An OBVERSE technique is performed using the same arm as the leg that is most bent. A REVERSE technique is performed using the same arm as the leg that is least bent, thus the opposite of obverse. If the left leg is most bent then it is a left stance. If the right leg is most bent, then is it a right stance. Saju Jirugi and Saju Makgi are exercises, they are NOT patterns.

White belt signifies innocence as that of a beginning student who has no previous knowledge of the art.
