KUKKIWON DEPUTY BLACK BELT FORM:
TAEGEUK PAL JANG (8)

Pal Jang is a series of actions applying the “Gon” principle of Palgue. Gon symbolizes ‘Earth’. The Earth is that from which all life springs, matures, and dies. Things take life from gon; they grow from it, drawing limitless energy from it. Gon is defined as being completely receptive. Its metaphysics is pure yang. The earth is where the creative force of heaven and light (keon) is realized into physical form. The earth is always wordless; it hugs and grows everything. This pal jang is the gup-holder’s last round of training, and a stepping stone to the way of a dan-holder. Here you review fundamental actions and concepts found in the previous forms. This is the platform from which the more advanced patterns can be studied.
