Forms, patterns or tul (also teul or 틀) in Korean, originally called hyeong, form an important aspect of training in Taekwon-Do. They are equivalent to the kata in karate. The majority of the patterns (except Yul-Gok, Ul-Ji and Tong-Il) start with a defensive move, which emphasizes taekwon-do's defensive nature.

There are 24 patterns in the official ITF “Chang Hon” syllabus, which represents the 24 hours in a day. The names of these patterns refer to events or important people in Korean history. Features of the patterns may also have historical references, such as the number of moves, the diagram, the way the pattern ends etc.

This page provides free video and written instructions for all of the ITF Taekwondo patterns 1 through 24. These color belt and black belt Taekwondo patterns are used by the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF)

Here you will find information, patterns, sets and other items related to the patterns of Chang Hon aka ITF or even the Chon Ji Pattern Sets. Every major change of the pattern will be available (basically the 1965 and then the latest 1999). Most of them are cosmetic in their differences.

Those who refer to their forms as "hyung" can be either modern ITF, kwan-based (that is, while officially belonging to Kukkiwon, they retain their original style look/feel), or traditional Tang Soo Do stylists.

2011年11月21日 · Hyung refers to the original Karate forms that was imported to the Kwan as well as older forms before the word Poomse/Poomsae and Tul was used. As such they would most likely do their power generation by hip twist. Tul refers to the martial forms of the ITF as it is only they that seem to use this word.

It is called Tan-Gun Hyung or Tan-Gun Tul in modern ITF and ITF-derived schools. In his 1965 book on Taekwondo, Choi Hong Hi writes this on Tan-Gun Hyung: "Tan-Gun is named after the holy Tan-Gun, the legendary founder of Korea in the year of 2334 B.C." And that is really all the background you get on this character.

Simply put, Taekwondo forms are patterns of stances, blocks and strikes intended to fine tune the techniques of the student. The Korean terms hyeong, poomsae and teul are all used to refer to Taekwondo forms or “patterns.” The word hyeong is often romanized as hyung – hyeong is the term usually used in Traditional Taekwondo.

2010年12月15日 · Poomse is the term used by the WTF/Kukkiwon, Tul by the ITF, Hyung by older styles like TSD/KSD/SBD. I believe Hyung was from more of a Chinese derived word. The others are more native Korean for form and pattern.

ITF traditional hyung are noticably different. They are characterized by circular motions and long deliveries. There is a rhythmic rising and falling of the head in a wave motion as you move through the form.
