These videos are great. I'm currently preparing for my black belt test (1st dan) after taking a few years off for college, so I've got to relearn all the forms again. My school follows the UWTA system, so there are some stylistic variations, but he does everything so cleanly that they're still excellent for learning.
@matbroomfield. This style of TKD incorprates what is known as 'Sine Wave', which in essence starts with a downward movement, then rises and falls, upon which the full technique is executed. Google TKD sine wave. Other styles of TKD do not use Sine Wave, but incorporate more 'Hip twist' to increase the power. There is plus and minus arguments for both styles, but at the end of the day if you enjoy learning the style you are taught, who cares, just enjoy.
@trophy1999 "but at the end of the day if you enjoy learning the style you are taught, who cares"
I could not disagree more. If you are learning martial arts as a form of aerobics, then your comment is true, but if you are training to defend yourself, it's VITAL that you critically assess whether or not your style does that for you.
Thank you for your reply, but this appears to be a massive exaggeration of a moot principle because the energy is travelling in the wrong direction.
@matbroomfield Good observational point about self defence. Patterns or katas, cannot be simply used as the only basis for self defence, they are mearly a training tool to master techniques against an amaginary aponante and to also assess a students progress through the grading sylabus. Sparring and actual self defence training against a real person is the only way to really aquire the skills nessassary to defend one's self.
@trophy1999 Respectfully, I would suggest that katas were originally learned SOLELY for their self defence applications. Competition and gradings have robbed them of their true function, forcing practitioners to make them LOOK right, instead of deriving from them the combative lessons that were originally encoded. In fairness, as kata were "bolted on" to the TKD syllabus, I suspect that they were never properly valued in that style. Not hating - just stating.
I've just started learning this pattern and it looks like it's going to be a difficult one to learn. All credit to the guy in this video for showing us how it's done!
@4agzeddy Hi, in my opionion this pattern is one of the most challanging patterns in the 1st Dan sylabus, for the simple reason that the pattern is basic in its techniques compared to Gwang Gae and Gae Beak. There is not twists and turns, high turning kicks to distract the observer. Therefore any faults in the execution of this pattern are easly identified. I hated this pattern when i first started learning it, I mastered it, and now love it. Have fun.
This guy is awesome!! i have just learnt Dan-Gun and have a long way to go till this.... what an acheivement it would be if i could be as good as him!!
Is the kick in this a pressing kick. I thought you were supposed to bend your standing leg otherwise it's a low side kick. Can someone tell me! I'm a first degree at the moment
querido amigo ... los movimientos 6 y 7 son ataques con puño hacia una patada se levanta el codo para ejecutar un golpe descendente con el puño ! hay que aprender mas !
You people are sooo dumb its a nice awesome cool form i dont know why anyone says its boring slow fast ugly and ugly dont make sense uhh people make me SOOO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Narutopro3 It's called "wave", which seems to be ruling the current execution of tuls. It illustrates the natural movement of the body. Admittedly, I personally don't like it either, it's just the way it is right now.
@ HollywoodKendrick That's the difference between tuls and hyongs. Hyongs are patterns that are executed as if you were in a real fight. Many schools adopt this as: "fast". A result is that most techniques aren't done properly. That's where tuls come in..
This is a performance... Sabum nim Jaroslaw Suska is a good example to us, It shows how a pattern must be applicated, he knows every movement and makes an unified and harmonious tul.
"A Taekwon-Do pattern is a choreographed sequence of fundamental movements in an imaginary fight against one attacker or several. The execution of the movements requires the application of the Theory of Power. Correct breathing generates internal energy, which increases power."
@Eunlee0909 He is doing a black belt pattern called Po Eun, in a martial art called Taekwondo. He is demonstrating the original form of Po Eun, as taught by the founder of taekwondo, General Choi Hong Hi. There are many different types of taekwondo nowadays, but the original one is still taught under the ITF schools.
@Raitsogen Pity, you're missing the point of the pattern. It demonstrates fast AND slow movements, in harmony. You need to have good control of your breathing to get this one right. A whole group of belt belts doing Po Eun is very inspiring to watch.
Well done for making the series of videos, it's a great source for me as this is the last pattern I need to learn for my 1st Dan TKD before taking my grading.
@100jokes really fast??not sure what really fast is by your standard but they are performed perfectly at the correct speed in this video mate. By the international instructors standard i mean. In the latest edition of the ITF encyclopedia (written by Gen Choi) there is no mention of doing any thing really fast in this pattern :)
