Essential
Information about Patterns
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.
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.
6. Each pattern should be perfected before moving to the next .
7. Students should know the purpose of each movement.
8. Students should perform each movement with realism.
9. Attack and defence techniques should be equally distributed among
right and left hands and feet.
All patterns listed are performed under the assumption the student
is facing "D" (see pattern diagrams). There are a total of
twenty-four patterns in Taekwon-Do. The name of the pattern, the
number of movements, and the diagrammatic symbol of each pattern
symbolize either heroic figures in Korean history or instances
relating to historical events. The interpretation of each pattern
will be found on its specific page.
Since each Pattern has a close relationship with the fundamental
exercise, students should practice the patterns according to the
following graduation to attain the maximum results with the least
effort.
