What is the Tae Kwon Do US Open like?
There is poomsae competitions, pair poomsae, team poomsae, and sparring competitions, which will be based on your age and weight. It is very official and has very official judging, rules, and referees. This is a very strict competition in which you must put a lot of effort into. I won a bronze medal (3rd Place) in pair forms. I reccomend this competition to anybody who is willing to train insanely hard to win. I trust that anybody who reads this will take my advice and make the right choice. Don't do just to say that you went to the US Open, you want to be able to say that I went to the US Open, put all my effort into it, did my best, and won a medal. That's what you want to be able to say to your family and friends.

Why did taeguk replace palgwe?
More accurate spelling via modern Romanization: Taegeuk / Palgwae When the Palgwae were created to design a set of poomsae that were more compatible with the nature of Taekwondo, not all of the prominent Korean Grandmasters in each of the Kwans were consulted. Therefore, many of those Grandmasters rejected the Palgwae as the official forms. Subsequently, a new panel was formed, and they created the Taegeuk Poomsae based on the same three-lined trigrams, but with different techniques, and directions. While some people don't see any improvement, one philosophy of Taekwondo hyeong is to keep it as simple as possible in order for the color belt student to learn quicker, retain longer, and perform the various techniques contained within when confronted in a real-life self defense. No form is an exact duplicate of a real fight, but the information that is stored in the brain through repeated practice is compartmentalized, and able to be retrieved in whatever order and combination needed for the situation. The Taegeuk poomsae were designed to accomplish this in a way that suits the Taekwondo practitioner better, and provide a standard that can be applied within all Taekwondo dojang world wide.

How many patterns are there in tae kwon do?
'''Brief Answer:''' The answer to this depends upon what system of Taekwondo you study, and what organization (if any) with which your school is affiliated. International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF), now splintered into three groups claiming rights to the same name: 24 patterns called "tul" (see related link below for ITF tul) Kukkiwon - World Taekwondo Headquarters, Seoul, Korea: 8 geup (color belt), 9 Dan forms called "poomsae." The series of 8 Taegeuk forms replaced the previous 8 Palgwe as the official color belt poomsae, along with the 9 Black Belt forms, authorized by the Kukkiwon and approved by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) for Olympic competition. (see related link below for WTF Poomsae approved by the Kukkiwon) Other organizations use different forms. The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) and Song Ahm Taekwondo Federation (STF) use the 18 Song Ahm forms created and copyrighted by ATA co-founder and 2nd President of the ATA, the late Grandmaster Haeng Ung Lee (aka: "Eternal GM Lee") (see related link below for ATA Song Ahm Poomsae) '''Detailed Answer:''' "Patterns" (also called "forms") have several different general terms in the Korean Language. They are referred to as "tul," "hyung," or "poomsae" In the early days of ancient Martial Art in Korea, the system of instruction was not as organized with a refined curriculum as it is today. Forms practice did not exist in Korean Martial Art until the influence of Shotokan Karate during the Japanese occupation of Korea during WWII. In Japanese, the term for form is "Kata" and the forms are an integral part of teaching both technical skill, and practical application. When Korean Martial Art was being reorganized, and relabeled as Taekwondo in post WWII Korea, several of the Korean Kwan (school) founders had previously earned Black Belts in Japanese Karate. They then utilized the concept of pre-arranged patterns from Karate, and altered the movements to fit the Taekwondo techniques and strategies. The first set of forms designed for the purpose of teaching the new art of Taekwondo were called the "Chang Hon" (Blue Cottage) forms designed by Korean General Hong Hi Choi, one of Taekwondo's key founders (and the person credited for coining the term "Taekwondo"). Gen. Choi designed his system to have 24 patterns, one for each hour of the day for the rest of your life. Each of these forms are known as "tul" and are currently used by the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) that was founded by General Choi. The official Kwans (schools) of Taekwondo in Korea united together beginning in 1955, and eventually created the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA). From those roots, they built the National Academy and World Headquarters called the Kukkiwon. Today, Kukki Taekwondo is the official curriculum of Korea's National Martial Art known as Taekwondo. As Taekwondo's unique curriculum developed, it became clear to the Grandmasters in Korea that new forms were needed to emphasize Taekwondo's techniques. The Palgwe (8 trigram) forms were created based on the diagrams of the Chinese I Ching philosophy (four of the 8 symbols are represented on the Korean National Flag around the red and blue circle called the "Taegeuk"). Later, the Taegeuk series, based on the same 8 trigrams, were created and these are the forms that are official recognized in Korea. The Taegeuk Poomsae consist of Taegeuk number 1 through 8. The term "jang" (장) is used to describe one form within a series of related forms. Thus, each of the Taegeuk series is labeled as Taegeuk 1st Jang, 2nd jang, 3rd Jang, etc. the nine Black Belt forms of Kukki Taekwondo are: Koryo, Keumgang, Taebaek, Pyongwon, Sipjin, Jitae, Cheonkwon, Hansu, and Ilyeo.
What is the English term for tae?
As a Korean word, "tae" (태) can have a few different meanings, especially when combined with other words or suffixes. In connection with the Korean Martial Art of Taekwondo, "tae" is defined as the action of smashing or stomping with the foot."As a combined term, Taekwondo is 'roughly' translated as "The way of the hand and foot" or "The art of self defense using hands and feet." However, "tae" does not actually mean "foot" which is actually "bal" (발), nor does it translate as "kick" which is "chagi" (차기). "Tae" should be interpeted more as a general concept of smashing or destroying somthing by using the foot.It is also used in the term "taegeuk" (태극) for the symbol in the center of the national flag of South Korea. In this context, "tae" has the meaning of "big" or "oneness" which includes everything in the universe.

What is the yellow stripe form in taekwondo sounds like tongililjon?
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.
