Poomsae

Poomse (Patterns)

In taekwondo, a Poomse is a pattern of a series of pre-arranged sequences of attack and defence movements against an imaginary opponent or opponents. They are designed to improve power, accuracy and speed. The patterns are designed to make the movements into reflex actions rather than conscious thought. The patterns also contain hidden information for the more senior or mature students which include vital point attacks and pressure point work.
