Here is how we break down the Taegeuk series, from stance to strike. ## Photos and videos - ![A tutorial still for Taegeuk Sam Jang (Poomsae 3), required for the green-one belt. Each Poomsae introduces new stances and techniques, like the Han Sonnal Momtong Bakkat Makgi (single knife-hand block) shown here.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/200eda42-4579-482a-816d-8a93e6cb95ab) - ![This is a demonstration of a move from Taegeuk Ee Jang (Poomsae 2).

This is not for show. You have to watch your own *Ap Seogi* and *Dwitgubi* stances to correct them yourself. I do not let anyone advance to the next Taegeuk form until they understand the power behind every block and strike, not just the steps. Poomsae is the heart of Taekwondo. It is not just a performance of moves, but the foundation of your self-defense. When I teach, we focus on the Taegeuk series, where each movement has a purpose. We start with the basics in Taegeuk Il Jang and work our way up to complex patterns that require balance, speed, and absolute focus. ### Why We Practice Forms In my classes, you will hear me count: Hana, Dul, Set. This rhythm builds muscle memory. If you are ever in a situation where you need to defend yourself, you should not have to think about your stance. It should be instinctive. That is the goal of our Poomsae training. ### Grading and Progression Advancing from a white belt to a black belt at my academy is a rigorous process. It is not just about showing up to class. You will face a grading test that includes: * **Practical:** Demonstrating your Poomsae patterns with perfect technique. * **Written:** Understanding the terminology and history of the martial art. * **Breaking:** Showing power by breaking boards or tiles. I expect you to know your terminology. Whether you are learning the *Han Sonnal Momtong Bakkat Makgi* (single knife-hand block) or working on your roundhouse kicks, you are training to be a disciplined martial artist. We do not skip steps. We practice until it is perfect. ## About Sachin Kumar My name is Sachin Kumar, and I am a 4th Dan Black Belt. I do not just teach you to kick; I teach you to command your body.
