Hwa-Rang Tul 29 moves

 

Hwa-Rang is named after the Hwa-Rang youth group, which originated in the Silla Dynasty in the early 7th century. This group eventually became the driving force for the unification of the three kingdoms of Korea (Paekche, Koguryo and Silla). The 29 movements of the pattern refer to the 29th Infantry Division, where Tae Kwon-Do developed into maturity. The numbers 2 and 9 are also significant, the 2 represents Korea divided and the 9 represents the fist. General Choi also founded the 29th Infantry (fist) Division.
