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.
