About the form
Taegeuk Chil Jang embodies Gan (☶), the trigram of the mountain: solid, stable and immovable. It teaches commitment to both motion and stillness. Rapid advances end in sudden, rooted stops, and its blocks meet attacks head-on rather than deflecting them.
Taegeuk Chil Jang is number 7 of the eight Taegeuk forms, the colored-belt curriculum of World Taekwondo. It follows Taegeuk Yuk Jang. It precedes Taegeuk Pal Jang.
