Toi-Gye Tul (Toi-Gye pattern)
37 moves close ready stance B (moa junbe sogi B)
Interpretation: Toi-Gye is the pen name of the noted scholar Yi Hwang (16th Century) an authority on neo-Confucianism. The 37 movements refer to his birthplace on the 37 latitude. The floor diagram represents”scholar”.
The upset finger tip thrust starts around head height, with the reaction hand down low.
The back fist is performed slowly and the other hand is simply for reaction.
Moving from the L-stance to a walking stance and executing a circular block requires that you shift your foot towards you and then out into the walking stance. Maintain a full facing position until the last second.
