Hansu

Hansu refers to big water, the source that nurtures all living things. It represents

the birth and growth of life, sturdiness and gentleness, tolerance, compatibility, and

adaptability. “Han” has various meanings, including one, many, big, center, same, full, together, gather, moment, and long. It also signifies the sky and the root of everything. Consequently, the characteristics of water — an element that cannot be broken or cut — are applied to the Hansu Poomsae.

Its Poomsae line “水” signifies water, hangaram (the bloodline of the nation) and growth. Hansu Poomsae practice teaches practitioners to understand that every move is a technique of accumulating energy, not consuming it.
