A pattern gives practice a purpose
A sequence gives a student something recognisable to return to. They can work on one movement and then put it back into the whole pattern.
For a new learner, ask how patterns are introduced in General training. If your child already trains, share their belt and experience when asking about the next step.
One person, a pair or a team
Poomsae competition includes individual, pair and team categories. In pairs and teams, athletes perform together; the result belongs to everyone named in that entry.
Sara Yap Khim Wen, Jin Kun and Kok Jun Ee have represented Malaysia in Poomsae. Their stories include shared team preparation, SEA Games medals and Sara’s Asian Games bronze.
Ask where your child could begin
You can be interested in patterns without choosing a competition goal. Tell WTA about your child’s training and ask about a suitable starting point.
