Terminology Applicable to 9th Kup
Patterns:
What is a pattern? A pattern is a series of attacking and
defensive movements designed to combat one or more imaginary opponents.
Chon-Ji (19 movements): Means literally, “The
heaven, the earth.” It is in the Orient interpreted as the creation of
the world or the beginning of human history, therefore it is the initial
pattern performed by the beginner.
The pattern consists of two similar parts—one to represent the
heaven, the other, the earth.
