According to a press release, the new taekwondo forms was performed by the Korean Tigers Taekwondo Team, the new forms are names Himchari, Sabyeol, Bigak and Nareusya.

The forms were developed to raise the bar on the poomsae standards for the practitioners worldwide. In the new forms, a dynamic mix of sparring, kicking, some old poomsae and demonstration techniques were introduced and developed.

The new forms proved to be challenging not just for the Brunei Darussalam delegates but also from other participants who had to learn in a short period of time the techniques, such as the 540 and 720 degrees kicks, blocking and self-defence techniques.

The new forms will be introduced for competition at the 2018 Asian Games.