For the ITF standards, this is very, very good, one of the best executed Po-Eun i have ever seen. I am a 3rd degree ITF black belt and 1st Dan WTF and Chang Moo Kwan black belt, i know there are different standards. Just one note, Gen Choi revised this form until he died, this is the real thing, blending of Karate Shotokan and taekkyon at its finest. The movements are relaxed yet firm on their conclusion, the swinging movent (power theory) taken from taekkyon. Nice job
cosmo101 el unico (no) ingles xDDD pero bldo enserio,5 dan aciendo el de 1 pero al principio cuando ta en chumbi le falta el 245 con miembros superiores :/
His technique is extremely good. I would like to remind those who think that the sine wave motion looks funny of something. Katas look rediculas to me in part because the head stays so level. However, I don't think it would be appropriate for me to say that someone's form is horrible if I have not mastered the art myself and understand what I I'm watching.
yeah... it looks like you're trying to do the sine wave in the form, but that just makes it look weird and doesn't really make it look any more powerful. You also look very static. I find it looks much better when being more fluid, like how kungfu practitioners are when they do their forms. I know that removing the sine wave makes it less like Gen. Choi intended and more towards a karate-like form, but remember, Taekwondo has parts of its foundation in karate.
@seouljae tae kwon dos patterns were not intended to be like karate. to some one who does something different of course this looks silly, they do a different thing. just like i would think karate looks silly. "there is no right or wrong way, only the way that works for you."
@mrrightnow9 well, first of all, you make it sound like I do a different art than Taekwondo, so to clear up any confusion I am in Taekwondo. Second, I'm just giving my critique of the form using my own experiences with Po-Eun and what I have seen with other practitioners who have demonstrated it.
He's not doing kata. He's doing tul. That'd be because he's demonstrating TKD, which moves with a sine-wave motion, & not karate, which glides in straight lines.
I came here to say the same thing but you beat me to it. Looks like he's doing po-eun in a boat. Your head should stay nearly perfectly level unless a specific part required you to change elevations. This is really very very poor form.
@thejpfan This isn't karate, so it isn't kata. I admit the sine wave motion is kind of annoying, but if that is how he was taught, then I say let him do the motion if he chooses. If you want to criticize someone, criticize the teacher, not the student.
I was always taught it's catching a staff, but that never made any sense. The attacker would have to be holding the staff upright & smacking you with it as if he were opening a door in your face.
@mkrawec On the u-shaped grasp, we were taught that you're not grabbing a staff that's striking, but grabbing the staff between strikes. If you watch someone attack with a staff, it often comes to vertical between attacks. That also explains why you have to cover ground with the sitting stance (or fixed stance in Joon-gun): the opponent is not stepping toward you in attack.
@Guydabest It is a a trap and strike at the same time much like the move at 0.27 which is a trap and strike to the knee. Imagine performing a hammer fist strike to the side of the knee (or any target) whilst pushing the target from the other side.
he is doing it the wrong speed and chambering for almost the entire pattern. who the hell taught this to him? if he is a 5th degree he needs to start over.
He's so focused on his opponents, that I could sneak behind him and kick him. "And it doesn't hurt that it's prearranged" Yay 36 movements, wish Me luck.
Great job in this poom-se, but You always do great.
For all you critics out there find another video to watch! This guy is cool enough to take the time to post his patterns on here for us to see. They are his paterns from his style taught by his teacher. If you are using these as references then you should know if your style has any slight variations or not. Stop with the negativity. Shame on you who practice tkd like myself. Go back to your tennants and learn them again....The 1st is "courtesy". Jaroslaw, thank you, Randy
@jetskirandyx Years ago, we had a great training seminar with this guy in Newcastle. He worked us so hard that the sweat was making the colour from people's belts run into their doboks.
two separate punches downward to strike a kicking leg with reaction hand moving in opposite direction for power, twin inner forearm block blocking attacks from both sides, pulling the fist into the hip doing an elbow strike to the back with reaction hand on forefist, punching to the front with reaction hand placed on arm, elbow strike to the other side with reaction hand placed, double punch to the side; one hitting a nearer opponent and one slightly further away, inward low block with...
It's embarrassing seeing some of the negative comments on this video. Do these people think anyone takes them seriously. For any negative posters, please post a video of you showing us how it should be done.
This is an excellent example of this pattern, for an equally excellent but different version, do a search for Ray Smeathers Po-Eun.
Do bot compare the 2 styles, they are meant to be different.
Reposted due to unfair spam reporting, seems like I must have upset the negative posters.

