(South, Father) The first Palgwe is the beginning of all forms. The associated trigram represents Yang (heaven, light). Therefore, this form should be performed with the greatness of Heaven.

Palgwe 1

mpk/forms-single

(South East, Youngest daughter) In the depths of the lake are treasures and mysteries. The movements of this Palgwe should be performed knowing that man has limitations, but that we can overcome these limitations. This should lead to a feeling of joy, knowing that we can control our future.

Palgwe 2

(East, Second daughter) Fire contains a lot of energy. Fire helped man to survive, but on the other hand had some catastrophic results. This form should be performed rhythmically, with some outbursts of energy.

Palgwe 3

(North East, Eldest Son) Thunder comes from the sky and is absorbed by the earth. Thunder is one of the most powerful natural forces, circling. This Palgwe should be performed with this in mind.

Palgwe 4

(South West, Eldest daughter) Wind is a gentle force, but can sometimes be furious, destroying everything in its path. Palgwe Oh Jang should be performed like the wind: gently, but knowing the ability of mass destruction with a single movement.

Palgwe 5

(West, Second son) Water can move a mountain. The movements of this should be performed like water. Sometimes standing still like water in a lake, sometimes thriving as a river.

Palgwe 6

(North West, Youngest son) Mountains will always look majestic, no matter the size. This should be performed with the feeling that all movements are this majestic and deserved to be praised.

Palgwe 7

(North, Mother) The associated trigram of this is Yin: the end of the beginning, the evil part of all that is good. Even in this darkness, there is still some light. Performing this Palgwe, one should be aware that this is the last Palgwe to be learned, it also is the end of a circle, and therefore it is also the first, the second, etc.
