Attention (Cha-Riut)
Bow (Kyung-Nyeh)

Symbol
Kahm (Water) West, Second son. Water can move a mountain. The symbol kahm means the water, the origin of the life. Water symbolizes a constant flow and the ultimate flexibility.

 
Movement
The movements of this TaeGuk should be performed like water--sometimes standing still like water in a lake, sometimes thriving as a river. Not only must the techniques flow like water but the mind must be flexible as well.

 
Techniques
New techniques are single knifehand high section block, roundhouse kick, palm press block and pyunhee suhgi in the middle of the poomse. Special attention must be paid to the foot position right after executing the two roundhouse kicks.
