Taegeuk Sam-Jang (Pattern 3)

Ri - Symbolizes fire and sun and has 20 movements.

"The sun causes fire. Man knows how to use the fire that gives light, warmth, enthusiasm and hope. So, the movements of this pattern must emulate the qualities of fire – that of flickering energy, of unpredictable pace and styling, and of quiet followed by great excitement or great passion – but continually moving, burning."
