Korean Pronunciation: Po-Eun teul Pattern History: Po-Eun [圃隱] is the
pseudonym of a loyal subject Jeong Mong-Ju (1400), who was a famous poet and whose poem, "I would not serve a second
master though I might be crucified a hundred times," is known to every Korean. He was also a pioneer in the field
of physics. The diagram (一) represents his
unerring loyalty to the king and country towards the end of the Goryeo Dynasty.
Number of Movements: 36 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 (Po-Eun teul).
On the command to assume the ready position (jun-bi), move the left foot to B to form a Parallel Stance with a Heaven Hand toward D. Remain in this parallel stance with a heaven hand toward D until given the
command to begin the pattern.
