Taegeuk 7 Jang

Taegeuk 7 Jang represents “Gan” in Palgwe. “Gan” symbolizes a strong mountain range with meandering ridges and the connection between mountains. It represents the spine, the flexion and extension of joints and vertebrae in the human body. A mountain is more than a pile of soil; it includes the flow of groundwater through its rocks. Mountain soil, rocks, and groundwater correspond with muscles, joints, and blood vessels and nerves in the human body, respectively. At this stage, you should train to exert force along with the efficient use of flexion and extension of joints and muscles.
