Water forms streams, rivers, and the seas, beginning from a single drop.
Water is quiet but also wild.

The application of waters nature, namely its fluidity and adaptability can be found in techniques and movements of TaeKwonDo. It should be the state in which one has discarded all worldly desires. The final aim of TaeKwonDo is indeed a discipline in which we concentrate attention to every movement, shaking off all worldly thoughts and obsessions.
