Sajo-Jirugi 1 & 2 are the first choreographed set of movements, both offensive and defensive given to the Tae Kwon-Do student. They develop co-ordination, direction changing, and breath control. The exercises are a combination of low section outer forearm or middle section inner forearm blocks and middle obverse punches performed in walking stance.
