KEUMGANG has the original meaning of “being too strong to be broken ”. Also, in Buddhism, what can break off every agony of mind with the combination of wisdom and virtue is called “Keumgang”.
The Korean people have named the most beautiful mountain in the Korean peninsula Keumgang-San which is located in the Taebaek range of mountains, and call diamond, the hardest known substance, Keumgang-Seok.
Accordingly, Keumgang in Taekwondo means movement based on spiritual strength that is as beautiful and majestic as the Diamond Mountains , and as hard and adamant as the diamond.
Keumgang poomse is the official 2nd Dan black belt pattern of the World Teakwondo Federation (WTF). The movements should reflect the majestic spirit of the Diamond mountains. There are 27 sequences or movements to this poomsae.
