The right training of Taekwondo is that you master skills in training of your body and complete your spirit in having the skills perfect, then, reach <Do> over distinctions in this entire process. All of these can be obtained enough in basic motions. This is possible because the basic motions, though simple, contains boundless principles. In the basic motion like this, nothing will be obtained if you ignore any factor no matter how trivial it may look. TAEKWONDO is very simple. It is in one, and in nothing more than one. A right principle shows itself only in exact motions.

Nothing must be ignored however trivial it may look because the meaning of a basic motion is multiple dimensional, so that that in one is not simple. If you ignore trivial things and train yourself with some interpretations on short knowledge you can get little from that. For example, the exact pose of Juchum Seogi consists not simply in keeping low pose nor is it confined within strengthening particular muscles on your legs. Turning your waist in Dollyeo Chagi is neither only for powerful kick nor only for farther beautiful kick. The implications of basic motions are in truth related to every skill and ideals of Taekwondo. Therefore, when you practice basic motions you should not go out of the every exact part always counting precise principles in it. The more important thing is infinite repetition so up to that you don't simply perform a basic motion but make yourself in the basic motion itself. How is it possible you make yourself in a motion? It would be boring to practice a basic motion a hundred times. But it would be rather interesting to practice it a thousand times, and if you continue your practice to ten thousand times you will obtain the naturality, and with further more practices you can get the entire Taekwondo. Then, you can make it that yourself is the motion itself.

There are some points you have to keep in your mind doing the practice of basic motions; distinctiveness, accordance and stableness.

What should be distinctive? Independence and relation should be distinctive, emptyness and fullness should be distinctive, and before & after, up & down ought to be distinctive. Distinctiveness comes from distinction. Since Taekwondo knows the ultimate nondistinctive realtiy transcending it to inside of daily life it affirms the illusion of distinctions over discernment of the true and false, and has the rightness of basic motion relying on its distinctiveness. This distinctiveness generates the foundation for everything to be kept in its proper place, which is the principle of basic motions related to the way of Sky.

What should be accorded? What you intend and what you see should be accorded, and sight and hand & foot accorded, and hand & foot and waist ought to be accorded. For this accordance tide, center's movement, and hand & foot should be accorded, and when you use kicks your foot and waist, when you use hands your hand and shoulder ought to be accorded. In this complete accordance of all you can get harmonized with the world having the opponent opposed in the relation, which is related to the way of Earth.

What should be stable? The center, the breath and the mind should be stable. And so, its balance ought to be settled with integrity of vitality and this is the not-losing yourself in continuous change, which is related to the way of Man.

In order to get all that you have to keep in the basic motions you should perform them with the big movement, the low centroid and the accordance with breathing.

You should make big movements, not because such big motions are actually useful but because you can obtain another important thing in such practices. The important thing is that you concentrate your whole even to a slight motion, and thus, you move always with your whole. When you get used to motion of moving with your whole you can make the distinctiveness, the accordance and the stableness with more ease. If you make big movements always in every motion you cannot but move as many parts of your body as possible also establishing that way of motion in yourself. And then, when these ways were settled completely as your own ways you can make any slight motion with your whole body.

You should keep your centroid low, because, just as a new sprout spreads its deep roots under the earth and then can grow upward high it is natural that you advance training from having your center firm to strengthening the whole. The center of your body can be firm through strengthening your waist and legs that support it, only then, even a slight motion can be powerful to suppress the opponent down. Every physical movement flows by way of waist from hands to feet and from legs to arms. This is why your waist and legs should be as firm as the earth if you, standing on the earth in the whole one of you and the earth, are to control over the opponent with the power of the earth's collision with your opponent.

And you should also be able to make every right motion of Taekwondo only with your breath. For Taekwondo motions are made as condensed expression of all biological process from inside of a man and the breath is the core of the life. A Taekwondo man moves in simple one, and in harmonized one. His breath and his motion are another aspects of same one. Therefore, if you make good breath you will see no hardness in every right basic pose. The good breath means not to breathe only with your mouse, nose, throat or lung but to breath with your whole body. When you make good breath the entire vital process will be managed properly in you with no unnecessary effort. The perfect poses and motions always need the perfect breath in each of them. Then the pose and the motion become alive by themselves.
