Taegeuk Six – Yuk Jang
The symbol of water (‘kam’) characterises Taegeuk six, and means incessant flow and softness. Like water that always flows down, the movements here are fluid, flowing into one another. This image teaches us that difficulties and misfortune can be overcome if we proceed with confidence. The movements have been developed with this idea in mind, follow the flow of water; individual parts are bridged by kicking action of the feet.
