Our forms are from the Chun-ji set , which is unusual for a WTF certified school. Back in the late 1980's we switched masters from Yang Kwang Kim to Oh Jang Yoon for the betterment of our club , and the advancement of Tae Kwon Do. We were allowed to keep the forms of our previous master. They follow : Yellow Stripe (9th Keub) Form Chun-Ji Means literally "The Heavens and the Earth". It is , in the Orient , interpreted as the creation of the world and the beginning of human history , therefore it is the initial pattern played by the beginner.
