you practiced the Palgwe form set? They predate the Taeguek's, but they are still in use and should be easily found with a google search.
Or is it possible that 'Tae Kuk' was/is 'Taeguek'? This is the 'newer' WT/Kukkiwon poomsae or form set. If you search Youtube for the Kukkiwon channel, there are some very good videos of the forms.

Grandmaster Chun Kae Bae's lineage still has a presence in Ohio. Master Charles Stepans passed away a few years ago, but Sam Naples and Chuck Murzda still teach. Wooster, Ohio FB Page, there are videos on their FB page, which may be helpful. If nothing else, it can get you back in touch with your old school!

I'm a current student at Grandmaster Chun TKD in Wooster, and can mostly explain things. We'd love for you to stop by!

The Tae Geuk "x" Dan forms you're after are an adaptation of Shotokan's Taikyoku (I think) kata. As I understand, somewhere early on a grandmaster took Taikyoku Shodan and made it into Tae Geuk Cho Dan, then made the next three forms into their own. Those are not like the Shotokan kata, but instead use more classic TKD-based techniques. They became Tae Geuk E Dan, Sam Dan, and Sa Dan. The Pinan (or Pyongan, or Pyunyon, etc etc) forms are the more familiar TKD-adapted Heian kata.

I'm not able to make videos or such at the moment, but I can direct message you more details later on. Hope this helps until then!

Like I said before I had to take the past 8 months off from this.

I would like your help if you can. When my father and I took classes, we had to learn 10 self defense moves. My dad wrote them all down, but over the years he has lost a few. Dose Grandmaster Chun TKD in Wooste still do those 10 moves?

Fun little tidbit of info, Taikyoku (太極) is how you pronounce Taegeuk in Japanese and it's Taiji in Chinese. That's why in early TSD/TKD days those hyung were called taegeuk. When the KTA created their own taegeuk poomsae they started often referring to the japanese inspired forms as Kicho/Gicho and/or kibon which means something like fundamental or basic.

We sure do. We have one or more sets of self-defense techniques per belt, starting right at the beginning with white belt. It gets to be a lot to remember until you realize that it's really just a wide variety of applications for a small set of core techniques, plus a lot of practice with body mechanics.

More to your point, I can help you with which ones go with which ranks in our style in DMs.
