Introduction to Taekwondo Poomsae

Poomsae is very important in Taekwondo practice. It is equivalent to the routines in Chinese martial arts. The following is an introduction to Taekwondo Poomsae, welcome to read.

Poomsae is a training system that designs defensive and offensive movements into routines based on basic movements. It is a technique that assumes real fighting and counterattacks when the opponent attacks. Poomsae is allocated according to the strength and level of the practitioner. A Poomsae can consist of about 20 to 30 technical movements.

Practitioners below black belt (white belt to red and black belt) must master the poomsae from "Tai Chi Chapter 1" to "Tai Chi Eight Chapters";

Entering the Duan is the system. After obtaining a black belt, the poomsae that must be mastered according to different levels include "Koryeo", "King Kong", "Taebaek", "Pingyuan", "Shijin", "Di Taekwondo", "Tianquan", "Hanshui", "Yiru", etc. (We will introduce them one by one and post the above-mentioned Poomsae video to share with friends).

If you want to practice Poomsae to perfection, you must gradually go through the following five stages.

Stage 1: Form

The first stage of Poomsae practice focuses on learning the form of movements, shouts, sights, compositions, and angles, and the goal is the accuracy of the movements.

Stage 2: Meaning

After understanding the form, the key stages are center, strength, speed, breathing, and poomsae line. The meaning of movements, the meaning of movements and the connection between movements, and the meaning of the whole poomsae.

Stage 3: Practical

Only after understanding the meaning of the movements can they be used in actual combat.

Stage 4: Digestion

The techniques and effects used in actual combat should be evaluated and transformed based on your own body shape, speed, strength, explosive power, Taekwondo training focus, etc., and find out the most outstanding ones. The most effective techniques make it a process of its own.

Stage Five: Completion
