Pyongwon
Meaning : "Pyongwon" means a plain which is a vast stretched-out land. It is the source of life for all the creatures and the field where human beings live their life. The poomsae Pyongwon was based on the idea of peace and struggle resulting from the principles of origin and use. The new techniques introduced in this poomsae are palkup ollyo-chigi, kodureo olgul yop-makki, dangkyo teok-kireugi, meongye-chigi, hecho-santeul-amkki, etc. The jumbi-seogi is the moa-seogi wenkyopson (left over laping hands), whhich requires concentration of force in the lower abdomen, the source of body strength, as the land is the begining and source of human life. The line of poomsae means the origin and transformation of the plain.
