The Demonstration
The virtual martial artist in this demonstration will
be performing a Tae Kwon Do hyung. Hyungs are one of the more important
aspects of Tae Kwon Do training. The definition of a hyung
is a series of attacking and defensive movements which follow a logical,
predetermined sequence. The specific hyung demonstrated here is Chon-Ji
Hyung. Mastering this hyung is required for a white belt student
to be promoted to the next rank. The literal meaning of Chon-Ji
is "heaven and earth", which in the orient symbolizes the creation of the
world and the beginning of human history.
This demonstration includes 21 movements.
Each movement has its own page. Furthermore, each page has four buttons:
Previous, Reset, Go, and Next. The Previous button will take you
to the previous page and the Next button takes you to the next page.
The Go button is what triggers the virtual martial artist to perform the
move. After the move has been performed, the martial artist can be
reset to his initial position (before the Go button was pressed) by pressing
the Reset button.
Now, we can proceed to our virtual demonstration
of Chon-Ji Hyung.
