Chonkwon

Chonkwon signifies the energy that nurtures all things, along with immutable laws, although the changes in nature and the universe are invisible. In other words, just like the laws of Mother Nature are not working randomly, people must also follow the rules of right mind and actions.

In Chonkwon Poomsae line “ㅜ,” the horizontal line at the top signifies the vast sky, while the vertical line refers to the power of light, which influences the land and its people, such as the sun, moon, and stars. Further, all things in the world, including humans, can exist only with the coexistence of centrifugal and centripetal forces. The world we live in will cease to exist if the balance of power, such as the pull and push between people, is broken.

Chonkwon Poomsae trains the body to follow the right mindset through steady practice and reach the state of Jihaengilchi — the unity of knowledge and action.
