Tae Geuk 4: Sa Jang Tutorial

Описание: Tae Geuk 4: Sa Jang, representing Jun, Thunder, performed full-speed, then slowly for instruction by Master Paul Rana of Prana Martial Arts.

Sa Jang is the 4th poomsae of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF or Kukkiwon).

Jun (Zhen – Chinese) represents thunder; to some, thunder is frightening, while to others it is joyful, especially if it heralds a renewing rain. Jun or Zhen therefore teaches us to obtain proper understanding of things. As a result you can remain calm and peaceful even in the event of the loudest thunder.

Zhen corresponds with the 51st Hexagram of the I-Ching: Zhen: Thunder over Thunder.

King Wen's Decision on Zhen:
“Taking Action.
Prosperous and smooth.
Thunder comes—alarm! Alarm!
Laughing and talking—ha, ha!
Thunder shocks a hundred li.
The sacrificial spoon and chalice do not fall.

Confucius' Commentary on the Decision:
"Thunder—Taking Action.
Prosperous and smooth.
Thunder comes—alarm! Alarm!
Being fearful brings good fortune.
Laughing and talking—ha, ha!
After that, there is a principle to follow.
Thunder shocks a hundred li.
It startles the distant and frightens the near.
Coming forth, he is able to protect the temple of ancestors,
And the state as well,
And take charge of all sacrifices.

Confucius' Commentary on the Symbol Zhen, Thunder over Thunder:
"Thunder is dual.
Action is doubled.
In correspondence with this,
The superior person with fearful mind
Is cultivating his virtue and examining his fault.
