Patterns

One Steps

One steps are the first combinations students learn at the RBBA. They are performed individually (one step #1 is separate from one step #2, and #3, and so on). Additionally, one steps can be performed from either side. One steps are first learned by yellow belts.

Advanced one steps build upon the one steps by adding more advanced techniques, particularly in terms of the kicks involved. Advanced yellow belts learn the advanced one steps, and practice them with a partner. As with one steps, the advanced one steps may be performed from either side.

Dan-Gun

Dan-Gun is the first pattern students learn at the RBBA. It is taught at the white and yellow belt level, and for our junior students, through the advanced yellow belt level.

Do-San

Adults learn Do-San at the advanced yellow belt level, and junior students learn Do-San when they are awarded their 1st degree black belt.

Won-Hyo

Won-Hyo is taught at the green belt level to both junior and adult students.

Yul-Gok

Adult students learn Yul-Gok as part of their advanced green belt training. For juniors, Yul-Gok is taught at the black belt level.

Joong-Gun

Adult students learn Joong-Gun when they earn their blue belts. (Note that junior students do not learn Joong-Gun at this point, but instead learn Toi-Gye as blue belts.) Joong-Gun is taught to junior students at the black belt level.

Toi-Gye

Junior students learn Toi-Gye when they earn their blue belt. For adult students, Toi-Gye is taught at the advanced blue belt level.

Hwa-Rang

At the red belt level, both junior and adult students learn Hwa-Rang.

Choong-Moo

Choong-Moo is an upper rank pattern learned by adults when they earn their red advanced belt, and by junior students when they earn their brown belts.

Kwang-Gae

Kwang-Gae is the final pattern learned before students–both junior and adult–earn their black belts. It is taught at the black belt recommended level, when a student has earned their “skunk belt.”
