Color Belt Poomsae (Forms)
Here are instructions for World Taekwondo style color belt forms (1 through 8). Each section includes an instructional video performed by Yusabu Taekwondo Alpharetta's owner and 7th Dan, Grand Master Yu. These videos are intended to show you what your forms should really look like. Every dojo and style may consist of variances that could mean the difference between passing or failing your next belt test. Please refer here, rather than videos you may find on YouTube or elsewhere on the internet so that you can ace your next Yusabu Taekwondo Belt Test!
