Pattern Numbering System
In order to simplify the movements within each pattern a "Numbering System" will be used. At the beginning of each pattern a "foot diagram" can be found. The foot diagram is numbered so that each number will represent a direction you will be moving during your performance of the pattern.

You shall begin all patterns by facing number "4", with your back to number "3". A black dot in the foot diagram indicates your starting position. Since each starts and ends in the same spot, the term "Choon Bee "Ready Position" will refer to this location in the foot diagram.

The word "Movement" followed by a number, is the final position of one of the pattern's movements. Here you will find a detailed explanation of the movement. "Intermediate Position" represents a photograph of a step-by-step position from one movement to the next. The words "Other View Of Photograph" followed by a number, provides a view of the photograph number indicated, from another angle. The purpose of "intermediate positions" and "other views" are to help clarify the exact body position of a movement or how to correctly turn or move in order to reach the final position of a movement.

The word "YAH" will indicate you are to sound off (yell "YAH") on that particular movement. When yelling YAH is required, force all of the air out of your body in one quick exhalation, through your mouth, while yelling "YAH". There are several reasons for yelling YAH. The yell temporarily startles your opponent. It allows you a better chance to absorb a blow should the opponent attack you at the same time. The yell also provides you with added power through muscle tension and focus of internal energy. When yelling YAH during a pattern, be sure to tense your lower abdomen and focus your attention on the area you are attacking. This will provide you with added speed and power.

At times a notation may be found underneath a photograph preceded by an asterisk. The notation usually refers to the speed you are to perform a movement or series of movements such as, "Perform this movement in a slow motion", or "Perform movements (number) and (number) in a fast motion". You should adjust the rhythm of your movements accordingly.

The word "Par Row" (Return to Ready Position), indicates you are to return to the same stance and hand position from which you began the pattern.
