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.
