TAEGEUK SAM JANG

Choonbi Position
This pattern is associated with the properties of "Ri", meaning 'fire' or the 'Sun'. When practiced it should be done with the energy and enthusiasm that can be felt from the "Ri". A burning fire brings us light, heat, enthusiasm, and hope. The movements of this form were intended to pay tribute to those qualities of fire that of a flickering energy, of unpredictable pace and styling, and of quiet followed by great excitement and passion -- but continually moving, burning. Sam Jang's actions, accordingly, should be performed with variety and passion. Actions of hands, feet, and body are successively used in defense. These actions help us attain briskness when we execute attacks. The movements associated with this form demand a variety of quickness and strength.
