Po-Eun Tul

Po-Eun is the pseudonym of a loyal subject Chong Mong-Chu (1400) who was a famous poet and whose poem "I would not serve a second master though I might be crucified a hundred times" is known to every Korean. He was also a pioneer in the field of physics. The diagram represents his unerring loyalty to the king and country towards the end of the Koryo Dynasty.

I'm a 2nd degree ITF instructor...Hi all! The 'bounce' you refer to stems from the fact that all techniques are performed in a downward movement. In sitting stance this comes from utilisation of 'knee spring'

Movements 6-13 are continuous and knee spring must be shown in each technique. Same as movements 24-31. This is taugt right back in basics for sitting punch...cheers

Hi guys, I can never understand why sine wave exists if I'm not going to use it when I spar. I understand the theory of why it's used, but if I were to use the analogy of "train like you play" from other sports, why use sine wave in patterns and not in sparring? I study in Australia, traditional non sport TKD and we don't use Sine wave at all.

Luke42G , Tae Kwon Do is an art not a sport. In Korean it translates to " The art of the hand and foot " Patterns simulate real people attacking but they are also for beauty. You should study theory more often :)

i learned this, aside from the bouncing......nice job

Sine wave is way too exaggerated

[caribbeanpriceclub]

@templarknight94 Nah it's continuous motion. This means you do more than complete, sine wave in one breath. A la "dan gun", this pattern also has continuous motion, in left walking stance low block, then high block
