The 6th pumse or Poomsae TAEGUK YUK CHANG pushes the student towards the middle of the lines. In this pumse or poomsae the scream or kiap is done in the middle of the exercise and not at the end as in the other poomsaes, specifically in movement 13 and 19.

TAEGUK YUK CHANG is GAM = Water

Poomsae or also known as poomse are different movements that are chained in an already established sequence representing attacks and defenses in a hypothetical situation. Thus each movement and technique has a space within the poomsae. Many martial arts experts link pomsae to karate kata, since they are not the same, they work the same concept and represent the practice of movements in sequence. Poomsae mean «form», a basic way of doing things.

There are two types of poomsae, the Taeguk poomsae and the higher poomsae. The latter have a higher level of complexity unlike the Taeguk poomsae who should be the first to learn the student. Taekwondo has a long and wonderful history but an important point is the appearance of two federations, WTF and ITF. World Taekwondo Federation participated in the collection and recovery of the Taeguk poomsae, these same Taeguk poomsaes come from the palgwe pumses, there are 8 taeguk poomsaes. The word Taeguk means balance.

Taeguk poomsae represent an important technical practice within taekwondo movements, knowledge in poomsaes is also necessary for degree and belt exams as they represent one of the pillars of taekwondo.

Poomsae Taeguk Yuk Chang is the sixth in the line of poomsae taeguk, in fact Yuk refers to number 6. This poomsae represents the GAM principle that refers to the fluid movement of water in most of its scenarios.

Practical scheme of the poomsae

COMPOSITION:

• Sequences: 23
• Movements: 31

What would be the sequence scheme?

Since every poomsae has a set order of movement, it begins with a bow showing respect for martial art and the audience. It is recommended to do stretches and muscle warm-ups to prepare the body, they also help mobility during the execution of the poomsae, since it will look more fluid due to the decrease in muscle tension and increase its flexibility.
