What is the Poomsae program?

The Poomsae (Patterns) program is a specialised class where students learn the Taeguk Patterns. These patterns are a part of traditional Taekwondo and are usually learnt when students join the Teens & Adults program. The patterns are a series of kicks, strikes and blocks that students must memorise and perform in the correct order.

Benefits of the Poomsae program

Through the Poomsae program, students improve their memory skills and concentration. As the patterns are generally almost twenty steps, students must remember and perform the
pattern to the best of their ability. Not only do students improve their memory, their technique improves through the Poomsae program, as they drill and perfect their movements.

Younger students that join the Poomsae program also have a head start on learning these patterns that they will learn in the Teens & Adults program!

Are there competitions for Poomsae?

Yes! We have many competitors that compete in Poomsae competitions where they are judged by a panel for their accuracy, power and speed of their patterns.
