Abstract

The study employed conventional research methods in the field of physical education and sports to evaluate the effectiveness of six Poomsae application techniques from Taekwondo Poomsae 1 and 2 when applied in extracurricular activities at Bong Sao Primary School. The results showed improvements in motor ability, development of physical fitness qualities, and enhanced self-discipline and activeness. In particular, the techniques helped students acquire basic self-defense skills. The six application techniques initially met the requirements of assessment and were proven to be appropriate and feasible in practice.
