Taebeak has 26 movements. This is the name of region of Korea where, according to legend,
Korean nation was founded more than 4300 years ago. This region is now Mount Baekdoo, but
the word Taebeak, still identifies the source of Korea, and the majesty of Mount Baekdoo, and so
it is associated with light, this being the source of life, and sanctity because the mountain is close
to perfection. This form is named taebaek because it is meant to portray these abstract qualities.
Black belts of the 3rd Dan are required to be proficient in this as well as the preceding forms.
