@42Cleve One wonders if they were ever meant to be "functional." It's very possible that they were meant as a practice mechanism to work on techniques and then evolved into an aspect meant to look "pretty" more than anything else. It's still in the exams and training, so we do it.
@berimli Since I teach TKD, I want to make sure that what I teach my students works. Some of my students have had to use what they were taught. I stick to basics because THEY WORK. No offense.
@EpicalAssassin Not WTF, Epical. Even though World Taekwondo Federation and Kukkiwon also have one-steps in their curriculum, theirs are more formalized with pre-choreographed techniques that the practitioners need to learn and know. You can find good videos on YouTube of at least the first 10 on their list also. On each belt test, including testing for black belt, one is expected to do well on one-steps as well as other aspects such as sparring, forms, self-defense and board breaks.
@berimli belive me.i know that! but ...in tae-kwon-do exist many positions for tully(in chinese "kata").I'm not practicing wtf(world taekwondo federation),i'm practicing itf(international taekwondo federation) . about this positions in taekwondo itf are wrong :) and in wtf,i don't know if those tehniques even exist .
Kata is a Japanese word describing detailed choreographed patterns of movements and is generally used for Japanese/Okinawan martial arts such as Karate, Aikido and Kendo. The Chinese word similar to it is taolu and is used for such Chinese martial arts disciplines as Kung fu and Wushu. For Korean disciplines such as TaeKwonDo and Tang Soo Do, hyeong is most commonly used even though Kukkiwon uses poomsae and ITF nowadays prefers teul (tul). This tutorial is about one-steps and not about forms.
That is definitely one way of looking at it. Unless you can find an opponent willing to stand still while you perform 3 to 5 techniques, one-steps are rather impractical in self defense. On the other hand, the purpose of one-steps is not to defend oneself in real life, but to display technique and control. A similar argument is valid for forms (teul, hyung, poomsae, kata, etc.) also.
wow...and people said my shotokan 1 steps weren't practical xD

When you kick, Make a loud "KIAAAAAAAAAAAAA" sound
Like loud as you possible can, Make that sound from your gut,
Make everybody in the room hear it two times over!
People in black belt should be intimidating like you are about to end somebodys life

This is why I no longer use fixed one steps. These aren't really functional.
