Korean Pronunciation: Seo-San teul Pattern History: Seo-San [西山] is the
pseudonym of the great monk Choi Hyeong-Ung (1520-1604) during the Yi Dynasty. The 72 movements refer to his age when
he organized a corps of monk soldiers with the assistance of his pupil, Sa Myung-Dang. The monk soldiers helped repulse
the Japanese pirates who overran most of the Korean peninsula in 1592.
Number of Movements: 72
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.

command to assume the ready position (jun-bi), move the left foot to B to form a Close Ready Stance type A toward D. Remain in this close ready stance type A toward D until given the command to begin the pattern.

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
