Neill Liv
Neill Liv is named for the inspiring mentor and Instructor Neill Livingstone. The 49 movements of this pattern refer to his age when he successfully graded to 6th degree black belt. The pattern diagram represents his passion and perseverance, clearly evident in his dedication to the Taranaki Taekwon-Do club and its students. Movement 19 is performed in slow motion to denote the 20 years since Mr Livingstone formed the Taranaki Taekwon-Do club in 1993. Whereby it has empowered its students with the skills and attitude to build a more peaceful world. The continuation of the pattern signifies Taranaki Taekwon-Do's longevity and prosperity as it flourishes into maturity. The 5 stamping motions in this pattern refer to the last figure of Mr Livingstone's age, 25, when he first started Taekwon-Do in 1987. The 'L' shape of the pattern diagram is derived from Mr Livingstone's favourite quote: 'Lead, follow or get left behind'
Close Ready Stance C was used in tribute to the Hwa-Rang Youth Group and its Code of Conduct:
Be loyal to your king
Be obedient to your parents
Be honourable to your friends
Never retreat in battle
Make a just kill
This pattern was created by Mr. Connor Auker, for his thesis when grading to 3rd Dan with Taranaki Taekwon-Do.