Don't bother telling me that one is better than the other, they are different styles so should not be compared.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what is wrong with you people this is rubbish. He is supposed to be a 5th dan black belt. Looks more like a green belt to me if you compare him to some of the people that i train with
i'm a first dan at the moment, so this video has helped me learn pe-eun, since i can watch it halfway through to get the mirror image for the first half and the start until the middle for the mirror image of the second part :) thanks!
ok for u guys who dont know, the patterns are taken from the encyclopedia of taekwon do and it is said that in po- eun the movements are suppose to be slow motion with a long breathe many people dont read the encyclopedia and thats y they do their patterns a certain way dont get me wrong he good but the pattern specifically calls for slow motion
sry i dont take taekwon do thats y i know about the fucking encyclopedia!!!(sarcasm) gereral choi hong hi created the EOTKD in order to teach how each movement is be done with how many degrees, to what motion, etc. FYI i do take TKD (ITF) location: G street, Philadelphia PA
Sorry about the double post. There might be some truth to this sign wave thing, although I think it should be a brachystochrone shape, but I would get very annoyed if I was told I were doing a sine wave instead of a brachystochrone (they are similar). If you start a strike high and finish on the horizontal, then you are accelerating upwards towards the end of your strike, giving you more purchase on the ground and more power. Pity that this makes you less stable before the strike.
Ahaha, I'm trying to at least learn the patterns I should know before getting back into tae kwon do, and happened to pick this guy to watch for do-san, then i opened the rest in order, but at about the same time, so it sounded like a whole bunch of clicks :P. Man, I have a lot of training to do if I'm ever gonna even compare to this guy... *disappears, off to train*
I don't think the sine wave gives you power. If anything it telegraphs your movements. Take a look at a good Okinawan stylist performing Niahanchi. The concept of Po-Eun is the same as Niahanchi.....POWER! Proper use of hips, tension, focus, breathing, and control result in powerful techniques and a powerful form.
i just watched niahanchi shodan, you know what i saw? sinewave:O:O !!!! there is a little of it you almost cant see it, i never thought to see sinewave in karate but they automaickly use it withouy even knowing it, and thats another point that choi hong hi produce in tkd that is better then how its used in karate
This shouldn't be a discussion about whether the sine wave is good/not. It should be a discussion about the quality of the form and his technique ( the sine wave is only a small part ). He is obviously very very good and has excellent technique, and I'm sure he still would have excellent technique if he wasn't doing the sine wave.
My school doesn't do the sine wave, so honestly it looks somewhat strange at first, but it quickly becomes obvious how good this guy is, sine wave or not.
In tae kwon do, it is called a sitting stance, or annun sogi. The up and down motion is a way of generating extra power thru sine waves. We use sine waves a lot in tae kwon do. I am learning this tul, now. Very tricky.
I know, but i consider it the same as many here (breaking the ground connection) and to me it's just adding your weight on a downwards motion, I could understand it in sparring but it looks bad in a kata form (to me) :) x
The hyung was technically good but, sinewave is garbage. You constantly break your connection to your power source which is the ground.With the older Karate style foot you don't have this problem.
The problem with sine wave is the fact that gravity does very little to add power to technique. I prefer the older method because I dont break my connection with the ground. In this way power travels where directed.
well, as i understand the reason behind the sine wave is that it provides more power to the form. i agree with you that technique is very important and should not be left behind. what i argue is the need to include the sine wave (as a technique) in order to get more power.
The guy in the links you are refering to, is clearly a verry good Kata-performer!! It's the same way in every style, some has less power, other has great power. Some are great, others are ok:) If you search for these pattern on youtube, you will find very pore examples, and great performers:)
the traditional way is similar to karate forms, i dont have videos showing the old way but you can compare this karate /watch?v=L8ZhBSiBIv0 with his dan-gun /watch?v=nCkRKrSFi70 (both are yellow belt forms in their own style) then let me know which one looks more powerful.
that's sine wave... i don't like it, i practice the traditional way of forms. sine way supposely gives more power because of gravity, if we get into mathematics i think it makes you loose momentum and it makes us slower. notice how slow they move from one step to the next when they go up. in the old way you have to move your feet faster without stoping in the middle.
These videos are great. I'm currently preparing for my black belt test (1st dan) after taking a few years off for college, so I've got to relearn all the forms again. My school follows the UWTA system, so there are some stylistic variations, but he does everything so cleanly that they're still excellent for learning.

