Talk:Hyeong

plural
Is pumsae singular or plural? If pumsae is singular, then what is the plural? If pumsae is plural, then what is the singular? -ErinHowarth (talk) 02:29, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * In the Korean language, there is no such distinction between singular and plural; therefore, pumsae is the word used in singular and plural contexts. Luolimao (talk) 13:39, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

title
Why is that pumsae and teul redirect to hyeong? Why doesn't hyeong redirect to teul or pumsae? How was the title of the article chosen. -ErinHowarth (talk) 02:42, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree there should be discussion on the naming. I see the two as completely separate things kukki/wt TKD is not the same as ITF except for the name, so their forms should not be combined under a name that I’m sure most practitioners have not heard of. I think they should have separate pages 20:13, 18 January 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pokeswap (talk • contribs)

Palgwe
The Palgwe forms are certainly not dead and buried. They are in the syllabus of The English Korean Karate Association (EKKA). the forms are also given in Richard Chun's book. The South Koreans might not teach them nowadays, but Taekwondo now is much bigger than South Korea. 86.178.163.150 (talk) 22:34, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Historical Note
Just a note here to the authors "The Kicho hyeong are extremely similar to the Taikyoku kata developed by Gichin Funakoshi. The embusen used are the same, the stances are the Tang Soo Do equivalent, and the blocks and strikes are virtually identical. There is great reason to believe that Hwang Kee based his Korean Kicho hyeong on the Japanese Taikyoku kata developed by Funakoshi."

Hwang Kee at one time openly admitted in publication that he learned the forms taught in TSD from reading Funakoshi's books that he found at the library.

Kodang and Juche
The article refers to Kodang returning to replace Juche in 2008. From what I can gather this is indeed the case of Choi Jung Hwa's ITF orginization. I could as yet not confirm which pattern the ITF orginization formerly led by Trân Triêu Quân does. But in the Chang Ung ITF certainly still does Juche. It might be worthwhile clearing this up in the article and including references to substanciate these claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.211.39.194 (talk) 08:57, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Confusing table
The table is confusing to read. There are various spaces with no text where there should be text, duplications, and unofficial forms listed. Should the spaces be removed either by moving the forms up or by changing the form order? I think it looks bad the way it is currently. Also is the “GTF” list really WP:NOTEWORTHY it seems to be a copy of the ITF and doesn’t seem to add anything here, let alone as a specific style the beginning forms and WT “candidate forms” say even in the table they are non official, so should they even be in the table? I’ll remove the unofficial ones if I don’t hear otherwise in a few weeks, because I don’t think unofficial forms should be in the official list. Pokeswap (talk) 21:24, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
