Ilyeo
|
Meaning : "Ilyeo" means the thought
of a great Buddhist priest of Silla Dynasty, Saint Wonhyo, which is characterized
by the philosophy of oneness of mind (spirit) and body (material). It teaches
that a point, a line or a circle ends up after all in one. Therefore, the poomsae
Ilyeo represents the harmonization of spirit and body, which is the essence of
martial art, after a long training of various types of techniques and spiritual
cultivation for completion fo Taekwondo practice.
The new techniques introduced in this poomsae are sonnal (olgul) makki, weanteul
yop-chagi, dusonpyo (two opened hands) bitureo jabadangkigi (twisting and pulling),
tiwo yop-chagi and the first stance of ogeum (knee back) hakdari-seogi. Jumbi-seogi
is the bojumeok moa-seogi (wrapped-up fists are placed in front of the chin,
which has the significance of unification and moderation, so that the spiritual
energy can flow freely into the body as well as the two hands. The line of poomsae
symbolizes the Buddhist mark (swastika), in commemoration of Saint Wonhyo, which
means a state of perfect selflessness in Buddhism where origin, substance and
service come into congruity.
