Taebaek Poomse
Friday, October 9th, 2009The mythological story about the foundimg of Korea says that about 4300 years ago, the nation was founded in Taebaek by Dangoon. In the present day Taebaek is known as Mount Baekdoo.
Mount Baekdoo is considered the highest and most beautiful mountain in Korea, a symbol of Korea itself, and is considered sacred by the Korean people. Poomse Taebaek has its basic principles of movement from the word Taebaek which means light. Every motion of Poomse Taebaek should be displayed precisely and nimbly but also with rigor and determined will so as to be indicative of Taebaek itself.
Geumgang Poomse
Thursday, October 8th, 2009The word “Geumgang” originally meant being too strong to be broken. In Buddhism, what can break off every agony of mind with the combination of wisdom and virtue is called Geumgang.
Geumgang-seok in Korean means diamond - Geumgang in Taekwondo means movement based on spiritual strength that is as beautiful and majestic as the Diamond Mountains and hard and adamant as diamond.
The line and shape of the pattern corresponds to the Chinese Character for mountain. The Korean people named the most beautiful mountain in the Korean Peninsula Geumgang-san, which is located in the Taebaek mountain range. In the movement of Poomse Geumgang the sharp and endlessly changeable majestic spirit like that of the mountains should be displayed.
