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." In the Orient it is 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.
