The forms of Taekwondo are also of a symbolic nature.  They are the "art" of Martial Arts, and therefore make up the body of Songahm Taekwondo.  Pictured to the left is the songahm star, which is formed by successively completing the 15 or so forms.  The include Sangahm 1-5, In Wha one and two, Choong Jung one and two, Shim Jun, Jung Yul, and several more advanced forms that are at the time unknown.  Also, the forms are successively longer, ranging from 18 moves to 82.  These forms are completed at testings, one for each belt.  The Black Belt forms are done several times before a promotion, each one with various additions, such as board breaks and sparring.  Each form contains the various techniques that that particular rank is required to know.  All of the forms correspond to a belt, and by looking at the belts link you can count off and find the right one.

		Another form, although slightly different, is the joint locks level 1.  This is done with a partner, and instead of being compromised of basic moves, it is composed of self-defense techniques to, as the name implies, lock the joints and consequently cause a lot of pain.  There are different levels and variations of joint locks, but they are not in a form style, so are not included.
