My understanding is that the WTF (World TKD) association utilizes the palgwe/taeguek poomse or kata/forms and the ITF (International TKD) uses the hyung's. The kata I learned from white to Black Belt candidate are as follows, w/ English translation:
Tan Gun = Legendary Founder of Korea
To San = Philospher & Educator
Yol Kuk = Confucious of Korea
Toi Gye = Penname of a Noted Scholar
Choi Gye = Iron Horse
Hwa Rang = Korean Youth Movement to unite the 3 Kingdoms of Sila
Chung Moo = Admiral of the 1st Armored Korean Battleship
Kwan Gae = 19th Emporer of the Kookaroo Dynasty
and finally...
Bat Sai (Bassai Dai) = Breaking thriugh the Fortress
now of course a lot the spellings, translations and movements are similar to other styles and disciplines...I love em all...except for Chung Moo( for me it's was and is a pain in the A _ _ to learn and perform). I guess my fav would be Bat Sai (Bassai Dai), I like the way it moves, the tempo, and the mixture of pauses and then intense explosive moves, which I think all kata's should be performed in the hard hitting disciplines, especilly TKD, Shotokan, Kempo's ecetera, blah, blah
These comments and opinions are strickly my own views and interpretations, I may be mistaken on some things, if I am, please let me know, thanks.

We have bat Sai in Karate, but it is caled Bassai Dai, there are two in the set, Bassai Dai (to break thru the fortress major) and Bassai Sho (to break thru the fortress minor)
Both Kata's are excewllent, I only know Bassai Dai, but am wanting to learn Bassai Sho.
I do not Study Taekwondo, but like the fact of it very much.
Is it ITF with the most focus on kicks or WTF, somebody has told me in the past, but I thikn its WTF!

Ah ha. I never read past the first post before. I thought poomses were something exclusive to TKD.
In Kuk Sool Won, we refer to them as Hyung as well. My favorite so far, due to its challenging nature, is Baek Pahl Ki Hyung (108 Ki form). Its based on the Buddhist philosphy of breaking the 108 torments that every man/woman posses as given by Mother Nature (don't know the details). Sufice to say, it is a rather long one, and demands good balance, breath control, speed and power control.
The one I'm learning now, for third degree, is Kyuk Pah Hyung (power-break form). Its interesting, but no where near as long or as difficult as Baek Pahl Ki Hyung. |

I believe your right Moobrack (WTF), I've seen tournaments that restricted hand techniques all together, just leg strikes with knock - outs exceptable
