The Korean Tae Kwon Do Acaemy
Theory of Taeguk Poomsae
By Master Paul Mollins

Jitae "Life":


The word "Jitae" means a man standing on the ground with two feet, looking over the sky. A man on the earth represents the way of struggling for human life, such as kicking, trading and jumping on the ground. Therefore, the poomsae symbolizes various aspects occurring in the course of human being's struggle for existence. The new techniques introduced in this poomsae are han-son-nal-olgul-makki, Keumgang-momtong-jireugi, and me-jumeok-yop-pyojeok-chigi only.

The form's pattern is of the form of a Korean vowel "oh" and signifies a man standing on earth to spring up toward the heaven.
