Events in day two (2) consisted of more interpretation of the Poomsae
rules. We also covered basic movement pertinent to each Poomsae. The attending
participants were divided into the two groups.
1) Refresher
2) Seminar
The refresher participants were taken through practice involving the use
of the new electronic scoring system. The seminar participants were taken
through a practical session on basic Poomsae techniques. Throughout the
afternoon proceedings, the two (2) groups changed over roles.
Australians with Master Lee Chong Kwan
In order to practice on the use of the scoring system, we were required
to physically perform the Poomsae. When compared to other international
participants, the standards of the Australian participants in Poomsae
technique and movements were of extreme high quality. Our scores were
consistent and constantly higher than those of other countries that were
requested to perform Poomsae. In addition, our understanding of the rules
and application of the scoring system was also of a very high standard.
End of the second day the Australians regrouped to discuss the day’s
events and review and revolve outstanding problems. The WTF and Kukkiwon
called all the 9th Dan Master Instructors for a meeting. Our own Master
Cho and Master Lee attended the restricted meeting in an attempt to
resolve some of the inconstancies that were becoming apparent during the
seminar. Master Kang had been very pro-active during the day, presenting
Australia’s point of view to the Officials and reporting back to
the Australian Team the outcome.

On the timetable for day 3 were:
1) Poomsae Practice
2) Poomsae Scoring System Practice
In two separate groups, the refresher participants were given a practical
session on Poomsae, while the seminar participants were given more practice
on the scoring system. Towards the afternoon, the groups once again changed
role. All the practical sessions were taken by Master Lee Kyu Hyun with
Kukkiwon Poomsae Instructors giving individual assistance where and when
needed. As usual the Australians from the Technical Board congregated
to discuss the day’s progress. Participants from other countries
commented on the commitment and dedication shown by the Australians. Other
coaches were not as involved or as willing to assist the enthusiastic
Master Kang.
The fourth and final day was reserved for the seminar testing
and examination. The refresher participants tests involved the accurate
application of the rules and use of the electronic scoring system. The
Poomsae seminar participated in the testing of Poomsae movements, Poomsae
scoring and application of the rules, use of the electronic scoring system
and a written exam in either English or Korean. The top 35 test results
for the would be invited to attend the World Championships for Poomsae.
The test consisted of judging 5 Poomsae and getting a score +/- 0.4 of
the officials.
In the morning of day four (4) Dr. Chou, WTF President made a guest attendance
at the seminar. A photo session was arranged by the officials in which
everybody participated. The result of this seminar for Australia was extremely
positive. Qualified Australian International Poomsae Referees are as follows.

After registration the two (2) day seminar began with Poomsae detail
and movement through the Taegeuk forms. The practical sessions was taken
by Master Kim. The afternoon session was spent going over Poomsae rules
and scoring applicable to competition. The Australians continued well
into the night discussing Poomsae in relation to the World Championships,
discussing the Australian Poomsae players now training for the Championships
with Master Kang. We spent time going over their individual techniques
lead by Master Kang, working on continual improvement within the scope
of the new scoring system.
On day 2, we covered more Poomsae rules and basic technique, working though
the Poomsae from Koryo to Hansu.
Master Kang (Poomsae Head Coach) and Anne Povh ( Poomsae Team Manager) took time to visit the venue for the 1st World Poomsae Championships
In Conclusion
Our recommendation for the Technical Board.
1. Nationals – 2006
For the National Competition in September 2006, we recommend the Technical
Board use the current scoring system for the following reasons:
1. There is not enough time to instruct and update judges on applying
the new system (manual).
2. There are still inconstancies with the scoring system, which will only
become more evident at the World Championships.
3. There will be inconsistent techniques that will be allowed to be done
in two ways for the World Championships, because decisions could not be
made at this point to which should be correct. These points will be resolved
and presented in courses following the World Championships. Master Kang
will follow up on these following the World Championships so that courses
conducted in Australia leave no doubt as to the accuracy of what must
be done.
We recommend that Australia rapidly adopt the current system and capitalize
on the experience gained at the 1st World Poomsae Championships to professionally
implement the new scoring system. The method of achieving this is through
seminars organized by the National Technical Board to keep the information
consistent and to avoid any miss interpretation or understanding. We further
recommend that at the National Championships 2006 the Technical Board
introduces the new system, by way of a demonstration using National Team
Members to perform Poomsae.
The newly accredited Poomsae Referees will adjudicate on the performance
and will be supported by other Technical Directors present on the day.
A vocal explanation will need to be given to instructors, participants
and the audience of the new system, which will be adopted and bring into
play in Australia starting in 2007 under the guidance of the National
Technical Board.
We also recommend that all future Poomsae Seminars and Poomsae Judging
Seminars that are conducted in each State and Territory will need the
approval and sanction of the Technical Board before any Certificates of
Accreditation can be issued.
