teambaramui. Classical tae kwon do & "traditional tae kwon do" aren't necessarily the same thing. If you ask many instructors what the purpose of forms are you will find that many don't know. I started my training in the modern (olympic) style of tkd. Once I was exposed to instructors that understood that forms weren't just dances for promotion (like they seem to be in some schools) I switched to the older Moo Duk Kwan style of TKD.

Tae Kwon Do Hyungs are different but, the basics are the same. Hyungs were originally designed to be functional. I'm aware that TKD was named in the 1950's by Gen. Choi but, the techniques clearly reflect it's Karate roots. The high circular kicks give it a distinct Korean flavor. The modern forms tend to reflect flash over function these days.

@42Cleve whats classical when Traditional taekwondo was established in 1950's, its a new art and so the forms should represent it, Hanryu form does the job well.

this website. first one hanryu, second one bi gak.

both of them are new ones, think was in 2007

Forms shouldn't be about flash. This is good for demos but, the moves of the classical forms have more of a purpose.
