Four-Direction PunchStep-by-Step Description of Movements:
The fundamental pattern exercise 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 fundamental pattern exercise that the student will perform
(o-reun Sa-ju Jji-reu-gi).
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
fundamental pattern exercise.
When the command to begin the exercise is
given (si-jak), perform the following individual movements in sequence. The exercise
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 in performing patterns.
1. Move the right foot forward to D to form a right walking stance toward D, while executing
(full facing) a middle front punch to D with the right forefist.
2. Pull the right foot toward the left foot. Then, while pivoting on the ball of the left foot and turning counterclockwise, move the right foot backward to
A to form a left walking stance toward B, while executing
(half facing) a low block to B with the left outer forearm.
