The Taezus (in Chinese, Taiso) are prearranged responses to an attack. While these techniques emphasize speed, each movement must be distinct, purposeful, and exhibit fluidity of motion within the bound of proper form. When perfected the total time to complete each Taezu should be one and a half seconds - during a single kiai.
