Trigram Links

• Eight Trigrams Chart for the I Ching (Book of Changes)
• Taegeuk Patterns
• Taegeuk Forms (Poomse's): Detailed Descriptions and Histories This site had a very nice and short explanation that I liked because I finally understood the relationship between trigrams and taegeuk. In short, the three (tri-) lines are either closed (yang) or open (yin). In Chinese, the unity of Yin and Yang is called Tai Chi and in Korean, this unity is called Tae Geuk.
• Tiger Taekwondo This page does a good job of explaining both the meaning of the trigram elements and describing the poomsaes.
