What is a poomsae?


Learners of taekwondo begin with white belt (rank in taekwondo) and started to learn white belt's poomsae. Poomsae in taekwondo is a form of steps, combination of basic actions and movements exercises with an imaginary opponent. Through practicing form (poomsae) one can become accurate in both offensive and defensive techniques and other special techniques that cannot be acquired through free sparring like breathing control and how to apply techniques. No matter what level a teakwondo learner will achieve in future , he/she expected to remember all the poomsae. This is the white belt's form. Try it yourself!
