This page is the second in in a series of videos created by International Referee Raymond Hsu with the assistance of US National Team member and three-time world medalist Master Elva Pai Adams in March 2015 to help educate US athletes on the details of each poomsae. The first set of videos can be found by clicking here. The videos on this page focus on basic movements.

Disclaimer: changes to the WTF rules occur from time to time, so note that these videos were made in March 2015 and should be current to that date. They remain an outstanding resource for all!
