Chon-Ji Hyung Pattern

Patterns,
For all the white belts that are looking for information on your pattern: 

Name: Chon-Ji Hyung
Meaning: Heaven and Earth Pattern
# of Motions: 19
Shape: A Cross

Craig posted a link to this website a while back, but it got buried under newer posts. It has video’s that can be opened in Windows Media Player (or other video player of choice), and diagrams that can be opened in your browser. They are the same diagrams that we have given to some of you to use.

Or, if you prefer to watch on youtube, here is the same video:

Here is another video of someone doing the pattern. First the video shows you the pattern from behind, and then from the front:

Yellow-Green Pattern

Patterns,

Here is a little info on the Yellow-Green pattern.

Name: Do-San Hyung
Meaning: The pseudonym for the Korean patriot Ahn-Chang-Ho, who devoted his life to furthering the education of Korea and to the Korean Independence Movement. The 24 motions represent his life.
# of Motions: 24
Shape: S

Here’s a video. (Please note that the yells are on the first groin strike, and the second high block; in the video the first yell is in the same place, but the second yell is in a different place).

Here’s a second video that has the pattern performed from the front and the back:

Here’s a diagram of the form. Please note that there is some terminology differences on the form, but the motions are all the same.

Won-Hyo Hyung Pattern

Patterns
Pattern Info:

Name: Won-Hyo Hyung
Meaning: Won-Hyo is the monk who introduced Buddhism to Korea in 686 AD.
# of Motions: 28
Shape: Capital I

Heres’ a video:

Please note the following differences between the video and how we practice the pattern in class:

*The video refers to L-Stances, we call these back stances.
*Motions #1, #4, #13, & #16, we start this motion from a saucer & tea cup, whereas the video starts the motion from in front of the chest.
*Motions #8, #9, #25, & #26 we have our hands in a saucer & tea cup, the video keeps the hands in guard.
*On the knife hands, we move the hands in a more linear motion close to the chest, the video moves the hands in a more circular motion further from the chest. (This one is more so sloppiness than a difference).
*Motion #12, we perform a groin strike, which is aimed lower than the spear finger used in the video, but otherwise practiced the same way. We also yell on this motion.
*Motions #19 & #22, we do not bend our knees down and then up on, we instead use a regular front stance.
*Motions #27 &#28, we use a regular fighting stance, as opposed to a back stance and block as done in the video.

I also want to point out that in the above video the pattern is performed rather sloppily, though I am posting it anyway since it clearly explains what motions to perform. (Once again, refer to the above paragraph to see the differences between the video and how we practice the pattern).

Here’s a video of the pattern performed from the front and the back (again, it has a few differences between how we practice it at class):

Here’s a diagram of the pattern:

Dan-Gun Hyung Pattern Info

Who he was: The legendary founder of Korea
# of Motions: 21
Shape: Capital I

Please note that all of the punches in this pattern are high punches (even with the nose).

Unfortunately, I can’t find a good video of this pattern with an angle from behind the person.

I do however have a link to a diagram of the pattern:

http://www.natkd.com/pics/Chang_Hon_Forms/hyung_2_dangun.jpg

There are a few terminology differences in the diagram compared to what we use in class, but it has all the same motions.

Uniform Washing

Uniform

You must wash your uniform at least once a week.

Your sparring gear must be washed at least once a month, preferably biweekly. For the cloth pads, you may simply throw them in the wash with the rest of the clothes. The pads may sometimes become mispositioned within the pad, at which point the simply need to be repositioned, make sure to fix them before coming to class, not at class when it is time to spar.

For the vinyl pads (i.e. helmet and chestguard) you may simply use a clorox wipe or similar product/method.
