The 8th Poomsae TAEGUK PAL CHANG contains many basic movements and is the last TAEGUK pumse. From this pommsae we will pass to the superiors.
All the martial arts consist of basic and complex movements, actions that in their execution separately can be short but when joining several forms a great chain. The majority of martial arts, and especially Asian ones, have these movements to stimulate the learning of their practitioners. In karate, simple katas incorporate various techniques linked with others. Taekwondo, a Korean martial art, one of the most practiced in the world is no exception to this rule and it has poomsaes or pumses that are techniques of attack and chain defense to respond to hypothetical combat situations.
There are many poomsae, but there are two main categories; Taeguk poomsaes and superior poomsaes. We are going to teach you how to make the poomsae Taeguk Pal Chang.
This pumse or poomsae is characterized by its jumping techniques and double defenses.
The two shouts or kiap are made in each of the two jumps.
TAEGUK SEON CHANG is GON = Earth is strength, firmness and power.
The 8th poomsae is the official one for the brown belt to black belt 1st dan exam, since it is the one that the court asks for along with another poomsae taeguk that they choose for the test.
