Hansu


 

Meaning : The word "hansu" means water which is the source of substance preserving the life and growing all the creaturees. Hansu symbolizes birth of a life and growth, strongness and weakness, magnanimity and harmony, and adaptability. Especially, "han" has the various menaings, namely, the name of a country, numerousness, largeness, evenness, longness and even the heaven and the root of everything, among others. Above all, the nature of water characterized by unbreakability and flexibility, in addition to all the above significances, is the background of organizing this poomsae.

The new techniques introduced in this poomsae are sonnaldeung momtong hecho-makki, mejumeok yangyopkuri (both flanks) chigi, kodureo kahljaebi, anpalmok arae pyojeok-makki, sonnal keumgang-makki, etc. , and also modumbal as a stance. Actions should be practiced softly like water but continuously like a drop of water gathering to make an ocean. The poomsae line symbolizes the Chinese letter which means water.
