CHONKWON

7 Dan Black belt Poomsae

CHONKWON - Means the Heaven's Great Mighty, which is the origin of all creatures and the cosmos itself. Its infinite competence signifies creation, change and completion. Human beings have used the name of Heaven for all principal earthly shapes and meanings because they felt afraid of the Heaven's Mighty. Over 9,000 years ago, the founder of the Korean people, "Hwanin" (Tangun) was created by the heavenly king. He settled down in the "heavenly" town, the capitol, near the heavenly sea and the heavenly mountain where the Han people, the heavenly race, gave birth to the proper thought and actions from which Taekwondo originated. The poomsae Cheonkwon is based on such sublime history and thoughts. The characteristics of movements are large actions and arm actions forming gentle curves, thus symbolizing the greatness of cheonkwon thought. The poomsae line "T" symbolizes a man coming down from heaven, submitting to the will of heaven, being endowed with power by heaven and worshipping heaven, which means the oneness between Heaven and a human being.
