Yong-Gae

49 movimientos

General Yong Gae So Mun of the Koguryo Dynasty. The 49 movements allude to the year 649 A.D. when he successfully defended against invasions by the Tang Empire.

Yong-Gae (연개) honors General Yon Gae Somoon of the Koguryo Dynasty, who defended Korea from invasions by the Tang Dynasty. Its 49 movements represent 649 A.D., the final year of the great defensive battles. The straight diagram reflects Koguryo's fortified frontier. It is a 4th Dan Tul. It introduces the open knife block (sonkal collo makgi), the double reverse kick in flight, and the first sequence with deliberate rhythm change (slow-explosive-slow). Its execution demands depth of stance: each step descends more than usual, simulating the weight of defensive armament.
