Taegeuk (for those who practice Kukkiwon/WTF TKD) is a set of forms for color belts. Alot of the philosophy however behind it is based on chinese philosophy as in the "I Ching" The Taegeuk is a set of eight trigrams, represented by three solid or broken lines representing everything between heaven and earth. Look on the South Korean flag and you'll see 4 of those representations. It's said that there is no begining or ending in Taegeuk and that it just is. If you actually draw out the taegeuk around a compass (each trigram has a representation on the compass) what you get is the Ying and Yang symbol. I forget the Korean terminology at the moment. I'm asking this question because I'm doing a little research for a paper I'm writing . . . right now I'm only scratching the surface which is basically all I know right now . . . but the ideas pertaining to the taegeuk I find are fascinating. Cheers
Found something Here, I just stumbled on this that may give you more of an idea what I'm asking about. Sorry it's small, but that's kinda what I'm getting at. . . however that is a bad representation because it's actually drawn out wrong. Which is actually fairly common and I'm not sure why yet.
