Level 1 – 천(Cheon) – Heaven

1 – 거정세 (Guh-jeong-se) – High position, as if lifting a large pot above the head.

We draw the sword with the edge facing downward, stepping the left foot slightly forward, as if performing an upward cut (or deflecting the opponent's blade) through the center of the opponent's body.

Above the head, we tilt the blade slightly to the right and perform a straight downward cut until the blade is parallel to the floor, while advancing with the right foot. We take a step back with the right foot.

With the left hand we take the scabbard, turn it, and sheathe the sword.

2 – 과좌세 (Gua-jua-se) – Cut downward from left to right.

We turn the scabbard so that the edge of the blade faces upward. We draw the sword and at the same time cover our head from a frontal cut, while taking a small step with the left foot and turning the body in that direction. After deflecting the cut, we perform a downward cut from right to left.

We turn 90 degrees back to the original direction while carrying the sword over the left shoulder and perform a downward cut to the right, then continuously load the sword onto the right shoulder and perform a downward cut to the left (we advance with the opposite foot on each cut). We reverse the grip of the right hand and sheathe the sword.

3 – 과우세 (Gua-u-se) – Cut straight all the way through.

We place the right foot in front of the left, turning to the right while drawing the sword with the edge facing downward. We cut upward and to the right (or deflect a cut) while drawing, passing over the head and cutting downward from left to right. We turn the sword and hold it horizontally while turning to face forward again. We perform a cut of approximately 220 degrees while advancing the right foot. We reverse the grip of the right hand and sheathe the sword.

4 – 탄복세 – ( Tan-bok-se) – Thrust to the stomach.

We turn the blade to draw with the edge facing upward. We draw the sword and position it in the center while advancing with the left foot. We advance with the right foot while performing a deep thrust to the stomach, angling the edge slightly to the right.

We advance the left foot while carrying the sword over the left shoulder and perform a diagonal downward cut from left to right down to knee height.

We step the right foot back, then move the left one and return to the starting position.
