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.
