Palgwe Eight "Pal Jang" Red Belt Form

The symbol of Palgwe eight “Pal Jang”  is Kohn, meaning earth.

Where all things originate and return to. Just as the earth holds all the basic elements of life, this form incorporates all the basic techniques of taekwondo. Just as the earth is the foundation for everything else, this form serves as the foundation for learning the upcoming Black Belt forms.

It is the last form to be mastered before Black Belt. It means the student should prepare for a new beginning; the end of a circle is the beginning of another.

The form is for the 1st Gup. There are 35 movements.
