Yes and yet some teach it along with there TKD as it seems to be.

And strangely fail to identify it as such.

I do Kum Kang it does not start like that, your school may have changed it or It is a different form. Ask your sabum nim to write the name down,watch the spelling for a lot of names sound alike but they are different spellings.Good luck on finding your name. All the best in the arts

Bearing in mind Master Stoker's input above, see these two Kanku kata (with thanks to Andrew Green):

Kanku Dai

and Kanku Sho

I'll admit not having time to look at them myself...

I think it might be Keumgang. I think that's the 2nd Dan poomse. I'm only a blue belt, so I'm not 100% sure, but I think that's what it's called. This is in the WTF by the way.


Thanks but no, it is not Keumgang. I know that form. I call it the gorilla form haha, because of the stomping. Not one of my favorites but certainly a powerful form.

Sorry TKDmel I know it is not Kwemgang, I was just playing around. Here is what I believe it is Kanku
Kanku (65 movements)<<

Thank you so much. I have to print it out and read it as it seems a tad overwhelming reading it on line - but I am hopeful that it is what I am looking for.

Someone asked if it might be a Hwarang Do or Tang Soo Do form and from what I understand, it is based on one or both of those arts but I have been unable to find it in either art.

thank you also for the two sites. My computer keeps locking up when I try the hyper link so I will sign off now and go directly to the sites!
