 EXPLANATION OF TENETS

Needless to say, the success or failure of Taekwon-Do training depends

largely on how one observes and implements the tenets of Taekwon-Do which
should serve as a guide for all serious students of the art.

COU RTESY (Ye Ui)

Taekwon · Do students should attempt to practise the following elements
of courtesy to build up their noble character and to conduct the training in an
orderly manner as well.

1) To promote the spirit of mutual concessions

2) To be ashamed of one's vices, contempting those of others
3) To be polite to one another
4) To encourage the sense of justice and humanity
5) To distinguish instructor from student, senior from junior, and elder
from younger
6) To behave oneself according to etiquette
7) To respect others' possesions
8) To handle matters w ith fairness and sincerity
9) To refrain from giving or accepting any gift when in doubt

10
INTEGRITY (Yom Chi)

In Taekwon- Do, the word integrity assumes a looser definition than the
one usually presented in Webster's dictionary. One must be able to define right
and wrong, and have the conscience, if wrong, to feel guilt. Listed are some
examples, where integrity is lacking:
1. The instructor w ho misrepresents himself and his art by presenting
improper techniques to his students because of a lack of knowledge or
apathy.
2. The student who misrepresents himself by " fixing" breaking materials
before demonstrations.
3. The instructor who camouflages bad techniques with luxurious
trai ning halls and false flattery to his students.
4. The student who requests rank from an instructor, or attempts to
purchase it.
5. The student who gains rank for ego purposes or the feeling of power.
6. The instructor that teaches and promotes his art for materialistic gains.
7. The student whose actions do not live up the words.
8. The student who feels ashamed to seek opinions from his j uniors.

PERSEVERANCE (In Nae)

There is an old Oriental saying, " Patience leads to virtue or merit" "One
can make a peaceful home by being patient for 100 times." Certainly,
happiness and prosperity are most likely brought to the patient person. To
achieve something, whether it is ; ,·higher degree or the perfection of a
technique. one must set his goal, then constantly persevere. Robert Bruce
learned his lesson of perseverance from the persistant efforts of a lowly spider.
lt was this perseverence and tenacity that final ly enabled him to free Scotland
in the fourteenth century. One of the most important secrets in becoming a
leader of Taekwon-Do is to overcome every difficulty by perseverance.
Confucious said; "one who is impatient in trivial matters can seldom
achieve success in matters of great importance."

11
SELF-CONTROL (Guk Gi)

This tenet is extremely important inside and

outside the do jang, whether conducting oneself in
free sparring or in one's personal affairs. A loss of self-
control in free sparring can prove disasterous to both
'
student and opponent. An inability to live and work
within one's capability or sphere is also a lack of self -
control.
According to Lao -Tzu "the term ofstronger is the
person who wins over oneself rather than someone
else...

INDOMITABLE SPIRIT (Baekjul Boolgool)

" Here lie 300. who did their duty... a simple

epitaph for one of the g reatest acts of courage known
to mankind.
Although facing the superior forces of Xerxes,
Leonidas and his 300 Spartans at Thermopylae
showed the world the meaning of indomitable spirit. lt
is shown when a courageous person and his prin-
ciples !Ire pitted against overwhelming odds.
A serious student ofTaekwon -Do w ill at all t imes
be modest and honest.lf confronted with injustice, he
will deal with the belligerent w ithout any fear or
hesitation at all. w ith indomitable spirit. regardless of
whos08ller and however many the number may be.
Confuci us declared. "it is an act of cowardice to "Pursue one's own 10&1..

fail to ~peak out against injustice."

As history has proven those who have pursued
their dreams earnestly and strenuously w ith indomit-
able spirit have never failed to achieved their goals.

