Kukkiwon/ WTF-style taekwondo currently uses taegeuk forms (poomse) for color belts (below black belt). Previously however, this "kukki" (national) style of taekwondo used the older palgwae (also spelled palgwe) forms for color belts. These forms are still taught at some schools. The Palgwae forms are still used by many schools, often in conjunction with the Taegeuk forms.

Afterward, the taegeuk forms became the preferred forms (at about the same time as the completion of the Kukkiwon). See Timeline of Taekwondo for additional detail. * One reason sometimes cited for the switch from Palgwae forms to Taegeuk forms is that when the Palgwae forms were first developed in the mid-1960s, not all of the Kwans that would eventually consolidate to form Kukkiwon-style taekwondo were yet members. When the remaining schools (Jidokwan and Moo Duk Kwan) finally joined, the forms were redesigned to create the taegeuk poomsae, with appropriate representation from all of the kwans. * A second reason sometimes cited for the switch is that the taeguek forms introduce earlier the techniques appropriate for sparring (such as upright stances); in other words, the change was made to support the WTF-style emphasis on sport taekwondo rather than on self-defense. The Palgwae forms are still used by many schools, often in conjunction with the Taegeuk forms.
