TaeGuk/Palgwe Forms Meaning
The student who discovers that TaeKwonDo Forms have meaning beyond the practice of the technical and rhythmical applications, discovers an avenue for the Martial Arts to impact the Mind and Spirit as well as the Body.
A very brief description of psychological attitudes in relation to the trigrams reveals a world of meaning hidden
the eight Principles we have been working on.
These are offered toward refining the performance and understanding of our "forms" .
These are taken from an article I previously posted.

Technique--Knowledge of Poomse--Attitude--Eye Focus and Precision--Posture and Balance--Timing--Power--Breathing and Kihop--Secondly I wanted to say a small piece about each Taegeuk Poomse. These characteristics allow the TKD practitioner to train their mental along with the physical, their mind along with their body. These are taken from the same article as above
1 Taegeuk Il Jong-- Heaven and Light--Perfection--Ease
2 E Jong-- Lake Joy--Perform Gently but Firmly-- Inner Firmness Outer Softness
3 Sam Jong-- Fire Sun Clarity--Perform Rhythmically with outbursts of Energy and Passion
4 Sa Jong--Arousing Thunder--Remain Calm and Brave when faced with Danger Great power and Dignity
5 O Jong--Soft Wind Tornado--Remain humble in mind Act Forcefully only if you must--Gentle Powerful Wind
6 Yook Jong--Flowing Water-- Proceed w Confidence when facing Difficulty/Hardship
The TaeGuk Forms each express a principle of Palgwe.

Taegeuk 1 (IL JANG) - A series of actions expressing the KEON principle of Palgwe. KEON represents heaven and light, which is the beginning of everything.
Taegeuk 2 (YI JANG) - A series of actions expressing the TAE principle of Palgwe. TAE represents
joyfulness so this should be performed gently but firmly. This principle teaches us that mind must
remain firm, but outwardly we must appear gentle.
Taegeuk 3 (SAM JANG) - A series of actions expressing the RI principle of Palgwe. RI represents fire and the sun. Fire gives us warmth and the sun gives us light, and both represent hope. It should be performed rhythmically, with some outbursts of energy and with passion.
Taegeuk 4 (SA JANG) - A series of actions expressing the JIN principle of Palgwe. JIN represents thunder. Thunder and lightening are sources of fear and danger. This principle teaches us that we must remain calm and brave when faced with danger and fear.
Taegeuk 5 (OH JANG) - A series of actions expressing the SEON principle of Palgwe. SEON represents the wind. While wind can be terrible as in a tornado, the nature of wind is gentle. This principle teaches us that we must remain humble in mind, and only act forcefully when we must.
Taegeuk 6 (YOOK JANG) - A series of actions expressing the GAM principle of Palgwe. GAM represents water and the principle teaches us that we must proceed with confidence when facing difficulty and hardship if we are to overcome them.
Taegeuk 7 (CHIL JANG) - A series of actions expressing the GAN principle of Palgwe. GAN represents the Mountain. It teaches us that we must attain the stability of the mountain. We must not act in a hasty manner and should know when to proceed and when to stop.
Taegeuk 8 (PAL JANG) - A series of actions expressing the GON principle of Palgwe, which is defined as the quality of being receptive. GON represents the earth, which is the cradle of life. It is the earth that embodies the creative forces of heaven.
