| "If we imagine that the fundamental movements of Taekwon-Do are like musical notes, then the twenty-four patterns are like the songs produced by assembling those notes." |

Fundamental movements
Fundamental movements refer to the learning, practice and perfection of all the
basic movements in Taekwon-Do. In the club situation these can be practiced
together as line work, individually, or with partners. This area of training cannot be
over emphasised and an instructor will usually devote time to it every session. As
in any sport, unless you have mastered the basic stances, balance and mechanics
of the movements, your progress in the more advanced aspects will be limited.
Fundamental exercises can sometimes be boring for students, as there must be
plenty of repetition to get improvement. It is a challenge for the instructor to come
up with ways to make it varied and interesting.
