Reason for 24 Patterns
| The reason for 24 patterns in TaeKwonDo is because the founder, General Choi Hong Hi, compared the life of man with a day in the life of the Earth. The 24 patterns represent the 24 hours in the day. He believed that people should strive to bequeath a good spiritual legacy to coming generations and in doing so gain immortality. He believed that if we can leave something behind for the welfare of mankind it will be the most important thing to happen in our lives. General Choi developed TaeKwonDo and will leave it as a trace of mankind in the 20th century. |
