bdkfbjj Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Does anyone have any information on the history of the Chang-hon patterns? I don't need to know the background of the forms as that information is easily found, but instead I would like information on the development of the forms, i.e. influences, history, timeline, etc. Thank you.

ranger1100ky Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 http://www.tkdtutor.comGive that one a try... that man has OODLES of information right there.Basically, if you follow the history of General Choi Hong Hi...(Incidentally... Chang-hon, is his pen name, as he was also a calligrapher, and Chang-hon, means 'Blue cottage')You'll have the history of the forms as he developed them.One tidbit that's missed sometimes...Up until the 1980's... he only had 20 forms in his system...Sometime after the 80's... he developed 4 more... to form what is currently a 24 form system... one form for each of the hours of a day.Good luck in your research!Paul "Tournaments are the least important aspect of martial arts..."
