well, I don't think you can do what you describe. TKD is really just part of a continueum of martial arts from ancient times to today. The schools that were all brought together to form TKD were doing different forms. The original forms might be the karate forms or maybie Choi's forms or who knows what depending on when you determine TKD was established. I think it is much too fluid to give a hard and fast answer.

i pretty sure these r the original patterns coz our master instructor is 1 of general choi's first black belts. Master Chong Chul Rhee. and he hasnt changed anything. hes kept everything traditional. no competition just self defence.

Your master may claim to have the original patterns set by gerneral choi, However you skiped the lesson on spelling them right, according to the ITF(the organition that gerneral choi's son is a part of) that is.

However you skiped the lesson on spelling them right,

Spelling is determined by how the names are pronounced. I've come across variations of that.
