The 1st Hyong symbolises the root and translates Sky and Earth.
The Hyong contains 19 movements in all four directions. The first move is a block, which points to the fact that Taekwon-Do is used for defense and emphasizes the character of an art of self-defense. Through steady movements of feet and hands we are able to harmonize sky and earth, symbolizing mind and body. The hyong is kept simple and consists of two different types of blocks and one type of punch.
