Chon-Ji Tul (19 movements): Chon-Ji literally means 'Heaven and Earth'. In the Orient it is interpreted as the beginning of the world or the creation of human history, therefore it is the initial pattern performed by the beginner. It consists of two similar parts, one representing Heaven and the other representing the earth.

Meaning of Yellow Belt
Yellow signifies the earth from which the plant sprouts and takes root as the Taekwon-Do foundations are being laid.
