Joong Geup Hyung is the Blue Belt form. It is the 3rd form learned according to the curriculum.

The third Kuk Sool Won™ hyung, Joong Geup Hyung means "Middle (or Intermediate) Level Form." In this form the student is introduced to several new striking and kicking techniques (including Sah Mah Gwi Maki, Doh Rah Cha Ki and Jumping Front Kick). This form teaches balance and proper breath control. Despite the form movements creating a 'T' shaped pattern as you trek across the floor, they are repeated all over again (after executing a 180° pivot) to ultimately trace a PLUS (+) shaped pattern instead. Although teaching students at all levels (even beginners) to perform their hyeong facing different compass directions has been the norm for over 2 decades, the traditional method was to always face the 'front' of the class/training area. Thus, it was at the intermediate level where spatial relationships were originally introduced by the execution of the 2nd repeated 'T' shaped section of this form (the start of which is at a 90° offset from the 1st 'T' shaped section).
