Taegeuk 8 jang


 
Meaning : Taegeuk 8 jang symbolizes the "Kon", one of the 8 dinivation signs, which represents "yin" and earth, meaning the root and settlement and also the beginning and the end. This is the last of the 8 Taegeuk poomsaes, which may enable the trainees to undergo the Dan(black belt) promotion test. New movements are dubal dangsong bakkatpalmok momtong kodureo bakkat-makki, twio-chagi, and palkup dollyo chigi. Emphasis must be laid on the accuracy of stepping and the difference between jumping-over kick and dubal-dangsong (alternate jumping kick in the air). The 1st Kup-graders practice this poomsae.
