Keep Your Guard Up! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

NoBucksRanch: Sadly this one has run its course. The area has changed quite a bit and the Taekwon-do studio has been gone for many many years. Thanks to everyone that took the time to solve and find this puzzle! Remember when geocaching to always "Keep Your Guard Up!"

Geocache Description:

***THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES***

The NoBucksRanch family has been involved with Taekwon-Do for several years. In addition to the tenets of the martial arts, we find it a great way to stay in shape, to have fun, and to meet new people (similar to geocaching but you get to kick people in the head!).

There are several different styles of Taekwon-Do. We study the traditional version using the Chang-Hon Patterns. During our training we have learned lots of really cool moves including:

1 Punch
2 Knifehand Guarding Block
3 Front Kick (Snap kick)
4 Twin Forearm Block
5 Elbow Strike
6 Jumping Side Kick
7 Back Fist
8 Hook Kick
9 Hammerfist

These moves and many others can be seen in the various patterns that one learns as they advance through the ranks and earn new belts (as seen in the table below):

MOVE PATTERN NAME
   4      WON-HYO
 24      YUL-GOK
   3      DAN-GUN
 73      SO-SAN
 50      YON-GAE
 28      TOI-GYE
 34      KO-DANG
 12      CHON-JI
   9      JOONG-GUN
 17      HWA-RANG
 18      DO-SAN
 15      PO-EUN
 14      MOON-MOO
 30      CHOONG-MOO
 33      KWANG-GAE

Congratulations to Mudder91 for FTF!
Good Luck and remember to "Keep Your Guard Up!"
