History of Chon-Ji

(19 moves) 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 played by the beginner. This pattern consists of two similar parts; one represents the Heaven and the other the Earth.

In Conclusion

Working with the Chon-Ji pattern is a pleasure. Specifically the Chon-Ji draws focus to its individual diagramatic movements in the cross form, emphasising 90° and 180° turning movements. Also as with all Taekwondo patterns there are the same set of positive self improvement areas. These benefits include...

Co - Ordination

Working with the Taekwondo patterns is a great way to improve your co-ordination

Concentration

Just working through these patterns for set a number of days, you will find your ability to concentrate increase

Balance

Unlimited ability improvement when it comes to balance. The more you practice movement the better you'll get.

Change of Direction

Your enemies won't attack from the same direction twice. An ability to change direction in combat is key.
