This form is practiced by the Global Taekwondo Federation (GTF), an offshoot of the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF). After the establishment of GTF in 1990, Park Jung Tae added 6 patterns to the original 24 ITF Patterns. These are Jee-Sang, Dhan-Goon, Jee-Goo, Jook-Am, Pyong-Hwa and Sun-Duk.

Dhan-Goon is named after the founder of Korea. The 23 movements in this pattern represent the first two digits of the year 2333 B.C. when, according to legend, Korea was born. This is Grand Master Park's progressive interpretation of the traditional Taekwon-Do pattern of the same name. [23 moves]
