Meaning : The word "chonkwon" means the Heaven's Great Mighty,
which is the origin of all the creature and itself the cosmos. Its infinite
competence signifies the creation, change and completion. Human beings have
used the name of Heaven for all principal earthly shapes and meanings because
they felt afraid of the Heaven's mighty. Over 9,000 years ago, the founder of
the Korean people, "Hwanin", was meant by the heavenly king. He settled down
in the "heavenly" town as the capital near the heavenly sea and heavenly mountain,
where the Han people as the heavenly race gave birth to the proper thought and
actions from which Taekwondo was originated. The poomsae Chonkwon is based on
such sublime history and thoughts.
The new techniques introduced in this poomsae are nalgae pyogi (wing opening),
bamjumeok sosum-chigi (knuckle protruding fist springing chigi), hwidullo-makki
(swinging-makki), hwidullo jabadangkigi(swinging and drawing), keumhang yop-jireugi,
taesan-milgi, etc., and a crouched walking manner.
The characteristics of movements are large actions and arm actons forming gentle
curves, thus symbolizing the greatness of Chonkwon thought. The poomsae line
"T" symbolizes a man coming down from the heaven, submitting to the will of
Heaven, being endowned power by the Heaven and worshiping the Heaven, which
means the oneness between the Heaven and a human being.
