The ideal way among dynamic structures of the body
What is SoDoh?
SoDoh (So: small, Doh: step) is a very arduous/hard/difficult pose like a
bull/cow (in one word?) works. It shapes a bull/cow plowing so it is also called
“BattGarri (plowing).” SoDoh is the ideal way among dynamic structures of
the body to let one use his concentrated power naturally without any aftermath.
It is also known as "SoDoh Se."
How to pose
One advances the right foot two steps forward.
Turn the right heel outward to a 90 degree angle.
Angle the right knee 90 degrees down and inward.
Bend the left knee to 90 degrees, lifting the left heel also to a 90
degree angle.
The wrist at eye height should be curved inward as fully as possible.
The gaze is focused at the center of the wrist.
The feet are firm against the floor with power focused at the toetips.
The Benefits
SoDoh
intensifies power by generating NaeGi (inner Gi), mainly used for attack. It
helps keep the Gi well circulated in JokGeun (Jok:foot, Geun:muscle) GyeongMaek,
strengthening the urinary bladder, gall bladder, stomach, kidney, liver, and
spleen. The hand position in this pose stimulates the lungs in SuEum (Su:hand,
Eum:negative) GyeongRak (Gi channel) and the large and small intestine in SuYang
(Su:hand, Yang:positive) GyeongRak.
