Tong Milgi

Tong Milgi (통 밀기) is a technique in taekwondo: log Pushing. Tong Milgi imitates someone pushing a log with both palms. The two hands rise from the lower abdomen (danjeon) to face height, palms facing up. Then they push slowly forward, as if they were holding a log and pushing it away. It is not a combat movement: in a poomsae, it is used for breath control and self-discipline. It appears in the poomsae Koryeo.
