Taegeuk 4 (Sa) Jang: Jin - Symbolize thunder and has 20 movements
Taegeuk Sa Jang applies the principles if Jin, which stands for thunder – the element of fear and
trembling which occasionally enters our lives. Because Taekwondo is compromised exclusively of
virtuous actions, Taegeuk expresses fear and trembling in the only way that virtue can – stoically,
as a passing thunderstorm that nourishes the soul. Virtue, therefore, defines fear as courage.
This form, as a consequence, contains many postures that display composure and strong
balance such as blocks in combination with strikes and, front kicks that require the performer to
kick with force but immediately recover into back stances. Students of the 5th Gup rank and
higher are required to master this poomse.
" Thunder and lightening are the objects of fear and trembling. This principle suggests that we
should act calmly and bravely even in the face of danger and fear. Then the blue sky and bright
sunlight will appear again. "
