¹In the spring of 1915, Yi Chi-bok and Chae Sa-yun met with Gim Hyeong-guk of Pilam Village in Jangseong County,²and they reached a consensus to build a new house in Pilam Village and escort Taemonim to it, hence relocating the dojang.³Taemonim, however, did not grant Her approval, so this aspiration hence failed to bear fruit.

⁴In the autumn of 1916 (DG 46), Chi-bok next consulted the followers of Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, purchased a house in Wonpyeong Village, and then entreated Taemonim that the dojang be relocated.⁵Displeased by Gyeong-seok’s autocratic ways for some time, Taemonim approved the relocation.

⁶At Cha Yun-gyeong’s house, on November 27, the day before the winter solstice, Chi-bok and Sa-yun consulted with representatives of practitioners from various regions and reached a consensus to relocate the dojang to Wonpyeong Village the day after the winter solstice.

⁷However, on the day of the winter solstice, Yi Yun-su, at Gyeong-seok’s request, advised Taemonim to rescind Her approval of the dojang relocation; and Gahng Sa-seong attacked Chi-bok in the presence of Taemonim by citing his faults.⁸Gravely concerned for Chi-bok and worried about strife among the disciples, Taemonim declared, “All efforts to relocate the dojang must cease.”⁹The campaign to relocate the dojang therefore ended in failure, leaving Chi-bok and Sa-yun no choice but to eventually bid farewell to Taemonim’s dao order and depart.
