Explanation:
I've done Taekwondo for years, since before 품세 (pumse) replaced 형 (hyong) in common use. Whether the Korean term is 품세 or 형, it is ALWAYS rendered "form" in English.

Poomse (POOM-sae):
A pattern of techniques used against an imaginary opponent. In some competitions, an athlete's poomse is scored and specific
moves are required, similar to the compulsory round in figure skating.
