품새 Taekwondo poomsae · Yudanja · 1st black-belt form

Koryo · 고려

Koryo commemorates the Koryo dynasty (918–1392 C.E.), whose people's indomitable will withstood the Mongol invasions. The floor pattern traces the hanja 士, 'seonbae', a learned man of strong martial spirit.

Koryo is the first of the nine Yudanja forms, the black-belt curriculum of World Taekwondo. It follows Pal Jang and precedes Keumgang.
