Theory 

  • The Yellow Belt signifies the earth from which a plant sprouts and takes root as the Taekwondo foundation is being laid. 

  • Chon-ji means literally “the heaven the earth”.  

  • It is interpreted as the creation of the world or the beginning of human history, therefore it is the initial pattern played by the beginner.  

  • The pattern consists of two similar parts; one to represent the heaven and the other the earth.
