KUKKIWON RED BELT FORM:
TAEGEUK YUK JANG (6)

This pattern applies the principle of “Gam”, or ‘water’. Water is liquid and formless. Water never loses its nature. It flows around and absorbs all things. The stone dropped into the lake sinks through it without resistance, leaving the water untroubled. It always flows downward. This principle teaches the lesson that we can overcome difficulties and hardship if we go forward with self-confidence. No matter what troubles we face or encounter in life, there exists no doubt of overcoming them as long as we retain the qualities of acceptance, flow, and natural integrity. This set of movements must be performed with fluidity, and the feeling that every action is exactly what is called for to overcome the situation at each particular instant. Actions of this pattern resemble the nature of water, such as the passing over of disconnection through kicking.
