What is Taekwon-Do all about

The pattern for this level (Yul-Gok) has the most number of moves of all the colour belt patterns at 38. Whilst not technically hard it does introduce 'connecting motion' which you may find difficult to master initially. Also at this level you may wish to hone your sparring skills and introduce some reverse kicks into your routine. Again, practicing your balance and coordination is the key to success here.

Grading Pattern - Yul-Gok


Yul Gok is the pseudonym of the great philosopher and scholar Yi I (1536-1584 AD), nicknamed the “Confucius of Korea”. The 38 movements refer to his birthplace on 38o latitude and the diagram represents ‘scholar’.
