Taebaek · 태백

Taebaek is the 'bright mountain' (Baekdusan), the holy mountain of Asadal where the legendary Dangun founded the first Korean kingdom, a symbol of sacredness and the source of the Korean spirit. Its floor line traces 工: heaven and earth joined by the person.

Taebaek is the third of the nine Yudanja forms, the black-belt curriculum of World Taekwondo. It follows Keumgang and precedes Pyongwon.
