Effective 24/6/2008 the ITF restored the original name of this patern - kodang.
This is hugely significant as the name "Ju Che" had been forever associated with General Choi's expulsion from S. Korea and an endorsement of the government of North Korea (Note: that may not have been true, Choi - a North Korean - was likely just showing cultural pride).
It suggests the ITF (split into 3 since the general's death) is trying to regain acceptance in certain areas.
Only Choi Jung Hwa's ITF has; the other two haven't. Kodang is a totally different pattern, it wasn't the original name of this one. It was different altogether and the entire pattern was replaced in the syllabus. I don't think Choi Jung Hwa ever liked the NKs in the 1st place.
The best Juche I've seen done was by an 8th dan, and for a good reason... :) It's a durn hard pattern to do right... I'm working on this and Choong-Jang right now... This is definitely the tail kicker of the two... :)
still prefer this video to the link above by ogreatone. the NTN guy is cleaner, even though he wobbles on some of the kicks. but so do i, its a damn hard pattern to get perfect.
yea the guy did it a lil rushed, but it was his promotion, and iam always a lil nervous and rush things at tournaments and promotions. ive just seen way better juches.
he is rushing a little bit..not bad but definitely needs to work on the kicks and timing..

Yes, you are right. I sometimes forget that the ITF has actually split into three entities now.
I am not familiar with CJH's politics but I certainly cannot dispute your belief about his motives for the change.

JuChe IS the nice pattern but it take hard work to train it well to get them out even 5th Dan still practicing that pattern to get it down perfectly

Hey did you see the one done by Jaroslaw Suska, 5th dan? It's on YouTube and it's really well done. Useful for learning the patterns.
