EXPLANATION OF TENETS
Needless to say, the success or failure of Taekwon-Do training depends
largely on how one observes and implements the tenets of Taekwon-Do which
should serve as a guide for all serious students of the art.
COURTESY (Ye Ui) Taekwon-Do students should attempt to practise the following elements
of courtesy to build up their noble character and to conduct the training in an
orderly manner as well.
1) To promote the spirit of mutual concessions 2) To be ashamed of one’s vices, contempting those of others 3) To be polite to one another 4) To encourage the sense of justice and humanity 5) To distinguish instructor from student, senior from junior, and elder
from younger
6) To behave oneself according to etiquette 7) To respect others’ possesions 8) To handle matters with fairness and sincerity 9) To refrain from giving or accepting any gift when in doubt
10
INTEGRITY (Yom Chi)
In Taekwon-Do, the word integrity assumes a looser definition than the
one usually presented in Webster's dictionary. One must be able to define right
and wrong, and have the conscience, if wrong, to feel guilt. Listed are some
examples, where integrity is lacking:
1. The instructor who misrepresents himself and his art by presenting
improper techniques to his students because of a lack of knowledge or
apathy.
2. The student who misrepresents himself by “fixing” breaking materials
before demonstrations.
3. The instructor who camouflages bad techniques with luxurious
training halls and false flattery to his students.
4. The student who requests rank from an instructor, or attempts to purchase it. 5. The student who gains rank for ego purposes or the feeling of power. 6. The instructor that teaches and promotes his art for materialistic gains. 7. The student whose actions do not live up the words. 8. The student who feels ashamed to seek opinions from his juniors.
PERSEVERANCE (/n Nae)
There is an old Oriental saying, “Patience leads to virtue or merit” “One
can make a peaceful home by being patient for 100 times.” Certainly,
happiness and prosperity are most likely brought to the patient person. To
achieve something, whether it is a higher degree or the perfection of a
technique, one must set his goal, dan constantly persevere. Robert Bruce
learned his lesson of perseverance from the persistant efforts of a lowly spider.
№ was this perseverence and tenacity that finally enabled him to free Scotland
in the fourteenth century. One of the most important secrets in becoming a
leader of Taekwon-Do is to overcome every difficulty by perseverance.
Confucious said; “опе who is impatient in trivial matters can seldom
achieve success in matters of great importance.”
11
SELF-CONTROL (Guk Gi)
This tenet is extremely important inside and
outside the do jang, whether conducting oneself in
free sparring or in one’s personal affairs. A loss of self-
control in free sparring can prove disasterous to both
student and opponent. An inability to live and work
within one’s capability or sphere is also a lack of self-
control.
According to Lao-Tzu “the term of stronger is the
person who wins over oneself rather than someone
else.”
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT (82ekju/ Boolgoo!)
“Here lie 300, who did their duty,” a simple
epitaph for one of the greatest acts of courage known
to mankind.
Although facing the superior forces of Xerxes,
Leonidas and his 300 Spartans at Thermopylae
showed the world the meaning of indomitable spirit. It
is shown when a courageous person and his prin-
ciples are pitted against overwhelming odds.
A serious student of Taekwon-Do will at all times
be modest and honest. If confronted with injustice, he
will deal with the belligerent without any fear or
hesitation at all, with indomitable spirit, regardless of
whosoever and however many the number may be.
Confucius declared, “it is an act of cowardice to
fail to speak out against injustice.”
As history has proven those who have pursued
their dreams earnestly and strenuously with indomit-
able spirit have never failed to achieved their goals.

PATTERNS (ui)
The ancient law in the Orient was similar to the law of Hamurabi, “an eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” and was rigorously enforced even if death was
caused accidentally.
In this type of environment, and since the present system of free sparring
had not yet been developed, it was impossible for a student of the martial arts to
practise or test his individual skill of attack and defense against actual moving
opponents.
Individual advancement was certainly hindered until an imaginative
practitioner created the first patterns.
Patterns are various fundamental movements, most of which represent
either attack or defense techniques, set to a fixed and logical sequence.
The student systematically deals with several imaginary opponents under
various assumptions, using every available attacking and blocking tool from
different directions. Thus pattern practice enables the student to go through
many fundamental movements in series, to develop sparring techniques,
improve flexibility of movements, master body shifting, build muscles and
breath control, develop fluid and smooth motions, and gain rythmical
movements.
It also enables a student to acquire certain special techniques which
cannot be obtained from either fundamental exercises or sparring. In short, a
pattern can be compared with a unit tactic or a word, if fundamental movement
is an individual soldier's training or alphabet. Accordingly, pattern, the ledger
of every movement, is a series of sparring, power tests, feats and characteristic
beauty.
