Pattern Diagram:
 Step-by-Step Description of Movements: The pattern begins when the instructor commands the student to come to attention (cha-ryeot). When given this command, assume an Attention Stance on the X on the AB line, facing D. This
is followed by the instructor stating the pattern that the student will perform (Hwa-Rang teul).
On the command to assume the ready
position (jun-bi), move the left foot to B to form a Close Ready Stance type C toward D. Remain in this close ready stance type C toward D until given the command to begin
the pattern.
When the command to begin the
pattern is given (si-jak), perform the following individual movements in sequence. The pattern should
be performed according to the Guidelines listed in General Choi Hong Hi's Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, and presented in the section on
essential points
