Chul-Gi (also called Chulgi or Naihanchi Cho-Dan) is the name of one of the oldest "taekwondo" forms (having originated from karate, before the formal establishment of what is now called taekwondo); nowadays it is rarely practiced in taekwondo, though sometimes it is still seen in ITF-style and Traditional Taekwondo schools. Many of the founders of the Nine Kwans studied Shotokan karate, and as a consequence many of the earliest taekwondo forms (such as Chul-Gi) are based on karate forms. Chul-Gi literally means Iron Horse and stresses techniques performed in a Horse-Riding Stance.
