Po-Eun (Korean: 포은; RR: Poeun, Korean pronunciation: [pʰo.ɯn]) is the eleventh Taekwon-Do teul, as defined by the International Taekwon-Do Federation.[1] The pattern consists of 36 movements and is taught to students with the 1st dan (black belt) and necessary to know to obtain the 2nd dan.
Meaning
The pattern is named after Jeong Mongju (pen name Poeun), a statesman, diplomat, philosopher, and poet from the late Goryeo era.[2][3] He is best known for his opposition to the transition from the Goryeo (918–1392) to Joseon (1392–1897) periods, trying to reform Goryeo to prevent the collapse of the declining kingdom. Jeong's assassination by supporters of the rebel general Yi Seonggye, who would later become the first King of Joseon, was considered the symbolic end of the Goryeo dynasty.[4]
Number of movements
It is unclear why Po-Eun has 36 movements.[5] It could refer to the age at which Jeong visited China as a diplomatic envoy on behalf of Goryeo.
