Chon-Ji

19 movimientos

Heaven and Earth — the creation of the world and the beginning of human history. Two equal parts: one represents Heaven, the other Earth.

Chon-Ji (천지, 'Heaven and Earth') is the first official Tul in the Chang Hon system, created by General Choi Hong Hi. Its 19 movements are divided into two equal parts: the first represents Heaven, the second Earth. It is performed by the white belt with yellow stripe (9th Gup) during the examination for yellow belt. It introduces low and middle blocks (najunde and kaunde makgi) along with the direct punch (jirugi) in walking stance (gunnun sogi) and sitting stance (annun sogi). It marks the beginning of the ITF Taekwondo path and is memorized as the foundation of all subsequent Tul.
