PHILOSOPHY OF PAL JUNG DO JUNBI’S (Poomsae Ready Position)

Wednesday, 15 February 2012 07:50 |

Written by Master Katey Wallace |

In oriental philosophy all parts of the body are linked like a chain. Hence, all bodily functions are represented on the hands and feet. By touching certain parts of your hands and using correct abdominal breathing, energy can be transferred to strengthen the relevant internal organs.

Instead of the traditional ready position at the start of a poomsae, Pal Jung Do uses a unique stepping-breathing exercise which gradually becomes more advanced depending on the level of poomsae. All eight of these exercises are designed to strengthen different internal organs and your mind.

In the table below are the names and meaning of the poomsae and which vital organs they help strengthen.

Pal Jung Do Poomsae	Foot that moves from attention position	Vital Organ	Meaning
Jung Shim	Left	Lungs	Righteous Spirit
Jung Eui	Right	Large Intestines	Righteous Loyalty
Jung Shin	Right	Stomach	Righteous Faith
Jung Nyum	Left	Spleen	Righteous Thought
Jung In	Right	Gallbladder	Righteous Generosity
Jung Hyo	Left	Liver	Righteous Filial Piety
Jung Haeng	Left	Heart	Righteous Action
Jung Do	Right	Small Intestines	Righteous Path

Just to let everyone know, I have found a new Dojang on Faverdale Industrial Estate. The hall is a lot nicer and most of our other Kim Chung Do Instructors have moved there, so it will become our full time Dojang.

I am only moving FRIDAY's LESSON. same time 6.30-7.30pm. Tuesday's lesson will stay the same.

FIRST lesson is a week on Friday, on the 3rd FEBRUARY.

Address: Unit 1-5 Faverdale Industrial Estate North (next to Arriva bus depot) , Darlington DL3 0PP

If you have any problems with the location, I can explain, just come and ask.

Kind regards

The dates are listed below for the full year so there are no excuses for double booking yourselves.

Instructors please pass this on to all your red belts and above.