12
 PATTERNS (TuiJ

The ancient law in the Orient was similar to the law of Hamurabi, "an eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," and was rigorously enforced even if death was
caused accidenta lly.
In this type of environment, and since the present system of free sparring
had not yet been developed, it was impossible for a student of the martial arts to
practise or test his individual skill of attack and defense against actual moving
opponents.
Individual advancement was certainly hindered until an imaginative
practitioner created the first patterns.
Patterns are various fundamental movements, most of which represent
either attack or defense techniques, set to a fixed and logical sequence.
The student systematically deals with several imaginary opponents under
various assumptions, using every available attacking and blocking tool from
different d irections. Thus pattern practice enables the student to go through
many fundamental movements in series, to develop sparring techniques,
improve flexibility of movements. master body shifting, build muscles and
breath contro l, develop fluid and smooth motions, and gain rythmical
movements.
it also enables a srudent to acquire certain special techniques wh ich
cannot be obtained from either fundamental exercises o r sparring. In short, a
pattern can be compared w ith a unit tactic or a word, if fundamental
. movement
is an individual soldier's training or alphabet. According ly, pattern, the ledger
of every movement, is a series of sparring, power tests, feats and characteristic
beauty.
Though sparring may merely indicate that an opponent is more or less
advanced, patterns are a more critical barometer in evaluating an individual's
technique.
The following points should be considered w hile performing patterns:
1. Pattern should beg in and end at exactly the same spot. This will
indicate the performer's accuracy.
13
 2. Correct posture and facing must be maintained at all times.
3. Muscles of the body should be either tensed or relaxed at the proper
critical moments in the exercise.
4. The exercise should be performed in a rhythmic movement with an
absence of stiffness.
5. Movement should be accelerated or decelerated according to the
instructions in this book.
6. Each pattern should be perfected before moving to the next.
7. Students should know the purpose of each movement.
8. Students should perform each movement with realism.
9 . Attack and defense techniques should be equally distributed among
right and left hands and feet.

All patterns in this book are performed under the assumption the student is
facing "0" (see pattern diagrams).
There are a total of twentv -four patterns in Taekwon -Do.
The reason for 24 Patterns:
The life of a human being. perhaps 100 years. can be considered as a day
when compared w ith eternity. Therefore, we mortals are no more than simple
travellers who pass by the eternal years of an aeon in a day.
it is evident that no one can live more than a limited amount of time.
Nevertheless, most people foolishly enslave themselves to materi alism as if
they could live for thousands of years. And some people strive to bequeath a
good spiritual legacy for coming generations. in this way, gaining immortality.
Obviously, the spirit is perpetual while material is not. Therefore, what we can
do to leave behind something for the welfare of mankind is, perhaps, the most
important thing in our lives.
Here I leave Taekwon-Do for mank ind as a trace of man of the late 20th
century.
The 24 patterns represent 24 hours, one day, or all my life.

14
 TRE INTERPRETATIONS OF PATTERNS

The name of the pattern, the number of movements. and the d iagrammatic
symbol of each pattern symbolizes either heroic figures in Korean history or
instances relating to historical events.

CHON-JI: means literally '"the Heaven the Earth". lt is, in the Orient,
interpreted as the creation of the world or the beginning of
human history, therefore, it is the initial pattern played by the
beginner. This pattern consists of two similar parts; one to
represent the Heaven and the other the Earth.
DAN -GUN: is named after the holy Dan -Gun, the legendary founder of
Korea in the year of 2,333 B.C.
DO-SAN: is the pseudonym of the patriot Ahn Chang - Ho (1876 -1938) .
The 24 movements represent his entire life which he devoted to
furthering the education of Korea and its independence
movement.
WON - HYO: was the noted monk who introduced Buddhism to the Silla
Dynasty in the year of 686 A.D .
YUL -GOK: is the pseudonym of a great philosopher and scholar Yi I (1536-
1584) nicknamed the "Confucius of Korea··. The 38 movements
of this pattern refer to his birthplace on 380 latitude and the
diagram (r) represents ··scholar"·.
JOONG-GUN: is named after the patriot Ahn Joong-Gun who assassinated
Hiro-Bumi lto, the first Japanese governor-general of Korea,
known as the man who played the leading part in the Korea -
Japan merger. There are 32 movements in this pattern to
represent Mr. Ahn's age w hen he was executed at Lui-Shung
prison (1910) .
TOI-GYE: is the pen name of the noted scholar Yi Hwang (16th century),
an authority on neo-Confucianism. The 37 movements of the
pattern refer to his birthplace on 370 latitude, the diagram (-±-)
represents "scholar".

