This form is a traditional taekwondo form, meaning it pre-dates contemporary forms (such as those used by the ITF, ATA, and WT). In other words, this is a form used during the 1950s within the Nine Kwans that eventually came together to form taekwondo.
- Older forms such as this one were often based on forms from other martial arts.
- The details and names of these older forms tend to vary more widely from school to school as well.
The version shown here is just one version; the reader should recognize that there will be variations among schools.
The phrase Yook Ro (or Yuk Ro) means "six-fold path" (or roads). The six Yook Ro taekwondo forms were derived from the Muye Dobo Tongji, an ancient Korean combat text, by Hwang Kee. (See reference.) The text itself does not completely describe these forms; rather, Kee expanded upon the information in the text to create each of these traditional taekwondo forms.
