ITF PATTERN 1: CHON-JI (Chon-Ji Tul)
Taekwon-Do is a practical art; hence it can be learnt only from an instructor. Words, diagrams and videos can help only as a reference, and they cannot replace an instructor. Expert practical guidance from an instructor is invaluable.
“Certainly the most important asset any training hall can have is a good instructor. There is no substitute for a well-trained, intelligent, perceptive and patient instructor.” – Gen. Choi Hong Hi (Vol.6, p.17).
“Patterns are various fundamental movements, most of which represent either attack or defense techniques, set to a fixed and logical sequence.” – Gen. Choi Hong Hi (Vol.9, p.13)
Pattern Chon-Ji (Chon-Ji Tul)
“This pattern is practised by the 9th grade holder and above.” – Gen. Choi Hong Hi (Vol.8, p.119)
