NOTE: Our primary discipline at TKA is Tang Soo Do. Our secondary is Tae Kwon Do. All Tang Soo Do Hyung are mandatory. Those Tae Kwon Do Tul that are listed in parenthesis are for reference as to where each TKD form would fall in regular progression. All Tae Kwon Do Tul listed are mandatory for those also seeking rank in Tae Kwon Do. It is recommended that one first achieve their Cho Dan in Tang Soo Do then learn the balance of Tae Kwon Do Tul that have not previously been learned to achieve TKD rank in the interim between TSD Dan exams.
We encourage our students to research and enlighten themselves to the origins, history and meanings of not only our Tang Soo or TaeKwon specific forms and techniques but to the precursors from which much of these styles were derived. FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO DO HISTORY AND ORIGIN RESEARCH FOR BUNKAI / APPLICATIONS, TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE, ETC.: Traditional Tang Soo Do Hyung and their Shotokan Kata originKicho Il Bu Kicho Ee Bu Kicho Sam Bu Pyung Ahn Cho Dan - Heian Shodan Pyung Ahn Ee Dan - Heian Nidan Pyung Ahn Sam Dan - Heian Sandan Pyung Ahn Sa Dan - Heian Yodan Pyung Ahn Oh Dan - Heian Godan Bissai Dae - Bissai Dai Naihanchi Cho Dan - Tekki Shodan Naihanchi Ee Dan - Tekki Nidan Naihanchi Sam dan - Tekki Sandan Sip Soo - Jitte Jin Do - Gankaku Lo Hi (RoHai) - Meikyu Kong San Kun - Kanku Dai Wanshu - Empi Seishan - Hangetsu Ji On - Ji On O Sip Sa Bo - Gojushiho Dai Jin Soo - Chinte When comparing these hyung and kata you will find many contrasts and likenesses. Researching in this manner only provides a deeper understanding of what we do as Tang Soo Karate practitioners and more deeply ingrains in our minds how we should be performing the techniques held within our forms. Happy researching!
