Here's a nice clip showing an old taekkyon form. It is performed by Jeong Kyong-hwa.
Some (mostly TKD people) claim taekkyon is "an old form of taekwondo".
The taekkyon practitioners on the other hand, claim that their art is anything but TKD.
Still, some similarities will be found, at least to an untrained eye as far as the forms go. The fighting/competition is quite easily distinguishable.
You can download or watch the clip here (35.40MB, asf format).
