A pattern is a set of fundamental movements (mainly defence and attack) set in a logical sequence to deal with one or more imaginary opponents. They are used as an indication of progress, help develop sparring techniques, improve flexibility, master body shifting, develop muscles, balance and breath control.

The following points should be observed when practicing patterns:

• Patterns should begin and end on the same spot. This indicates the performers accuracy.
• Correct posture and facing must be maintained at all times.
• Muscles of the body should be tensed or relaxed at the proper critical moments in the exercise.
• The exercise should be performed in a rhythmic movement with the absence of stiffness.
• Each pattern should be accelerated or decelerated according to instructions.
• Each pattern should be perfected before moving to the next.
• Students should know the purpose of each movement.
• Students should perform each movement with realism.

Grandmaster Choi created twenty-four patterns for the student of Taekwon-Do.
