TAEGEUK O JANG

Choonbi Position
O Jang is a series of actions applying the "Seon" principle of Palgue. This sybolizes 'wind' (substance without noise). Wind changes directions and it's force without warning. Therefore, the principle of the pattern is one of contrast, the gentle movements contrasting the violent. "Seon" encompasses the characteristics of wind: gentle and strong; yielding and penetrating; soothing and destructive; invisible, yet manifesting. The concept of "Seon" is of a subtle nature, pure, without evil intent. It is a state of being, the state of being like wind. While there are extremely violent winds like typhoons, hurricanes and tornados, the nature of wind is gentle. "Seon" symbolizes the humble state of mind. It expresses repetitive good-natured actions. The wind proceeds, at times, gently and unchanging. Other times it is as forcefully as a storm. These changes must be balanced throughout the actions of this pattern.
