TaeKwon-Do Hyung Diagrams

 

 

Long ago, hyungs were developed to assist a warrior in the practice of defensive and offensive skills without causing injury or death to actual opponents. TaeKwon-Do hyungs were developed by the founder of TaeKwon-Do as the martial art was officially given its name. Once developed, they were not to change with time. These hyungs are indeed part of the thick deep roots of TaeKwon-Do. They are practiced over and over until it becomes a permanent part of the practitioner. The hyungs shown in the diagrams are the traditional Chang-Hun TaeKwon-Do hyungs. They are just the first 10 of the 24 traditional Chang-Hun TaeKwon-Do hyungs; the 24 representing 24 hours, one day, or as the founder of TaeKwon-Do would explain, "all my life". When practicing or teaching these hyungs, remember that if they don't change, the tradition is practiced.
