taekwondo1-5, Exercise 1: Words for forms

Model answer:

- Hyeong (hyung): usually used in Traditional Taekwondo (1950s-1960s styles).
- Poomsae (pumsae, formerly poomse): officially used by Kukkiwon/WT-style and ATA-style Taekwondo.
- Teul (officially tul): usually used in ITF/Chang Hon-style Taekwondo.
All are equivalent to kata in karate: systematic, prearranged sequences of techniques.

Example of the same term meaning different things: ap seogi is an upright walking stance in Kukkiwon/WT-style, but a long, low front stance in ITF/Chang Hon-style. Different schools may even use the same name for entirely different techniques.
