“Mountain” - GAN.  Mountains can range in size from a small hill to the tallest apex on the planet earth.  Regardless of their physical size, all mountains share the same grandeur and majesty.  Taegeuk seven should be performed with the feeling that your movements deserve the highest praise and esteem.

In order to develop good hand techniques, you should pay attention to the position of both hands with every technique.  Particular attention should be paid to pulling the second hand back close to the side of the body with the palm facing upwards.  Practice these points diligently.
