Poomsae Mistakes You NEED to Know | Poomsae with Master AJ 

In competition poomsae, obvious lacking of "zanshin" (concentration and focus that is), could get you a "kyong-yo" (warning). Repeated ignorances of zanshin in your poomsae could even get you a "gam-jean" (penalty point). Get too many gam-jeans, and you are disqualified. So to avoid trouble, keep your zanshin at all times at the start of the poomsae (especially when you chumbi at the start) and the end (when you do chumbi again after you do your form). On the last chumbi, hold for 3 seconds at least and then you do "baro" (relax). Not until then! Remember - the judges and ref are watching your poomsae so first impressions are important - and good zanshin gives you a good impression overall in your form. Also - even when you are told by your referee to do your poomsae "gibon oppshi" (at your cadence), try to avoid stalling purposely in the middle of your poomsae. If you stall, tell the ref that you had a memory break. The ref might allow you to do it again, and if you are allowed to, don't do the stalling again. If you stall again, you will not be allowed to finish your poomsae, and you will fail your poomsae by default for failure to complete it--and this can lead to either a kyong-yo or a gam jean as well. Hope this helps.

is it keumgang it doesnt have any kicks

Keumgang is the poomsae without ap chagui

Great points!!

Keumgang

Thank you so much for these tips!! Been trying to find videos everywhere on how to improve when it comes to forms so thank you for this :)

Yesterday was my poomsae competition andI won gold medel because of you Thank you sister ☺️

Thanks sabumnim

Strange, about the front leg. I do shotokan karate and Taekwondo, and in karate you keep the grounded leg bent when you kick so that your stance does not change height.

hahahahaha bloopers was fun!!!!

Mistress or Master? 😅

Hi, l am 60+, trying to do high kick, but unable, can help me to improve

Thanks for share

Poomsae 4 doesnt have front kick 😆

Keumgang is a poomsae which doesn't have any front kick.....

Just stumbled onto you channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Being involved in this sport with my son and competing in the USAT What you really learn is TKD is a very selfish sport when it comes to learning poomsae. Sadly most dojang’s only want to make money and not develop some athletes that show potential unless you want to pay for extra training, and even the extra training isn’t high level. Kinda sad to see you can learn more from RU-vid then at the dojang! Lol

There are exceptions to the "no heel lifting" rule in poomsae. One poomsae involves a cat stance where the front heel of the front leg needs to come up.

This video was seriously made for me!!! Thank you so much!

Keumgam no front kick and no kicks
