Ilyeo

Ilyeo is a state of spiritual cultivation in Buddhism, which means “oneness,” or the

essence of the thoughts of Venerable Wonhyo from the Silla period of Korea. In Ilyeo, the dots, lines, and circles are unified. All techniques and moves are learned and performed differently. They are ultimately united with the mind and body to complete the practice of Taekwondo. Ilyeo Poomsae is based on this fundamental principle of martial art.

At this stage of practice, the practitioner learns how all movements occur and conclude in a state of detachment, beyond the artificial actions manifested through conscious thoughts.
