​The story of Chon-Ji

Chon-Ji means ‘Heaven and Earth’ and is part of an old Korean legend that explains
how the universe began.
Lake Chon-Ji is the body of water that formed inside a crater (like at the top of a
volcano) on the top of Mount Paektu in the far north of Korea. According to the legend,
heaven and earth meet at this lake and this is where the universe began.
Because Chon-Ji is the first pattern in Taekwon-Do, learning it helps the student begin
to learn the rest of the patterns. It has two similar parts: the first part (low outer forearm
block and middle punch) representing heaven and the second part (middle inner
forearm block and middle punch) representing earth.
