Poomsae number one, Heaven: The spiritual awakening of creation. The beginning and infinite potential, bringing calmness, peacefulness, and serenity.
Poomsae number two, Lake: It is calmness with hidden depth, looking and venturing to find the mysteries and treasures within one’s heart, and calmness in the midst of storms.
Poomsae number three, Fire: The energetic passion and expansion of putting and placing one’s heart to build and gain strength, speed, and confidence.
Poomsae number four, Thunder: The awakening and sudden force, decisive, precise accuracy, having power, influence, and authority with physical, mental, and spiritual development, and natural force.
Poomsae number five, Wind: It is flexibility and adaptability, a fluidity in motion with gracefulness and gentleness combined with hidden, powerful strength. Instead of resistance, it creates resilience by moving around rather than resisting.
Poomsae number six, Water: It conveys the values of flow, persistence, and quiet power. Transitions from different patterns that have calm strength, are continuous, and have impact over time.
Poomsae number seven, Mountain: Stability and stillness, immovable against storms, wellgrounded and unwavering with patience, and rooted so that nothing shakes you.
Poomsae number eight, Earth: The values of completion, foundation, nurturing, return to simplicity with wisdom, well balanced and aligned as a wise, competent, and able person, having joy and confidence.
All eight natural elements in Poomsae make a person a better version of themselves through reformed practice, theory, and a sound individual trying to attain mastery through fighting in the process until a person becomes complete. Integrity, Strength, Justice, and Self-improvement are the General order of the way. This is why one has to fight from early hours to the last hour.
