Talk:Hyung
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Currently the link under Dan-Gun ("Please refer to the article on Dan-Gun for his legend and story") goes to a very short separate page about the form, which in turn links to the legend of Dangun. I think the Dan-Gun article should be incorporated into this one, which would then link straight to the legend of Dangun.
As a non-wikipedian I'm hesitant to make large changes, but I'm happy to do it if no one objects. 140.247.103.35 01:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
It looks like there are a few pages on Dangun which double up some information, and similarly for Chon-Ji. I have merged Kodang with this article, and pointed all the links in International_Taekwondo_Federation#Patterns and TAGB#Patterns to here. Now I'm going to propose the following pages for deletion:
- Chon-Ji
- Dan-Gun
- Dan-gun_%28taekwon-do%29
- Kodang

- Thanks for your work, 140.247.103.20 (can I call you "140"?) I don't think we need to actually delete these pages -- we can keep them as redirects or disambiguation pages. Thanks again! -- Visviva 02:44, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
The page is a bit messy, is there any way we can seperate ITF tuls from WTF poomses? would make it much clearer and easier for people to find what they want

[edit] Other Forms/Poomsae
Does anyone know what forms Jhoon Rhee's style teaches? Also, Songmookwan has its own forms, called Jungbom forms. Very interesting, graceful & flowing, more circular moves. Three of the Dan forms in the Junbom series use weapons - a Manju broadsword, a staff, and a straight sword, like a Blue Dragon style sword. Master Roh also teaches both the taeguk forms and the whole palgye series, including the Dan forms. --Dan 16:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Missing poomse?
My dojang teaches the poomse Keomgang between poomsae Korya and Taebek. Could someone more knowledgeable write something about this?

- You're right, Heidi - I've studied several places and Keomgang is always there in that spot. The name means diamond, and refers to the Diamond Mountain range in Korea. If you notice the path you walk during the form, it takes the shape of the character for mountain, pronounced 'san' in Korean, and the block executed several times during the form, called "Keomgang Makee", Diamond Block, where you have your arms out straight to your sides with the elbows bent up 90deg also forms that 'san' character, with your head being the middle part of the character. So it's to do with the mountains, in particular the most beautiful mountain range in Korea. At least I hope it's still beautiful; the range is in the north. --Dan 22:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
These forms are listed in a very strange order when compared to that of any ITF publication I've ever seen. According to General Choi Hong Hi's official Taekwon-Do encyclopedia, the order is as follows: Chong-Gi, Dan-Gun, Do-San, Won-Hyo, Yul-Gok, Joong-Gun, Toi-Gye, Hwa-Rang, Choong-Moo, Kwang-Gae, Po-Eun, Ge-Baek, Eui-Am, Choong-Jang, Juche, (Ko-Dang), Sam-Il, Yoo-Sin, Choi-Yong, Yon-Gae, Ul-Ji, Moon-Moo, So-San, Se-Jong, Tong-Il. Just wondering what the justification for the alternate listing was. - David
