@@ElizabethHatridge-cb9px it is indeed poomsae in Korean, 품새(pumsae) means a systematic series of movement that simulates a real fight. Which people call it "form" in the US, "form" is actually closer to kata(型), kata can also be translated into shape, model. I am glad that you have the enthusiasm for taekwondo, because in todays age there are a lot of people online ruining the reputation for taekwondo by filiming those TikTok videos.
Taegeuk Pal Jang is SO HARD. It was one of the forms I had to do for my 1st Dan black belt test and you have to do it perfect to pass! Even though I did it ‘perfect’, nothing beats hers man.
I'm struggling with Pomsae 2 at the moment, but I think that I'm almost there for Green belt test. Pomsae 3 is already more complicated and complex, we'll see
