The word "Chonkwon"
means the Heaven's Great Mighty, which is the origin of all the creature and
itself the cosmos. Its infinite competence signifies the creation, change and
completion. Human beings have used the name of Heaven for all principal
earthly shapes and meanings because they felt afraid of the Heaven's mighty.
Over 4,000 years ago, the founder of the Korean people, "Hwanin"
meant the heavenly King. He settled down in the "heavenly" town as
the capital near the heavenly sea and heavenly mountain, where the Han people
as the heavenly race gave birth to the proper through and action from which
Taekwondo was originated. The poomsae Chunkwon is based on such sublime
history and thoughts

The new techniques introduced in
thtis poomsae are nalgae-pyogi [wing opening], bam-jumeok-sosum-chigi
[knuckle protruding fist springing chigi], hwidullo-makki [swinging makki],
hwidullo-jabadangkigi [swinging and drawing], keumgang-yop-jireugi,
taesan-milgi, etc., and a crouched walking manner.

The characteristics of movements
are large actions and arm sections forming gentle curves, thus symbolizing
the greatness of Chunkwon thought. The poomsae line "T" symbolizes
a man coming down from the heaven, submitting to the will of Heaven, being
endowed power by the Heaven and worshiping the Heaven, which means the
oneness between the Heaven and a human being.
