Earth
The earth is one of nine planets. The planets should move in a straight line when there is no other force (Newton's first law) but they revolve around the sun because of the gravitational attraction pulling them into an ellipse.

The solid and broken bars in the eight image tiles in the top navigation are called trigrams. Each trigram represents a particular natural phenomena. If you click on a , it will take you to the corresponding taekwondo form page. Each form has a trigram which I describe scientifically and call scigrams. The animation in the middle of the tiles is supposed to represent a kicking woman. A tangram is a puzzle which originated in China. It is created out of seven flat polygons that can be put together to form shapes.
The movements are listed here so that you can see the Korean translation for some of the techniques by hovering over the green and pink highlighted text.
