| Hyung (Forms) | ||
| Ancient people had a deep interest in the development of forms as weel as a profound understanding of them. The following is a translation of what is found in the text, Moo Yei Do Bo Tong Ji, author unknown, of the 17th century: | ||
| 'Performing with hands and feet and conditioning of the body is the beginning of the study of the art of Tang Soo Do. In actual combat, form does not seem in an obvious way to be a necessary part of the martial arts. However, practicing forms perfects the ability to perform hand and foot techniques freely. This is fundamental to making the best use of one's body at all times.' | ||
