Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan Hyung Pyong An 5 Half Speed

[Tigerpaws9097826]

I'm far from expert in my knowledge of Tae Kwon Do, but based on what I've been able to glean, this form compares very well in terms of potential applications to other TKD styles; I see both offense and defense embodied in the various movements, which isn't what I've consistently observed in TKD forms up to now. Chung Do Kwan looks like it has a lot to recommend it!

Good God... How can anyone claim to be a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and not know the Pyong Ahn Series? Pyong Ahn is one of the greatest sets of forms out there and when taught properly teaches you how to grapple! If only I could find a decent school in Hillsboro OR that actually practiced these forms... :( Alas... I'm stuck with Taeguek and Palgwe... some of the worst forms every created... Make mine Pyong Ahn... I miss having a Chung Do Kwan TKD school to practice at in OR... :(

i'm currently a candiate for a black belt in tae kwon do chung do kwan. I was always taught not to stomp? wh y is this man stomping?

i'm glad to see this up here. chung do kwan is vastly underrepresented in TKD i feel. everything else is all that flashy, spinny sport type stuff. imagine how shocked i was after 9 years of studying chung do kwan and then seeing videos of people on here just trying to 540 spin kick each other in the head and no one is ever blocking (or using their hands at all for that matter)! chung do kwan keeps it real.

Wow, this is amazingly like pinan godan in Okinawan shorin ryu !

[cythericeman]

I've noticed WTA practitioners always have these huge, wide stances. Sure, they look flashy but they aren't structurally stable. Take those front stances, for example. Turn your back foot such that the toes are pointing forward. You can physically feel yourself drop. It's a much stronger stance. It also requires you to not have such a long stance as well.

Esa forma es de cinta morada verdad ...

[golfgrampa]

Very crisp and clean. Thank you very much for taking the time to post instructional video for me to learn from. My wife, 2nd deg. instructor was impressed; said it is exactly the form she teaches

I am not Jeff - my name is John and a student of Jeff's we trained together in Chung Do Kwan in the mid 1980's in Easthampton, MA. I am aware that the Ku Mu series are not Shotokan. Ku Mu stands for Korean Military and this was one of the attempst of Koreans to rid the full Japanese influence out of - Tang So Do - or Tae Kwon Do. I was under the impression that Grand Master Duk Sung Son had part in creating the Ku Mu series. He is still alive and well in New York City (W.T.A)

[Samperor]

Is there any Chung do kwan around in Queens?

[dantyrrell]

@Samperor Yes - the Blue Wave School. You can reach them through the Christ the King Continuing Education program.

[chapellecrumb]

this seems very very similar to Heian Godan of the Shotokan Heian katas. anyone?

[knb416]

TKD's pyong ahn forms are the 5 heian katas. TKD's chul-gi cho-dan and palsek are better known as tekki shodan and bassai dai. TKD's taegeuk chodan is also better known as taikyoku shodan.

Good strong movement but he needs to stop looking down when executing the cross blocks

[maloxman]

This form was done very well! Crisp, strong movements!

[jskroski]

This is form is from the very beggining of chung do kwan from Won Kuk Lee taken from Shotokan Karate. It is practiced in all World Tae Kwon Do Association Schools which I started in one and my instructor is formerly of one Grandmaster Duk Sung Son formerly the head of Chung Do Kwan as appointed by Won Kuk Lee.

[PrairieMartialArts]

Jeff, Nice job on the forms. Good and crisp. One point though, The Kuk Mu series does not find its origins in Shotokan, nor were they taught at the Chung do kwan at it's founding in 1944. I believe the Kuk Mu series was added post 1957 and designed by Jae Bok Chung.

[PrairieMartialArts]

Jeff, I'm so sorry. I thought I was reading and replying to the Kuk Mu video. Please disregard my comment. I have the internet skills of a chimp. :)

[coolleo277]

what about Grand master chung, he's my grandmaster, and the cool thing is that i'm currently praticing pyng on o-don

[dciguy01]

Is this WTF or ITF? I don't recognize the form under WTF poomse...
