Some peple do the first going forward section with inward blocks, but others do 2 outward blocks. Which is it?!? Thus videos hows inward and inward, but other videos show outward and outward block. Its frustrating. This grandmaster says one thing others say another....
There's a difference I've noticed in the middle block with this palgwe, The way he is doing in this video is the way I learned it and seems to provide more power or be more practical. The other way: youtube search tae kwondo Palgue Il Jang, is with the middle block coming from under the the other arm instead of up higher next to the head. Does anyone know where this difference originated from and if one way is considered "better" or more "original" than the other?
@rfal502 - I was taught by my Korean master to do the in-out middle block as well. The older martial arts books I have read, also show it this way. I'll ask my master about it and see what he says about why it's different sometimes.
@rfal502 The other way you speak of, the in-to-out middle block, or "from under the arm", is the proper way in this form. That's how the KukKiWon does it. This video is outdated. The KukKiWon is always changing details about the art in order to better it. Some masters aren't in the know with the KukKiWon, and therefore aren't always aware of important changes in the art. That would be why some people do it one way, while others do it another way.
Pal Gwe Pal-Jang. fun form. always one of my favorites, even over Taebaek, Sipjin, etc.
what I was referring to earlier was that the Kyokashinkai Karate founder is a Korean man! Choi changed his name later when he moved back to Japan. he is one of the most respected masters in Asia and in my opinion, he greatly influenced the old Palgwe forms. since Youtube is not a forum, I am not interested in debate. I am just sharing what I have read and believe. All martial arts have some good.
I heard a story a long time ago about how the PGs were the original poomse but when the KTA went to the grade schools, the little children complained about all the super deep long stances and therefore walking stance was created and TGs were made. they are much more simple than PGs. we teach TGs at colored belts and PGs at black belt ranks. PG1-4 at 1st and PG 5-8 at 2nd Dan. it works for us. either way, PGs seem very influenced by shotokan & kyokashinkai karate. see founder for kyokashin!
Please look at your TKD history. The Palgwe forms and the Taeguk forms are identified with the same symbols, I-Ching Trigrams, and meanings. The Palgwe forms were developed in 1967by Kukkiwon and later Taeguk forms were developed by Kukkiwon in 1971. Kukkiwon later indicated the "elimination" of palgwe. I think it is a matter of instructional preferences and organizational affiliation. I think both sets of forms are useful as teaching methods.
Not to disagree but some what true but it does matter if WTF or ITF. If it did not there would not be the two different org. and there would not be about 5 different poom se and the feeling is different for each of them. with good reason
it doesnt matter if it is wtf or itf, tae kwon do is tae kwon do, both palgwes and taeguks are meaningful when you practice them thoroughly, and only when you feeeel the forms you´ll understand this plus you´ll be in excellent shape.
yes i enjoy palgwe forms over tae geuk (robot forms) as well....they flow much better and r more traditional...these videos r very well done and i got no critizism wat so ever 5/5 :D keep it up
well, i think you are wrong, i've been in Korea since 3 years, and i feel that Palgwe is flowless, just a punch of moves that comes into your mind, Taeguks have meaning once you read about it and live it. Moreover, this form is still uncommon among the Kukkiwon schools.
This used to be my yellow belt form as well. I am glad to see WTF schools still teach this in addition to the tae geuk forms (I like these much better)
In my TKD school (Jidokwan) this is our white belt form. Only in our varition, after the two lower blocks and double knifehand middles, we do an outer block. I think it can be either white or yellow belt form, depending on what school you go to.
Yes, a lot of the old masters who traveled to spread the art made slight variations based on what they thought was important, but the basic form should be the same.
What is your belt system and where do you study? Il jang is the first Palgwe form and typically done for the yellow belt/yellow striple (depending on school variation).
it is white, yellow, orange, green, purple, blue . brown, high brown, red high red. deputy black and then 1st dan etc. these are my masters from fort lauderdale .... so yeah...plus u are correct depending on the discipline...also tae gook is also another form style other then palgwe

@MaharlikaAWA The proper block is an in-to-out middle block. That is the way the KukKiWon does it. Can't argue with them. This video is outdated.
