abstract:The Korean terms hyeong, pumsae and teul (meaning "form" or "pattern") are all used to refer to martial arts forms that are typically used in Korean martial arts such as Taekwondo and Tang Soo Do. In non-martial terms, hyung (형) can mean "big brother," but this is fundamentally distinct from hyeong (形).
The whole technical kit-and-caboodle can be found in a paper by Dae-Hyeong Kim of the University of Illinois and colleagues in the most recent issue of Science.
