24/06/08 - ITF-C renames pattern Juche, calling it Kodang
The official ITF under President Choi has decided to rename pattern Juche because of its political links. The pattern will now be called Kodang - read the full article here.
This is very confusing for those of us in traditional ITF Taekwondo as we now have 2 patterns called Kodang! The original Kodang (usually spellt Ko-Dang) is still practised by our 2nd Dans. The general consensus is that we will continue to use the name Juche to avoid confusion but we may recognise this pattern as 'Kodang 2'. Further information on this will follow.
