"form" and "shape" are synonyms in the English language.

John is right, but yes, kata and hyung are the same thing. They're both written with the same Chinese character:

形

hyung is the Korean word for "form" like kata is Japanese for "form"

Technically, Kata means 'shape', but I won't be nitpicky.  ;D

Hi Galahad

I don't know if you seen my other post about surgery, but I'm struggling at the moment with a knee problem and waiting for an op. I wouldn't be able to do them justice at the moment.

Is a "hyung" like a kata?

I like Bassai Dai, but I like Tommare Bassai better.

I would have to go with Chil Sung Sam (don't know the Chil Sungs any higher) and Passai.  I would like to learn the higher Chil Sungs but I should probably wait until I get my black belt.  That and the closest person in my federation higherarchy that knows them lives in Arizona.  Gi, can you post a video of you doing them.  I would like to see one that isn't at a competition on youtube.

Any favorite hyungs out there? Mine's probably Bassai/Passai.
