MEANING OF TAE-GEUK POOMSE
Tae-Geuk Poomse #7 (Tae-Geuk Chil-Jang, 2nd Gup)
Symbol is Kahn, meaning The Mountain
A mountain is the spirit of firmness and strength. At this level the practitioner's resolution for TaeKwonDo training starts firmly rooting in the heart. The meaning of self-improvement through TaeKwonDo becomes deeper daily. Therefore, it is recommended to re-examine all of the learned skills so that the base of your progress is strongly secured. You may experience some difficulties and obstacles mentally and physically. Effort is required to get through this stage. The new techniques are: low double knife hand block, palm press block, scissors block, knee strike, middle section opening block, cross hand block, side punch, tiger stance, and horse riding stance. Powerful and articulate execution is required in single movements and smooth transition in combination techniques.
