Baro
At first this poomse looks pretty difficult, especially with the new stance and the mix of knife-hand and fist. Best thing to do is break it up into parts. This is where that odd looking symbol helps out.
As you keep practicing, you may start to notice this poomse is similar Taegeuk 2, with just an extra step for the last sides facing.
