Nalgae Pyeogi

Nalgae Pyeogi (날개 펴기) is a technique in taekwondo: wing Spreading. Nalgae Pyeogi, or Wing Spreading, pushes both palms toward the sides, like a bird opening its wings. The two hands rise to the height of the chest and shoulders, fingertips pointing up. Then the elbows extend straight out to the sides. It is not a combat movement: in a poomsae, it is used for breath control and self-discipline. It appears in the poomsae Cheonkwon.
