What's your favourite form for teaching applications?

I teach applications based on the level the student is at and below. For example, a green belt will practice apps from won-hyo downwards, a BB from the 3 BB patterns downwards.

I dont have a favorite, though I do favour certain applications contained within them over others when teaching groups.

I Use Chil Sung Ee Ro Hyung for application.

I've amended the Hyung too. We got some serious stand up Grappling on the application as well as some really good throws and strikeing going on. I think when the new mats come I'll recoord it for Youtube and add the link here.

Thanks

My favorite form is Taegeuk il Jang. The reasons are

• It is the first form taught in "Kukki" taekwondo, so everyone knows its motions and sequences.
• Since it is the first form it is almost always looked at as a basic form (learn and forget). The introduction of arm locks, and for arm smashes etc in such a basic form is an eye opener for most of the students.
• It is a "basic" form and as such only includes techniques relying on gross motor skills wich is good for self defence.
• The techniques are easy to learn and the principals the techniques rely on can be used to make new techniques while still adhering to the form.

The last point also shows the difference betwen old style training (1 to 3 forms but deep study) to modern training (many forms and narrow study).
