To many people it might sound strange to hear about a person without arms who practices the art
of Taekwon-Do. I do practice Taekwon-Do since 1982. More precisely I should say: I practice
"Tae-Do" as I cannot perform any hand technique.
This caused a big problem when it came to learning the patterns of Taekwon-Do. My instructors,
however, did not hesitate to adjust the patterns for the performance without the use of arms.
This proved to be a somewhat difficult task as they tried to save as much as possible of the
patterns' original designs. The number of movements, the diagram, the distribution of left and
right moves all remained the same. Furthermore they also tried to save the typical character of
every pattern, i.e. a high hand attack is simulated by a high foot attack, a low hand block by a low
foot block, etc.
On the following pages you find the nine patterns I had to learn and perform in order to earn my
First Dan.
I do not know if there are any other armless Taekwon-Do practitioners anywhere out in the world.
Nevertheless I thought it was worth the effort to write down the "armless Tuls" in order to create a
standard within the ITF.
Special thanks to all my instructors who each made the effort of modifying one or even more
patterns for my use.
