The Meaning of Taegeuk

Uhm and Yang, the blue and the red on Taegeukki (the Korean Flag), represent harmony of all life forces. The harmony becomes unbalanced and the stronger of the two overflows into the weaker creating an unbalanced state of Uhm and Yang. The state of balance and unbalance of the two forces constantly fluctuate throughout life. These constant changes however follow a certain orderly course without exception.

Taegeukdo

Taegeuk Poomses are designed according to the Taegeuk Principle. The opposing phenomena of nature are the main formula of the Taegeuk Poomse: challenge and response, offense and defense, attack and retreat, fast and slow, hard and soft.

The keys in practicing the Taegeuk Poomses are in managing the internal and external energy properly and performing with adequate breath, speed, and power control. Special attention must be given to the transitional techniques, by shifting the center of the of the gravity perpendicular to the ground, in order not to loose bodily balance. Each technique must be performed with complete focus and dynamic energy.

There are 24 traditional Tae Kwon Do forms. The significance of having 24 forms is that each represents one hour of the day.
