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 (Gye-Baek teul).
On the command to assume the
ready position (jun-bi), move the left foot to B to form a Parallel Ready Stance toward D. Remain in this parallel ready stance toward D until given the command to begin the pattern.
