Taegeuk eight symbolises the \u2018kon,\u2019 which represents \u2018yin\u2019 (c.f. Taegeuk 1) and Earth, meaning the source of all life, the root and settlement, and also the beginning and end.\u00a0 Everything arises from the Earth, receiving its nourishment and energy.\u00a0 The creative power of the heavens is embodied in the Earth.\u00a0 Taegeuk eight is the last pattern a student learns on the way to becoming a black belt.\u00a0 These basic patterns are revisited, and practiced again and again, until they are polished to perfection.<\/p>\n
