North Florida Martial Arts follows the ITF patterns along with some TaeGeuk patterns at the novice/advanced level.  The ITF has 24 patterns representing the 24 hours of the day, or the whole of a person's life.  There are 10 patterns reaching the first degree black belt.  These ten patterns allows the to move from "beginner" student to a "novice" student.(UNTA)

Each belt color has a meaning and significance in the students training.  When all colors, white through black stripe, are combined, the black belt is produced representing the combined knowledge of the lower levels in your training(UNTA).

The poomse is a line of movements based on the traditional ideas involved in the name of each Poomse. Practitioners can learn defensive and offensive techniques against an imaginary opponent through practice of Poomse from easy to complex patterns.

Through practicing Taekwondo Poomse, we can apply the techniques of the hand and foot, and the changes of stances, learned from the basic techniques, adaptable to an actual fight. It also provides us with the effects of improving flexibility of body and being skilled in strength control, balance control, breath control, eye control and concentration of spirit, as well as cultivating martial art spirit through its mental discipline.
