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 (Do-San 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.
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
