In ITF taekwondo there are 24 patterns. They are known as tul or taekwondo hyung.
The first few patterns are very symmetrical. So first you do the moves to one side of your body and then you repeat them on the other side.
These first few tae kwon do forms introduce you to the basic stances, blocks, strikes and kicks. The tul gradually get more complex as you work through the belt system.
As well as practising you basic techniques, learning your taekwondo patterns helps you develop focus, balance and co-ordination.
As always take your time and learn each tae kwon do form slowly. It's best not to move on until you are very comfortable with the form you are working on.