15
HWA-RANG: is named after the Hwa-Rang youth group which originated in
the Silla Dynasty in the early 7th century. The 29 movements
refer to the 29th Infantry Division, where Taekwon-Do de-
veloped into maturity.
CHOONG -MOO: was the name given to the great Admiral Vi Soon -Sin of the Vi
Dynasty. He was reputed to have invented the first armoured
battleship (Kobukson) in 1592, which is said to be the precursor
of the present day subma rine. The reason why this pattern ends
with a left hand attack is to symbolize his regrettable death,
havi ng no chance to show his unrestrained potentiality checked
by the forced reservation of his loyalty to the king.
KWANG -GAE: is named after the famous Gwang-Gae-Toh-Wang, the 19th
King of the Koguryo Dynasty, who regained all the lost
territories including the greater part of Manchuria. The diagram
(.±.) represents the expansion and recovery of lost territory. The
39 movements refer to the first two fiqures of391 A. D., the year
he came to the throne .
PO-EUN: is the pseudonym of a loyal subject Chong Mong-Chu (1400)
who was a famous poet and whose poem "I would not serve a
second master though I might be crucified a hundred tunes" is
known to every Korean. He was also a pioneer in the field of
physics. The diagram ( -) represents his unerring loyalty to the
king and country towards the end of the Koryo Dynasty.
GE-BAEK: is named after Ge-Baek. a great general in the Baek J e Dynasty
(660 A .D.). The diagram (I) represents his severe and strict
military discipline.
EUI-AM: is the pseudonym of Son Byong Hi, leader of the Korean
independence movement on March 1. 1919. The 45 movements
refer to his age when he changed the name of Dong Hak
(Oriental Culture) to Chondo Kyo (Heavenly Way Religion) in
1905. The diagram (I) represents his indomitable spirit, dis-
played while dedicating himself to the prosperity of his nation.

16
 CHOONG-JANGis the pseudonym given to General Kim Duk Ryang who lived
during the Yi Dynasty, 14th century. This pattern ends with a
left-hand attack to symbolize the tragedy of his death at 27 in
prison before he was able to reach full maturity.
JUCHE: is a ph ilosophica l idea that man is the master of everything and
decides everything, in other words, the idea that man is the
master of the world and his own destiny. lt is said that th is idea
was rooted in Baekdu Mountain which symbolizes the spirit of
the Korean people. The diagram (W) represents Baekdu
Mountain.
SAM -IL: denotes the historical date of the independence movement of
Korea w hich began througho ut the country on March 1, 1919.
The 33 movements in the pattern stand for the 33 patriots who
planned the movement.
·YOO -SI N: is named after General Kim Yoo Sin, a commanding general
during the Silla Dynasty. The 68 movements refer to the last two
fig ures of 668 A.D ., the year Korea was united. The ready
posture signifies a sword drawn on the right rather than left side.
symbolizing Yoo Sin's mistake of following his king's orders to
fight with foreign forces against his own nation.
CHOI-YONG: is named after General Choi Yong, Prem ier and Commander- in-
Chief of the Armed forces during the 14th century Koryo
Dynasty. Choi Yo ng was greatly respected for his loyalty,
patriotism. and humility. He was executed by his subordinate
commanders headed by General Yi Sung Gae, who later
become the first king of t he Yi Dynasty.
YON-GAE: is named after a famous general during the Koguryo Dynasty,
Yon Gae Somoon. The 49 movements refer to the last two
figures of649 A .D., the year he forced the Tang Dynasty to quit
Korea after destroying nearly 300,000 of their troops at Ansi
Sung.

t7
UL-JI: is named after general UI-Ji Moon Dok who successfully
defended Korea against a Tang 's invasion force of nearly one
million soldiers led by Yang Je in 612 A. D.. UI-Ji employing hit
and run guerilla tactics, was able to decimate a large percentage
of the force. The diagram Cll represents his surname. The 42
movements represents the author's age when he designed the
pattern.
MOON -MOO: honors the 30th king of the Silla Dynasty. His body was buried
near Dae Wang Am (Great King 's Rock) . According to his will,
the body was placed in the sea " Where my soul shall forever
defend my land against the Japanese."lt is said that the Sok Gul
Am (Stone Cave) was built to guard his tomb. The Sok Gul Am
is a fine example of the culture of the Silla Dynasty. The 61
movements in this pattern symbolize the last two figures of 661
A. D. when Moon Moo came to the throne.
SO-SAN: is the pseudonym of the great monk Choi Hyong 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.
SE -JONG: is named after the greatest Korean k ing, Se-Jong, who invented
the Korean alphabet in 1443, and was also a noted meteorol-
ogist. The diagram CB represents the king, while the 24
movements refer to the 24 letters of the Korean alphabet.
TONG -IL: denotes the resolution of the unification of Korea which has
been divided since 1945. The diagram (I) symbolizes the
homogenous race.

Since each pattern has a close relationship with the fundamental excercise,
students, therefore, should practice the patterns according to the following
graduation to attain the maximum results w ith the least effort.
