6 TAN GUN (2333 B.C.) Tan Gun was the father of Korea, and founded the kingdom of Korea In 2334 B.C. The legened Is as follows: Hwan Ung came down from heaven to rule the universe. At that time a tiger and a bear, who lived In a cave, begged Hwan Ung to change them Into humans. The tiger couldn't comply with the commandments of Hwan Ung, so he lost his chance to become human. However, the bear could, became a woman, and prayed under an altar to become pregnant. Hwan Ung was moved by her plea, changed himself Into a man, and married her. They had a son, Tan Gun, the father of Korea. The birth of Dan Gun, and the story of the founding of Korea, belong to the myths, but after the Silla unification, especially In the era of the Lee Dynasty, the myth became respected by all. The Koryo dynasty viewed Dan Gun as the sole founder of the Korean kingdom and used this legend to show Korean superiority to the Mongolian tribes. There was considerable antagonism toward the Mongolian tribes because In the past they had Invaded and conquered Korea several times. This myth of Tan Gun played a very important role in protecting the Korean kingdom from Invasion by maintaining the Korean culture for several thousand years, through the succession of the Silla, Koryo, and Lee Dynasties. Nowadays, October 3rd is celebrated as a national holiday, commemorating the founding father, Dan Gun. Tan Gun Is the next basic form for the beginner after Chon JI. The stances and movements are the same as In Chon JI. The only difference is that Tan Gun Includes an additional motion to defend yourself from both sides of an opponent's attack.
