Pyongwon

Pyongwon signifies a large land that is widespread in all directions. This represents the preservation of life as the mother of living things and the foundation of life for humans, the primate of all things. The Poomsae was formulated based on peace and struggle, according to “Bon (main body)” and “Yong (use).”This stage can be considered transitional — from martial techniques to martial arts. Once you have mastered the basic Taegeuk Poomsae series in the Yugeupja course, you will learn Koryo, Keumgang, and Taebaek—the first batch of the Yudanja Poomsae. Subsequently, you will learn a step-by-step process to combine yin and yang by connecting Jeong (body), Ki (energy), and Shin (consciousness). In other words, the body can be used freely in various forms, including several changes through practice. The variety of changing moves implies that attack and defense are carried out unconsciously and that the body can return to its original calm state without agitation even after violent movements.
