Palgwae Poomsae
팔괘 품새
”Pahl-G’weyh Poom-Seyh”
Developed between 1965 and 1967. The original set of patterns used for Geup (Grade) students to advance belts through rank promotion tests.
The committee responsible for the development of these patterns included:
Kwak Gun-Sik of the Chung Do Kwan
Lee Young-Sup of the Song Moo Kwan
Lee Kyo-Yoon of the Han Moo Kwan
Park Man-Hae of the Chung Do Kwan
Hyun Jong-Myun of the Oh Do Kwan
Kim Soon-Bae of the Chang Moo Kwan
The Kukkiwon officially required these forms for advancement from 1967 until 1974 when the Taegeuk Poomsae were also made mandatory.
In 1988 the Kukkiwon stopped requiring these forms in any official capacity though many schools continue using them to this day either as a supplement to or replacement for the Taegeuk set.
The forms are named Il-Jang (Part 1) through Pal-Jang (Part 8) with each form being represented by one of the 8 Trigrams of the I Ching (The Book Of Changes).
