Tae Geuk Sah Jahng -- Thunder

This form represents Thunder which, with lightning, evokes fear but reminds us that danger, like a thunderstorm, passes as quickly as it comes, leaving blue sky, sunshine and rain-freshened air behind it. The practice of this form should help the student act calmly to threats of danger. When performing forms, you should not think of executing techniques in a vacuum, but rather responding to attacks from a number of opponents surrounding you.
