Jitae


 

Meaning : The word "jitae" means a man standing on the ground with the two feet, looking over the sky. A man on the earth represents the way of struggling for human life, such as kicking, treadding and jumping on the ground. Therefore, the poomsae symbolizes various aspects occurring in the course of human being's struggle for existence. The new techniques introduced in this poomsae are hansonnal olgul-makki, keumgang momtong-jireugi, and mejumeok yop pyojeok-chigi only, and the poomsae line signifies a man standing on the earth to spring up toward the heaven.
