Blue Belt
Taegeuk Yuk Jang represents the symbol Kahm — the water. Kahm symbolizes the origin of life with the ultimate flexibility and a smooth, ceaseless flow. This form should be performed with techniques that flow smoothly like the water.
In addition to the techniques in Taegeuk Il Jang through Taegeuk O Jang, this form introduces a few new techniques:
- Single knife hand high blocks
- Roundhouse kicks
- Outward forearm high block
- Ready stance
- Breathing technique
- Palm blocks
Taegeuk Yuk Jang also involves complex foot positions; special attention is required after the two roundhouse kicks.
