PATTERN/FORM (POOMSE)
The poomse is a series of movements for offense and defense techniques which can be practiced and trained, even without presence of an instructor, in accordance with the fixed patterns. Therefore, the poomse has the merits, by its practice, to make the student and hence the Kyorugi (sparring) techniques and applied techniques including special techniques which can hardly be practiced by the training of each separate basic movement alone.
The poomse can be trained along the imaginary or drawn poomse line, which marks the position of foot and the line of direction to move along.

Meaning of the symbol The eight bar-signs (called Kwae) outside the circle are so arranged to go along with the Taegeuk in an orderly system. One bar means the yang the two bars the yin, both representing the creation of harmonization with the basic principles of all cosmos phenomena. The Taegeuk, infinity and yin-yang are the three elements constitution the philosophical trinity as mentioned in the Samil Sinko, the Scripture of Korean race. |
Poomse (Pattern or Form)
The Taegeuk poomse was established on the basis of profound
philosophy of Taegeuk to be trained by the Taekwondo beginners. Its poomse line and
seogi are based on the invariable basic thought of Taekwondo. The monism of Taegeuk
is the frame of this poomse, each Kwae being reflected in a pattern of Taegeuk poomse,
which elucidates the Taekwondo spirit and the profoundness of Taekwondo techniques.