Though sparring may merely indicate that an opponent is more or less
advanced, patterns are a more critical barometer in evaluating an individual's
technique.
The following points should be considered while performing patterns: 1. Pattern should begin and end at exactly the same spot. This will indicate the performer's accuracy.
13
2. Correct posture and facing must be maintained at all times.
3. Muscles of the body should be either tensed or relaxed at the proper
critical moments in the exercise.
4. The exercise should be performed in a rhythmic movement with an
absence of stiffness.
5. Movement should be accelerated or decelerated according to the
instructions in this book.
. Each pattern should be perfected before moving to the next.
. Students should know the purpose of each movement.
. Students should perform each movement with realism.
. Attack and defense techniques should be equally distributed among
right and left hands and feet.
con o
All patterns in this book are performed under the assumption the student is
facing ”О” (see pattern diagrams).
There are a total of twenty-four patterns in Taekwon-Do. The reason for 24 Patterns: The life of a human being, perhaps 100 years, can be considered as a day
when compared with eternity. Therefore, we mortals are no more than simple
travellers who pass by the eternal years of an aeon in a day.
It is evident that no one can live more than a limited amount of time.
Nevertheless, most people foolishly enslave themselves to materialism as if
they could live for thousands of years. And some people strive to bequeath a
good spiritual legacy for coming generations, in this way, gaining immortality.
Obviously, the spirit is perpetual while material is not. Therefore, what we can
do to leave behind something for the welfare of mankind is, perhaps, the most
important thing in our lives.
Here | leave Taekwon-Do for mankind as a trace of man of the late 20th
century.
The 24 patterns represent 24 hours, one day, or all my life.

THE INTERPRETATIONS OF PATTERNS
The name of the pattern, the number of movements, and the diagrammatic
symbol of each pattern symbolizes either heroic figures in Korean history or
instances relating to historical events.
CHON-JI:
DAN-GUN:
DO-SAN:
WON-HYO:
YUL-GOK:
JOONG-GUN:
TOI-GYE:
means literally “the Heaven the Earth’. It is, in the Orient,
interpreted as the creation of the world or the beginning of
human history, therefore, it is the initial pattern played by the
beginner. This pattern consists of two similar parts; one to
represent the Heaven and the other the Earth.
is named after the holy Dan-Gun, the legendary founder of
Korea in the year of 2,333 B.C.
is the pseudonym of the patriot Ann Chang-Ho (1876-1938).
The 24 movements represent his entire life which he devoted to
furthering the education of Korea and its independence
movement.
was the noted monk who introduced Buddhism to the Silla
Dynasty in the year of 686 A.D.
is the pseudonym of a great philosopher and scholar \! 1 (1536-
1584) nicknamed the “Confucius of Когеа”. The 38 movements
of this pattern refer to his birthplace on 38° latitude and the
diagram (-t) represents ‘‘scholar’’.
is named after the patriot Ann Joong-Gun who assassinated
Hiro-Bumi Ito, the first Japanese governor-general of Korea,
known as the man who played the leading part in the Korea-
Japan merger. There are 32 movements in this pattern to
represent Mr. Ahn’s age when he was executed at Lui-Shung
prison (1910).
is the pen name of the noted scholar Yi Hwang (16th century),
an authority on neo-Confucianism. The 37 movements of the
pattern refer to his birthplace on 37° latitude, the diagram (++)
represents “scholar”.
15
HWA-RANG:
CHOONG-MOO:
KWANG-GAE:
PO-EUN:
GE-BAEK:
EUI-AM:
is named after the Hwa-Rang youth group which originated in
the Silla Dynasty in the early 7th century. The 29 movements
refer to the 29th Infantry Division, where Taekwon-Do de-
veloped into maturity.
was the name given to the great Admiral Yi Soon-Sin of the Yi
Dynasty. He was reputed to have invented the first armoured
battleship (Kobukson) in 1592, which is said to be the precursor
of the present day submarine. The reason why this pattern ends
with a left hand attack is to symbolize his regrettable death,
having no chance to show his unrestrained potentiality checked
by the forced reservation of his loyalty to the king.
is named after the famous Gwang-Gae-Toh-Wang, the 19th
King of the Koguryo Dynasty, who regained all the lost
territories including the greater part of Manchuria. The diagram
(+) represents the expansion and recovery of lost territory. The
39 movements refer to the first two fiqures of 391 A.D., the year
he came to the throne.
