Means “Heaven and Earth.” According to legend, Chon-Ji is the lake where Dan-Gun founded Korea.
As the first form that students learn, Chon-Ji follows a relatively simple formula.
- Every block is followed by a step forward and punch
- If the left foot is in front after a punch, the next step is a 90 degree step counterclockwise
- If the right foot is in front after a punch, the next step is to pick up to front leg and execute a 180 degree turn
