This page was made to assist Cho's
Tae Kwon Do students study for their tests. You can go directly to the
YouTube channel and explore or use the easy links below. Each belt
level has a pattern and saying that must be
mastered to move on to the next level. Each pattern has known techniques
to practice and new ones to master. The patterns have a wisdom of
their own that can not be taught any other way. Mastering patterns
requires perseverance and patience. Qualities that are applicable in all
areas of our lives. Happy practicing!
