I was just wondering, I've not seen much video footage of the HRD Hyungs on the internet. Does any have any links to video footage of the patterns they do, as it would be nice to see how they compare with other systems
Farang, Kuk Sa Nim.
I recognized a bit of that kang gum hyung (I've only seen it a few times) and some of the dan gum movements from camp with Master Corona's group. Much of the rest sure looks different to me. These forms are original, no?
Thank you Sir!
When I learned Hwarang Do, we had nine long forms, one for each color rank - each was tied to a virtue.
White - In Hyung
Orange - Oui Hyung
Yellow - Yeh Hyung
Green - Gi Hyung
Purple - Sin Hyung
Blue - Sun Hyun
Brown - Duk Hyung
Red - Chung Hyung
Half-black - Yong Hyung
I learned the dan bong form as well, single-man staff, dan gum hyung and another long hyung for first black. That is all separate from the ten short forms, kick tests and basic combinations (kwon bop).
Does any of that sound familiar, sir?
Respectfully,

Farang Georgina,
Yes, I recognize this version of set of forms. It looks like, I want to say, the 3rd evolution of forms I experienced, just before the addition of the Tae Soo Do stuff (which we totally rejected in my school).
This looks like when they added a long form for White, and new Green and Brown forms. When I started with them in '85 there was no long form for white, and purple and brown belts didn't exist. The color belt forms ended with half-black (Sun hyung). Duk, Chung and Yong were 1st, 2nd and 3rd black respectively.
While I was with them, I saw the forms change and get shuffled around about 4-5 times. This doesn't include some of the "old stuff from Korea" that I also picked up from Master Yum and Master Yu Chan Kim. Boy, you are making me dig back with some memories...
Farang!
With much respect and brotherhood,

KSN,
Do you teach application of form as part of the learning process?

Since I developed our forms in Modern Farang Mu Sul
Bore away I find it interestingHello Shesulsa,
Farang! In essence, Yes. Our forms are unique FMS forms. They reflect the diversity of Korean arts that I learned, and being the one who created and/or modified them, I understand their flow and what the movements mean. So, our guys are kinda lucky. This also describes our art, FMS. All of FMS is mainly based on a couple versions of HRD, Kuk Sool, Do Hap Sool and Sun Mu Do. Our art combines in a very fluid and sensible manner, the best elements of these, and makes a very challenging yet rewarding experience for our students. Or, at least that is my goal.
You should recognize quite a bit (depending on how far you got in the "old system", and which version you got....). The Gum Moo Hyung (2nd Sword form) that I first learned from Master Kim was the exact same form I later "re-learned" from JBL. I believe Master Corona should have learned the same form from Master Kim too. With FMS, we maintained the core elements of all the HRD forms thru Yong hyung. Although, the original version of Yong hyung that I learned from Eric Lee was incredibly short and too simple to be a 3rd dan level hyung. We ended "beefing it up" quite a bit. Same thing with the original dan bong set I learned from Master Yum, which was a 1st dan hyung. We kept a version of that shorter and more simple version as one of our half black forms. The 1st dan level dan bong form we use is much more elaborate and appropriate for our black belts.
So, anyway, I'm thinking this kind of stuff is only interesting for folks with our background / history, so I'll stop boring the public.
With much respect and brotherhood,
Kuk Sa Nim
