About the forms

Taegeuk forms 1 to 8 are the color-belt forms in Kukkiwon schools, and the Yudanja series of nine forms follows for black belts. The ITF teaches patterns, called tul, with the sine wave motion. See the full lists in belt requirements by style. ATA schools use their own Songahm forms, which this finder does not cover.
