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 (Jung-Geun teul).
On the command to assume the ready position
(jun-bi), move the left foot to B to form a Close Ready Stance type B toward D. Remain in this close ready stance
type B 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 in performing patterns. 1. Move the left foot to B to
form a right L-stance toward B, while executing (half facing)
a middle side block to B with the left reverse knifehand.
2.
Execute
a low side front kick to B with the ball of the left foot, keeping the position
of the hands as they were in move 1 above (a block with the
left reverse knifehand).
3. Lower the ball of the left foot to B. Then,
while pivoting on the ball of the left foot, move
the right foot to B to form a left rear foot stance toward B, while executing (half
facing)
an upward block to B with the right palm.
4.
