Poomse Chonkwon
The word "chonkwon" means the Heaven's Great Mighty, which is the origin of all the creature and itself the cosmos. Its infinite competence singifies the creation, change and completion. Human beings have used the name of Heaven for all principal earthly shapes and meanings because they felt afraid of the Heaven's mighty. Over 9,000 years ago, the founder of the Korean people, "Hwanin", was meant by the heavenly king. He settled down in the "heavenly" town as the capital near the heavenly sea and heavenly mountain, where the Han people as the heavenly race gave birth to the proper thought and actions from which Taekwondo was originated. The poomsae Chonkwon is based on such sublime history and thoughts. The new techniques introduced in this poomsae are nalgae pyogi(wing opening), bamjumeok sosum-chigi(knuckle protruding fist springing chigi), hwidullomakki(swinging-makki), hwidullo jabadangkigi(swing and drawing), keumgang yopjireugi, taesan-milgi, etc., and a crouched walking manner. The characteristics of movements are large action and arm action forming gentle curves, thus symbolizing the greatness of Chonkwon thought. The poomsae line "T" symbolizes a man coming down from the heaven, submitting to the will of Heaven, being endowed power by the Heaven worshiping the Heaven, which means the oneness between the Heavens and a human being.