For all you critics out there find another video to watch! This guy is cool enough to take the time to post his patterns on here for us to see. They are his paterns from his style taught by his teacher. If you are using these as references then you should know if your style has any slight variations or not. Stop with the negativity. Shame on you who practice tkd like myself. Go back to your tennants and learn them again....The 1st is "courtesy". Jaroslaw, thank you, Randy

It's embarrassing seeing some of the negative comments on this video. Do these people think anyone takes them seriously. For any negative posters, please post a video of you showing us how it should be done.
This is an excellent example of this pattern, for an equally excellent but different version, do a search for Ray Smeathers Po-Eun.
Do bot compare the 2 styles, they are meant to be different.

It's been quite a while, yes, but why should it be chanced?
Even if the styles chance, the world doesn't.
Or at least it hasn't since General's time.
The idea of tkd, which is summarised in tkd oath, is IMHO rather respectable.
(Or well, the last two sentences.)
I think, even if one has no further values, that is something worth following.
7Christabel7 3 years ago
The basic idea of tkd is to not "kick one's ass", we're supposed to avoid fights..
That's said in the taekwon-do oath too, u know.
And why would u kick his ass because u didn't know what is the ensyclopedia of tkd?

ok for u guys who dont know, the patterns are taken from the encyclopedia of taekwon do and it is said that in po- eun the movements are suppose to be slow motion with a long breathe many people dont read the encyclopedia and thats y they do their patterns a certain way dont get me wrong he good but the pattern specifically calls for slow motion

Sorry about the double post. There might be some truth to this sign wave thing, although I think it should be a brachystochrone shape, but I would get very annoyed if I was told I were doing a sine wave instead of a brachystochrone (they are similar). If you start a strike high and finish on the horizontal, then you are accelerating upwards towards the end of your strike, giving you more purchase on the ground and more power. Pity that this makes you less stable before the strike.
hainsay62 3 years ago
Ahaha, I'm trying to at least learn the patterns I should know before getting back into tae kwon do, and happened to pick this guy to watch for do-san, then i opened the rest in order, but at about the same time, so it sounded like a whole bunch of clicks :P. Man, I have a lot of training to do if I'm ever gonna even compare to this guy... *disappears, off to train*
hainsay62 3 years ago
I don't think the sine wave gives you power. If anything it telegraphs your movements. Take a look at a good Okinawan stylist performing Niahanchi. The concept of Po-Eun is the same as Niahanchi.....POWER! Proper use of hips, tension, focus, breathing, and control result in powerful techniques and a powerful form.
jamesb2410 3 years ago
i just watched niahanchi shodan, you know what i saw? sinewave:O:O !!!! there is a little of it you almost cant see it, i never thought to see sinewave in karate but they automaickly use it withouy even knowing it, and thats another point that choi hong hi produce in tkd that is better then how its used in karate

This shouldn't be a discussion about whether the sine wave is good/not. It should be a discussion about the quality of the form and his technique ( the sine wave is only a small part ). He is obviously very very good and has excellent technique, and I'm sure he still would have excellent technique if he wasn't doing the sine wave.
My school doesn't do the sine wave, so honestly it looks somewhat strange at first, but it quickly becomes obvious how good this guy is, sine wave or not.

Just commenting to say, awesome horse riding stances (shame the up and down makes them look a bit peculiar) :)
Mangafairy 3 years ago
In tae kwon do, it is called a sitting stance, or annun sogi. The up and down motion is a way of generating extra power thru sine waves. We use sine waves a lot in tae kwon do. I am learning this tul, now. Very tricky.
WolvoExPunk 3 years ago
I know, but i consider it the same as many here (breaking the ground connection) and to me it's just adding your weight on a downwards motion, I could understand it in sparring but it looks bad in a kata form (to me) :) x
Mangafairy 3 years ago
The hyung was technically good but, sinewave is garbage. You constantly break your connection to your power source which is the ground.With the older Karate style foot you don't have this problem.
justin811j 3 years ago
I wouldn't call it 'garbage' but I agree with you with the power break.
hgratp 3 years ago
this isnt karate, its tae kwon do
mrrightnow9 3 years ago
The problem with sine wave is the fact that gravity does very little to add power to technique. I prefer the older method because I dont break my connection with the ground. In this way power travels where directed.
justin811j 3 years ago 2
well, as i understand the reason behind the sine wave is that it provides more power to the form. i agree with you that technique is very important and should not be left behind. what i argue is the need to include the sine wave (as a technique) in order to get more power.
hgratp 3 years ago
The guy in the links you are refering to, is clearly a verry good Kata-performer!! It's the same way in every style, some has less power, other has great power. Some are great, others are ok:) If you search for these pattern on youtube, you will find very pore examples, and great performers:)

the traditional way is similar to karate forms, i dont have videos showing the old way but you can compare this karate /watch?v=L8ZhBSiBIv0 with his dan-gun /watch?v=nCkRKrSFi70 (both are yellow belt forms in their own style) then let me know which one looks more powerful.
hgratp 3 years ago
The patterns aren't always meant to express power. TKD is more about technique than power. With technique comes power is what I've been taught.

This whole form is supposed to be done in like 20 seconds. He looks kind of bouncy in his stances and the kicks are low.
tyqndo42 3 years ago
This is the way the pattern shal be performed as in ITF Taekwon-Do. Made by the late General Choi Hong Hi 9.Dan.
The kick is a pressing kick, and supposed to be low, to block a incomming frontkick.
trulshotvedt 3 years ago
20 seconds? Never heard that before. And the kicks are meant to be low.
spikeyadam 3 years ago
that's sine wave... i don't like it, i practice the traditional way of forms. sine way supposely gives more power because of gravity, if we get into mathematics i think it makes you loose momentum and it makes us slower. notice how slow they move from one step to the next when they go up. in the old way you have to move your feet faster without stoping in the middle.
