Origin of the poomsae

Once upon a time there was a village called poom and in poom village lived various blocks and preps. In another village called Sae lived various kicks and punches. One day the two villages met and accused each other of stealing each others apples so they started a war. After a very long war, both villages ended up battered and bruised and they decided to become one big city called Poomsae. The kicks, blocks, preps and punches lived happily for a time along with their mayor Kukkiwon. After a while, a tiger entered the city wearing a paper crown. The tiger so loved the city of Poomsae that it decided to share the knowledge with all of its children, the little tigers. The King tiger gave colored belts to the little tigers to see who knew what. The little tigers grew up to be big tigers with black belts, which was the highest color. This caused a cascading effect leading to many more little tigers and many more black belts. That's all for tonight. Keep an eye out for a sequel coming soon.
