Inspired by the timeless balance of the Korean flag, the Taeguk Elements Shirt embodies harmony, strength, and unity. The four trigrams represent each of the universal elements and their guiding principles in life and martial arts.
 
☰ Geon - Heaven: creativity, strength, and leadership
☷ Gon - Earth: receptiveness, support, and endurance
☵ Gam - Water: adaptability, depth, and wisdom
☲ Ri - Fire: clarity, passion, and transformation
 
Together, these symbols form the heart of Hapkido - harmony between mind and body, student and master, action and stillness.
 
Black shirts must be worn in class, other color options are available for family members and casual wear.
