Taegeuk 1 Jang


 

Meaning : Taegeuk 1 jang represents the symbol of "Keon", one of the 8 Kwaes(divination signs), which means the Heaven and "yang". As the "Keon" symbolizes the beginning of the creation of all things in the universe, so does the Taegeuk 1 jang in the training of Taekwondo. This poomsae is characterized by is easiness in practicing, largely consisting of walking and basic actions, such as arae-makki, momtong-makky, momtong-jireugi, and ap-chagi. The 8th Ku-grade trainees practice this poomsae.
