Long ago, hyungs were developed to assist a warrior in the practice of defensive and offensive skills without causing injury or
death to actual opponents. Tae-Kwon-Do hyungs were developed by the founder of Tae-Kwon-Do as the martial art was officially given
its name. Once developed, they were not to change with time. These hyungs are indeed part of the thick deep roots of Tae-Kwon-Do.
They are practiced over and over until it becomes a permanent part of the practitioner.The hyungs shown in these diagrams are the
traditional Chang-Hun Tae-Kwon-Do hyungs. They are just the first 10 of the 24 traditional Chang-Hun TaeKwon-Do hyungs; the 24
representing 24 hours, one day, or as the founder of Tae-Kwon-Do would explain, "all my life." When practicing or teaching these
hyungs, remember that if they don't change, the tradition is practiced.
