Ilyeo means the thought of a great
Buddhist priest of Silla Dynasty, Saint Wonhyo, which is characterized by the
philosophy of oneness of mind [spirit] and body [material]. It teaches that a
point, a line or a circle ends up all in one. Therefore, the poomsae Ilyeo
represents the harmonization of spirit and body, which is the essence of
martial art, after a long training of various types of techniques and
spiritual cultivation for completion of Taekwondo practice.

The new techniques introduced in
this poomsae are son-nal-olgul-makki, wesanteul-yop-chagi, du-son-pyo[two
opened hands]-bitureo-jabadangkigi [twisting and pulling], twio- yop-chagi
and the first stance of ogeum[knee back]-hakdari-seogi. Jumbi-seogi is the
bo-jumeok-moa-seogi [wrapped-up fist moa-seogi], in which, as the last step
of poomsae training, two wrapped-up fists are placed in front of the chin,
which has the significance of unification and moderation, so that the
spiritual energy can flow freely into the body as well as the two hands. The
line of poomsae symbolizes the Buddist mark [swastika], in commemoration of
saint Wonhyo, which means a state of perfect selflessness in Buddhism where
origin, substance and service come into congruity.
