Practice Level
Pattern Exercise Four-Direction Block
Practiced alternately in both a clockwise and counter-clockwise version.
There are 8 moves in each version.

Right Four-Direction Block
Step-by-Step Description of Movements:
The fundamental
pattern exercise begins when the instructor commands the student to come to attention
(cha-ryeot). When given this command, assume an Attention Stance on the X on the AB line, facing D. This is followed by the instructor stating the fundamental pattern exercise that the
student will perform (o-reun Sa-ju Mak-gi).
On the command to assume the ready position (jun-bi), move the left foot to B to form a Parallel Ready Stance toward D. Remain in this parallel ready stance toward D until given
the command to begin the fundamental pattern exercise.
When the command to begin the exercise is given (si-jak), perform the following individual movements in sequence. The
exercise should be performed according to the guidelines listed in the section on essential points in performing patterns.
1. Move the right foot backward to C to form a left walking stance toward D, while executing (half facing)
a low block to D with the left knifehand.
2. Move the right foot forward to D to form a right walking stance toward D, while executing (half facing) a middle side block
to D with the right inner forearm.
3. Pull the right foot toward the left foot. Then, while pivoting on the ball of the left foot
and turning counterclockwise, move the right foot backward to A to form a left walking stance
toward B, while executing (half facing)
a low block to B with the left knifehand.
4. Move the right foot forward to B to form a right walking stance toward B while executing (half facing) a middle side block to B with the
right inner forearm.
5. Pull the right foot toward the left foot. Then, while pivoting on the ball of the left foot
and turning counterclockwise, move the right foot backward to D to form a left walking stance
toward C, while executing (half facing)
a low block to C with the left knifehand.
6. Move the right foot forward to C to form a right walking stance toward C, while executing (half facing) a middle side block to C with the
right inner forearm.
7. Pull the right foot toward the left foot. Then, while pivoting on the ball of the left foot
and turning counterclockwise, move the right foot backward to B to form a left walking stance
toward A, while executing (half facing)
a low block to A with the left knifehand.
8. Move the right foot forward to A to form a right walking stance toward A, while executing (half facing) a middle side block to A with the
right inner forearm.
After completing
the last movement, remain in the position of this last move until given the command to return to the ready position (ba-ro).
END: When the command to return to the ready position (ba-ro) is given, bring the right foot toward the
left foot to form a parallel ready stance toward D. Remain in this stance until
given the at-ease command (swi-eot).
Left Four-Direction Block
Step-by-Step Description of Movements:
The fundamental pattern exercise begins when the instructor commands the student
to come to attention (cha-ryeot). When given this command, assume an Attention Stance on the X on the AB line, facing D. This is followed by the instructor stating the fundamental pattern exercise that the
student will perform (oen Sa-ju Mak-gi).
On the command to assume the ready position (jun-bi), move the left foot to B to form a Parallel Ready Stance toward D. Remain in this parallel ready stance toward D until given
the command to begin the fundamental pattern exercise.
When the command to begin the exercise is given (si-jak), perform the following individual movements in sequence. The
exercise should be performed according to the guidelines listed in the section on essential points in performing patterns.
1. Move the left foot backward to C to form a right walking stance toward D, while executing (half facing)
a low block to D with the right knifehand.
2. Move the left foot forward to D
to form a left walking stance toward D, while executing (half facing)
a middle side block to D with the left inner forearm.
3. Pull the left foot toward the right foot. Then, while pivoting on the ball of the right
foot and turning clockwise, move the left foot backward to B to form a right walking stance toward A, while executing (half facing) a low block to A with
the right knifehand.
4. Move the left foot forward to A
to form a left walking stance toward A, while executing (half facing)
a middle side block to A with the left inner forearm.
5. Pull the left foot toward the right foot. Then, while pivoting on the ball of the right
foot and turning clockwise, move the left foot backward to D to form a right walking stance toward C, while executing (half facing) a low block to C with
the right knifehand.
6. Move the left foot forward to C
to form a left walking stance toward C, while executing (half facing)
a middle side block to C with the left inner forearm.
7. Pull the left foot toward the right foot. Then, while pivoting on the ball of the right
foot and turning clockwise, move the left foot backward to A to form a right walking stance toward B, while executing (half facing) a low block to B with
the right knifehand.
8. Move the left foot forward to B to form
a left walking stance toward B, while executing (half facing)
a middle side block to B with the left inner forearm.
After completing the last movement, remain in the position of this last
move until given the command to return to the ready position (ba-ro).
END: When the command to return to the ready position (ba-ro) is given, bring the left foot toward the
right foot to form a parallel ready stance toward D. Remain in this stance until
given the at-ease command (swi-eot).
