I'm surrounded by many enemies. There is no escape. Where can I escape to? I just escape to somewhere beyond the restriction of existence, only to inside of myself. I forget everything to immerse myself in the state of non-me(Mu-a, ) with skilled motions and hide myself. Just as I transcend to inside of life over every denial to its reality I have to hide myself to my inside from many enemies. It is the most reasonable escape from reality. And this is not to avoid but to face the opponent controling him, which can be nothing else. In this state of immersion to inside of myself I can see the world of dance in relation to Taekwondo. Dance is not different from Taekwondo after all.

Therefore, not only in performance of dance but also in that of Taekwondo poomsae, although each movement looks separated from another to be completely distinct one in every moment of serial time, each actually interacts and cooperates with anothers in a poomsae. Therefore, doing this motion leads doing that one and is accompanied by not this sort but that sort of motions in poomsae. Because of this, a poomsae both can be divided into each movement and cannot be distinguished such at once, which is why poomsae differs from basic motion.

The principles of relating motions in Taekwondo poomsae can be categorized in two kinds comprehensively; one is to keep incomplete in completion and the other to keep complete in incompletion. In case you keep incomplete in completion each sequence of fragmentary movements achieves its own complete meaning having some independency from their entire system. This individuality of each part in a poomsae makes the whole incomplete, so it is said to keep incomplete in completion since each motion gets its completeness by itself not having its multitude fully melted in one whole. In case you keep complete in incompletion every movement is related to another in a flow as one, so no movement and no pose gets its own complete meaning out of the flow, i.e. out of sequence of the poses. Instead, this restriction of each movement on another generates the entire harmony and an incomplete motion gets its meaning only in the whole flow, so each movement achieves its complete meaning in that it includes the whole structure and possibility of change. Thus, it is said to keep complete in incompletion.

The incomplete motion in completion of poomsae is felt separated in every movement and joint, where you can see the sharpness of cutting each part of empty space by a sword and the rhythme of fierce explosion in every moment. These are for the completion to control over the opponent in every movement. Once there is a filling, however, there also follows an emptying, so you should keep incomplete in completion to get rid of self-restriction. The complete motion in incompletion of poomsae takes the form of continuous flow of motions with no break, which unavoidably shows itself with natural weightiness of filling the entire empty space and continuously flowing rhythme. These are for the meaning completion of each to control over the opponent in the whole combination of each independent motion, and so, the whole related to a motion lies in each since it has open meaning in its formal incompletion. It is complete.

Getting mastery of motions to keep complete in incompletion in practice of poomsae you come to learn how to harmonize a part in whole not merely as a part but as one of its whole, and practising motions to keep incomplete in completion you can learn how to harmonize a part in whole not merely as a part of the whole but as one which includes and reflects its whole. No matter whether of completion in incompletion or of incompletion in completion, the end of mastery appears as a perfection which is neither completion nor incompletion, which is also both of them at once, and it has no figure.
