Hi. I have read every issue of Totally Taekwondo Magazine and I have noticed that there are a few who writes about practical applications for the Kukkiwon forms. I was just wondering if any member of this board researches their forms and how they go about extracting their applications?

i found that looking for applications in the forms was needed as there was too much of a sporting influence on a martial art for my taste. In addition i found "kick kick punch punch" explanations quite boring. i wanted something more reality based.
i have mostly done this by looking at how some applications were treated and shown historically, what other arts explanation for similar movements were, and trying it out to make sure it was viable. i have found the Kukkiwon web page explanations worse than useless, almost laughable.
i find that when you dig into a lot of disciplines and you learn to appreciate the subtle, you will find a lot of interesting things.
