About the form
Taegeuk Yuk Jang embodies Gam (☵), the trigram of water: flowing and gentle, yet persistent enough to wear away stone. Techniques connect fluidly, like water flowing around obstacles, and the closing backward steps return to the start like water flowing back to its source.
Taegeuk Yuk Jang is number 6 of the eight Taegeuk forms, the colored-belt curriculum of World Taekwondo. It follows Taegeuk O Jang. It precedes Taegeuk Chil Jang.
