Taegeuk Three – Sum Jang
Taegeuk three is symbolized by ‘ra,’ the sign of fire. This element encourages trainees to harbour a sense of justice and ardor for training. Through intelligence, humans were able to tame fire. Fire gives warmth and light to us; it excites us and gives us hope and confidence; but it also awakens passion, fear, and panic in us.
