(See the article Taegeuk for additional detail regarding the symbolism of this form.) This poomsae is characterized by its simplicity. Most of the stances are simply Walking Stances. The Front Stance (aka Long Stance) is also introduced however, to teach the student how to shift from one stance to the next. The techniques seen in this form are basic techniques such as low blocks (aka downward blocks, or arae-makki), middle blocks (aka inward or inside blocks, or wmomtong-makki), middle punch (momtong-jireugi), and front snap kicks (aka front kick, or ap-chagi). All of the turns are simple 90 degree or 180 degree turns (none of the more difficult 270 turns that you see in later forms). Normally 8th Gup grade trainees practice this poomsae.
