Cullompton TaeKwon-Do.co.uk /Patterns

In ancient times, the law of "An Eye For An Eye, A Tooth For A Tooth" was considered the just way. If someone were killed, even accidentally, the law would be enforced. Because of this, it was almost impossible for a martial arts student to practice their skills.

A Pattern is a set of fundamental movements, mainly attack and defense, set in a logical sequence to deal with one or more imaginary opponents. Patterns are an indication of a students progress. A barometer in evaluating an individual's technique
The set of patterns we follow is called "Chang Hun" or Blue Cottage. This is also the penname of Major General Choi Hong Hi. The unoffiical name is the "Chon-Ji" pattern set
Gen. Choi created TKD with only twenty patterns. The others were added years later. Again, later down the road, a deletion was made and yet another pattern took its place. If you recognize pattern Ko-Dang (one of the original 20, later replaced by Juche Tul)...you will see that there are actually 25 patterns.

The ITF website has all the patterns listed out clearly.
It seems pointless for me to repeat them all.
Please go to ITF Patterns page to see them.

These links below are for more information on the patterns or characters behind them.
