Taegeuk 6 (Yook) Jang: Gam - Symbolizes water and has 23 movements.
The dramatic expressions of Taegeuk Yook Jang are defined by the concept of gam – water,
flowing, shapeless, always true to its nature, incorporation all obstacles in its path in its own
sense of flow. It is important for the practitioner to recognize this as a type of confidence, of
always knowing whatever difficulties or hardships he/she may encounter in life, or in the practice
of his/her art, there exists no doubt of over coming them as long as he/she retains the qualities of
acceptance, flow, and natural integrity. This set of movements must be performed with fluidity,
and the feeling that every action is exactly what is called for to overcome the situation at each
particular instant. Students of the rank 3rd Gup are required to be proficient in this and the
preceding forms.
