There are A LOT of forms (also called patterns, and in Korean hyeong, teul, or pumsae) in Taekwondo. I write about them a lot in the books that I’ve done and on this website. It can be difficult to remember what they all are, so here’s a big list of all of the forms (that I know about) in every style of Taekwondo (although without duplicates that appear in multiple styles of Taekwondo).
