Team Poomsae

It is not easy for the students to do a team poomsae if they have not had any experience doing it. It also not an easy task since it required synchronization of all the team members. The team need to have some sort of chemistry and understanding of each other movement and timing in order for them to be able to perform the poomsae.

Currently I am working with a few teams and trying to teach them to learn to 'feel ' each others' movements so that they can actually get the timing and synchronization before actually perform the poomsae with power. This take some time but they understand what I'm teaching them and with only one lesson, they are able to get the timing and synchronization. We will then work on the power this coming lesson.

    What is Team Poomsae? How many people appear on a team? Are competitions only open to black belts? Should all members of the team be the same belt rank? Do team members ever perform different forms at the same time?

    Team poomsae is when a poomsae is performed by more than 2 persons, depending on competition the number varies from 3 - 9. Not all competition only open for black belts. Lower rank belts are allow to participate too. Not all members have to be the same belt rank but they all have to perform the same form with synchronisation.
