These schools were established by Korean martial artists who had studied primarily in\u00a0Okinawa\u00a0and China during the Japanese occupation. Accordingly, the martial arts practiced in the kwans was heavily influenced by\u00a0shotokan karate\u00a0and Chinese martial arts, though elements of\u00a0taekkyeon\u00a0and\u00a0gwonbeop\u00a0were also incorporated.<\/p><p>Five of these kwans were established during the interval between World War II and the Korean War. During the Korean War, establishment of new schools was halted; at the conclusion of the war four new schools were established by students from the five original kwans. Collectively, these schools are referred to as the nine original kwans of taekwondo. Each kwan practiced its own style of martial art (the term <i>taekwondo<\/i> had not yet been coined) and employed their own set of forms. The majority of the forms used, however, derived from Shotokan karate. In many cases they were given new names.

In the early 1980s, however, Kodang was removed from the official syllabus by General Choi and replaced by a new pattern which he named Juche. Go-Dang was a famous South Korean anti-communist, and when Choi began to spread his art throughout the world, and to North Korea in particular, he removed this pattern so as not to offend anyone. Although no longer part of official ITF Taekwondo, Kodang is still included in the syllabi of many Taekwondo organisations. In those organisations where it is still taught, it is generally taught to students at the level of second dan black belt. It consists of a sequence of 39 individual techniques. Although some sources lead to the deduction that Kodang is exactly the same pattern as Juche, they are in fact two completely different patterns. The confusion arose when one of the ITF Taekwondo groups changed the name of the pattern Juche to Kodang in 2008, because the word &#8220;<a title=\"Juche\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Juche\">Juche<\/a>&#8221; is associated with North Korea&#8217;s communist ideology.<\/p><\/li><li><ul><li><b>Choe-Yeong<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p>\ucd5c\uc601 \/ \u5d14\u69ae \u2013 45 movements<\/p><p>Choe-Yeong (or Choi-Yong) is named after General\u00a0<a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Choe Yong\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Choe_Yong\">Choe Yong<\/a>, Premier and Commander-in Chief of the armed forces during the 14th century\u00a0<a title=\"Goryeo\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Goryeo\">Goryeo<\/a>\u00a0Dynasty.