is the pseudonym of a loyal subject Chong Mong-Chu (1400)
who was a famous poet and whose poem “I would not serve а
second master though | might be crucified a hundred times” is
known to every Korean. He was also a pioneer in the field of
physics. The diagram (—) represents his unerring loyalty to the
king and country towards the end of the Koryo Dynasty.
is named after Ge-Baek, a great general in the Baek Je Dynasty
(660 A.D.). The diagram (|) represents his severe and strict
military discipline.
is the pseudonym of Son Byong Hi, leader of the Korean
independence movement on March 1, 1919. The 45 movements
refer to his age when he changed the name of Dong Hak
(Oriental Culture) to Chondo Kyo (Heavenly Way Religion) in
1905. The diagram (1) represents his indomitable spirit, dis-
played while dedicating himself to the prosperity of his nation.
CHOONG-JANG is the pseudonym given to General Kim Duk Ryang who lived

during the Yi Dynasty, 14th century. This pattern ends with a
left-hand attack to symbolize the tragedy of his death at 27 in
prison before he was able to reach full maturity.
is a philosophical idea that man is the master of everything and
decides everything, in other words, the idea that man is the
master of the world and his own destiny. It is said that this idea
was rooted in Baekdu Mountain which symbolizes the spirit of
the Korean people. The diagram (Ш) represents Baekdu
Mountain.
denotes the historical date of the independence movement of
Korea which began throughout the country on March 1, 1919.
The 33 movements in the pattern stand for the 33 patriots who
planned the movement.
is named after General Kim Yoo Sin, a commanding general
during the Silla Dynasty. The 68 movements refer to the last two
figures of 668 A.D., the year Korea was united. The ready
posture signifies a sword drawn on the right rather than left side,
symbolizing Yoo Sin’s mistake of following his king’s orders to
fight with foreign forces against his own nation.
is named after General Choi Yong, Premier and Commander-in-
Chief of the Armed forces during the 14th century Koryo
Dynasty. Choi Yong was greatly respected for his loyalty,
patriotism, and humility. He was executed by his subordinate
commanders headed by General Yi Sung Gae, who later
become the first king of the Yi Dynasty.
is named after a famous general during the Koguryo Dynasty,
Yon Gae Somoon. The 49 movements refer to the last two
figures of 649 A.D., the year he forced the Tang Dynasty to quit
Korea after destroying nearly 300,000 of their troops at Ansi
Sung.
17
UL-JI:
MOON-MOO:
SO-SAN:
SE-JONG:
TONG-IL:
is named after general Ul-Ji Moon Dok who successfully
defended Korea against a Tang's invasion force of nearly one
million soldiers led by Yang Je in 612 A.D., Ul-Ji employing hit
and run guerilla tactics, was able to decimate a large percentage
of the force. The diagram (|) represents his surname. The 42
movements represents the author's age when he designed the
pattern.
honors the 30th king of the Silla Dynasty. His body was buried
near Dae Wang Am (Great King’s Rock). According to his will,
the body was placed in the sea “Where my soul shall forever
defend my land against the Japanese.” It is said that the Sok Gul
Am (Stone Cave) was built to guard his tomb. The Sok Gul Am
is a fine example of the culture of the Silla Dynasty. The 61
movements in this pattern symbolize the last two figures of 661
A.D. when Moon Moo came to the throne.
is the pseudonym of the great monk Choi Hyong Ung (1520-
1604) during the Yi Dynasty. The 72 movements refer to his age
when he organized a corps of monk soldiers with the assistance
of his pupil Sa Myung Dang. The monk soldiers helped repulse
the Japanese pirates who overran most of the Korean peninsula
in 1592.
is named after the greatest Korean king, Se-Jong, who invented
the Korean alphabet in 1443, and was also a noted meteorol-
ogist. The diagram (3) represents the king, while the 24
movements refer to the 24 letters of the Korean alphabet.
denotes the resolution of the unification of Korea which has
been divided since 1945. The diagram (I) symbolizes the
homogenous race.
Since each pattern has a close relationship with the fundamental excercise,
students, therefore, should practice the patterns according to the following
graduation to attain the maximum results with the least effort.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this volume is to teach the beginner students (10th grade
to 7th grade) to perform their patterns with effective technique and realistic
feeling. The student is, therefore, advised to pay special attention to the correct
execution and application of each movement before he attempts to practise his
pattern,
Obviously, the pattern cannot be performed correctly without sufficient
knowledge of the fundamental movements involved. The student should refer
to the relevant volume in this encyclopedia for more detailed information on
each motion. This book is also strongly recommended as a review for all levels
advanced beyond this stage.
The illustrations for all 24 of the patterns contained in this encyclopedia
assume that the student is standing on line AB and facing D.
