Taegeuk Yi-Jang (Pattern 2)

Tae - Symbolizes joyfulness and has 18 movements.

"Tae is of a spiritually uplifting nature. It is not aggressive but is serene and gentle instead. In compliance with these characteristics, the actions of this pattern should be performed with ease and fluidity; without the sense of struggling against your limitations, but living fully within them. Tae is symbolized by the image of a lake. It is the state in which one’s mind is kept firm, appearing gentle, allowing virtue to prevail."
