Hyung (Forms)
Forms are a key element for the progression of out Tang Soo Do Training. It is only natural that basic techniques be transformed into groups of motions which will ultimately prepare our bodies and minds for the realities of defensive conflict. Basic forms consist of single blocks, kicks, and punches patterned to develop control, balance, timing, power, and speed. As forms progress, they are increasingly complex in the combinations of patterns and the application of advance techniques. Perfect form, the union of the mind and body, is truly and art, and the practioner should train with sincerity and a deep commitment to this ideal.
**Refer to the “Promotional Requirements” section of this manual for the Hyung requirement for each Gup level of training.
