Koryo

Koryo means Seonbae, which represents strong martialism and upright scholarly spirit.

The spirit of Seonbae, inherited from GoguryeoꠓBalhae-Koryo, is woven into the Koryo Poomsae. Koryo is a compound word comprising “Ko,” which means “high,” and “Ryeo,” which means “elegance, union, and passage.” Ryo is also interpreted as “shining” and is commonly used to represent “dignified” and “splendid.”

After understanding the basic eight forces through Taegeuk Poomsae practice, Koryo Poomsae trains you on how to the wield power of a whole new dimension by combining Jeong (body), Ki (energy), and Shin(consciousness) — the fundamentals of the human body.
