Chonkwon Poomsae

By Sir Nathaniel 3X Rhine

 

The word "Chonkwon" means the Heaven's Great Mighty, which is the origin of all the creatures and itself the cosmos. Its infinite competence signifies the creation, change and completion.

Human beings have used the name of Heaven for all principal earthly shapes and meanings because they felt afraid of the Heaven's mighty.

Over 4,000 years ago, the founder of the Korean people, "Hwanin" meant the Heavenly King. He settled down in the "heavenly" town as the capital near the heavenly sea and heavenly mountain, where the Han people as the heavenly race gave birth to the proper thoughts and actions from which Taekwondo was originated. The Chunkwon Poomsae is based on such sublime history and thoughts.

The new techniques introduced in this Poomsae are nalgae-pyogi [wing opening], bam-jumeok-sosum-chigi [knuckle protruding fist springing chigi], hwidullo-makki [swinging makki], hwidullo-jabadangkigi [swinging and drawing], keumgang-yop-jireugi, taesan-milgi, etc., and a crouched walking manner.

The characteristics of movements are large actions and arm sections forming gentle curves, thus symbolizing the greatness of Chunkwon thought.

The Chonkwon Poomsae line "T" symbolizes a man coming down from the heaven, submitting to the will of Heaven, being endowed power by the Heaven and worshiping the Heaven, which means the oneness between the Heaven and a human being.

There are 27 movements in this second official World Taekwondo Federation fifth dan Black belt pattern.

Jitae Poomsae

By Sir Nathaniel 3X Rhine

The word "Jitae" means a man standing on the ground with two feet, looking over the sky. A man on the earth represents the way of struggling for human life, such as kicking, trading and jumping on the ground. Therefore, the Poomse symbolizes various aspects occurring in the course of human being's struggle for existence.

The new techniques introduced in this Poomse are han-son-nal-olgul-makki, keumkang-momtong-jireugi, and me-jumeok-yop-pyojeok-chigi only, and the Poomse line signified a man standing on earth to spring up toward the heaven.

The key point of this Poomsae lies in the movements which are derived from the harmony of willing power and strong muscles, just as the universal mind of the earth lies in the implicitness and vigor of life. Jitae Poomsae is the first official 5th Dan Black Belt pattern of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), and has 28 movements.

Sipjin Poomsae

By Sir Nathaniel 3X Rhine

 

The word "Sipjin" derived from the thought of 10 longevity, which advocates there are ten creatures of long life, namely, sun, moon, mountain, water, stone, pine-tree, herb of eternal youth, tortoise, deer, and crane.

There are two heavenly bodies, three natural resources, two plants and three animals, all giving human beings faith, hope and love. The Sipjin Poomsae symbolizes those things.

The new techniques introduced in this Poomse are hwangso-makki [bull makki], son-badak[palm]-kodureo-makki, opeun-son-nal-jireugi, son-nal-arae-makki, bawi-milgi [rock pushing], son-nal-deung-momtong-hecho-makki, kodeo-olligi [lifting up], chettari-jireugi [fork-shape jireugi], son-nal-otkoreo-arae-makki, son-nal-deung-momtong-makki, which comes to ten.

The Chinese letter meaning "ten" is the form of the Poomse line, which signifies an infinite numbering of the decimal system and ceaseless development.
