Favorite Hyung...

[Spookey]

Dear All,

I am interested in learning what your favorite pattern was prior to Black Belt.

Please include the name of the pattern, the rank at which it is preformed, and the reason for which the specific pattern is your favorite!

TAEKWON!

Dear All,

My favorite hyung (pre black belt) was Choong Moo. The patterns is the last in our series prior to receiving your Black Belt. This pattern is the first in it's set to include some of my favorite techniques...Reverse Knifehand, Flying Side Kick, and multiple rearward movements!

Over all it is a very fun and energizing pattern to preform. Many alternating movements, direction and momentum changes, and dynamic movements!

TAEKWON!

Geetings,

As a gup student, my favorite poomse was Palgwe Chil Chung, I enjoyed the front and side kicks the most. That would have been at green belt,6th and 5th gup. At Brown thru Red, 4th-1st gup, I favored Koryo for both the kicks and the mix of hand techniques.

Mine was (still is) pyung ahn ee dan as a 6th gup in TSD. In TKD, it's a toss-up between taegeuk 7 and 8.

I just finished learning Koryo tonight. So I'm really hitting that hard now. But it's tought to pick a specific "favorite".

Favorite guep-level poomsae is Taegeuk 7. I like it for it's "Kung-fu-like feel-lots of open hand pressing blocks and efficient-block to strikes. I also like the spread-block, knee strike series as it is practical, brutal self-defense.


My favorite dan-level poomsae is Sipjin as it has a lot of good applications and demanding sections calling for breath control and concentration.

Prior to Black Belt, I had several favorites:

Pyung Ahn Sa Dan (#4) learned at 6th Gup Green Belt

Dan Kwon Hyung learned at 4th Gup Purple Belt

Jee Tae learned at 1st Gup Brown Belt

has to be Bassia then Tae beck and Chung Mu in that order.

 

[Jim Tindell]

I love Koryo, but I haven't learned any of the other Dan forms.

 

[bignick]

I guess after rereading the question you asked for the favorite gup level pattern specifically...

So with those constraints, I'd have to pick Palgwe Chil Chung or Palgwe Sa Chung

 

[MichiganTKD]

Palgwe Chil, for its wave-like rhythm. I also like the block-grab-to-side kick, crescent kick, sweep-stomp, and groin strike. Some of our instructors removed the groin strike, but I always taught it.

 

[rainbows]

Ditto that. Choong Moo was also my favuorite pattern.

Ditto. I'm learning Choong Moo at the moment and it rocks soooooo hard. I also like Toi-Gye, but my knees hate it.

 

[Teh Tot]

I also have to say coong moo, although im only learning it now, my favorite part is the flying side piercing kick, and the 360 jump into a double knife-hand guarding block.

 

[Mithios]

My favorite pre black belt form would be Choon-Moo. I like the tech's and direction, momentum changes. Mithios

 

[Zepp]

Prior to black belt, my favorite was Pyong-an 5, which I leaened as a purple belt. Since being promoted to black, and learning Chul-gi 2, I've found a new appreciation for Chul-gi 1, even though I learned that as a brown belt.

Oh...you said "Hyung" not "Hymmn"?? Oops...

 

[jfarnsworth]

Choong - Moo at brown was among my tops but for some reason I really liked doing Toi-Gye.
