| What is Poomsae? | ||||||
| Poomsae is a series of movements with both offensive and defensive techniques, which can be practised and trained even without the presence of an instructor. Each basic movement within poomsaes have been inherited through a long history of about 2000 years, finally they have become a prophet of scientific technique formulated on a basis of traditional training and practical experiments. It is believed that in ancient times poomsaes were practised among the ruling classes and the first recorded poomsae appeared in the documents and monuments of the first century when Koguryo reined the Han (Korean) race. | ||||||
