An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Each taegeuk form is represented by a trigram (such as ☱); trigrams are divination symbols derived from the I Ching. The trigram for Taegeuk Yi Jang represents the concept of "Tae." (Note: the word tae here is not the same as the tae in taekwondo.) Tae is said to symbolize "inner firmness and outer gentleness," the archetype being a river or lake: gentle and flowing at the boundaries, but firm and resolute underneath. The idea is that movements in this form should be fluid, and yet be performed firmly, with good control. (See the article Taegeuk for additional detail regarding the symbolism of this form.)

Students shift from Walking Stance to Front Stance more frequently in this form than in Taegeuk Il Jang; the Front Kick is also introduced -- the idea is that these will teach the student balance and proper stances, strengthening the muscles of the legs. Normally 7th Gup grade trainees practice this poomsae.
