Pilsung

by Pat Goltz

This was my creative form for my first degree black belt testing in taekwondo.

He Who Overcomes (Pilsung "victory")
Pattern is a cross, representing Christ, Who overcame death.
Heaven hands represent the Christian, who will also overcome death.
Fist to shield symbolizes the whole armor of God, described in Ephesians 6:11-18.
54 moves, 27 on each side, which is 3 cubed, representing the Trinity.
