Forms

Taegeuk Pal Jang (8th) - Earth, symbolizes the "Kon", one of the 8 divination signs, which represents "Yin" and earth, meaning the root and settlement and also the beginning and the end. This is the last of the 8 Taegeuk poomsaes, which may enable the trainees to undergo the evaluation for Dan(black belt) promotion test. New movements are Double Front Kick, Augmented Outward Middle Section Block, Augmented Low Section Block, Jumping Front Kick, and Elbow Strike, Emphasis must be laid on the accuracy of stepping and the difference between jumping-over kick and alternate jumping kick in the air.

Chung Mu - Admiral Yi Sun-Sin. The form ends with a left hand attack symbolizing his regrettable death having no chance to show his unrestrained potential checked by the forced reservation of loyalty to his king.
