It is difficult to say for sure, based on a "sounds like" description, but many Taekwondo schools use the Taegeuk poomsae (forms) authorized by the Kukkiwon, and approved by the World Taekwondo Federation for Olympic Taekwondo Poomsae competition.

Each of the Taegeuk forms in the series are numbered one through eight. Counting in Korean ordinal numbers, they are as follows

IL = first (1st)

Yi = second (2nd)

Sam = third (3rd)

Sa = fourth (4th)

Oh = fifth (5th)

Yuk = sixth (6th)

Chil = seventh (7th)

Pal = eighth (8th)

The first form of the Taegeuk series, often practiced by yellow belts (or yellow stripes) is called Taegeuk 1st form, or "Taegeuk IL Jang. The term "jang" means one form in a series.

Taegeuk IL Jang - - 1st form

Taegeuk Yi Jang - - 2nd form

Taegeuk Sam Jang - - 3rd form

Taegeuk Sa Jang - - 4th form

Taegeuk Oh Jang - - 5th form

Taegeuk Yuk Jang - - 6th form

Taegeuk Chil Jang - - 7th form

Taegeuk Pal Jang - - 8th form

Instructors often do not enunciate clearly the terms used to name forms and techniques in Taekwondo (especially if they are speaking Korean to non-Korean speaking students), and many non-Korean Instructors do not know the correct spelling or pronunciation of the Korean terms. Even if you have school papers that show the words, they might not be accurate. It is best to speak to your Master Instructor, and ask what the origin of the form is - who created the form, and where there is an original source that names the forms correctly in writing.
