About
Dwi kkoa seogi (English: rear cross stance) is, in Kukkiwon terminology, one of two forms of the crossed stance kkoa seogi, where the feet cross while stepping or turning. Dwi means behind: the moving foot lands behind the standing foot, while in ap kkoa seogi it lands in front. In Taegeuk Oh Jang it appears once, with a backfist strike and a kihap shout; in Taegeuk Chil Jang twice, with the double reverse-fist strike du jumeok jeocheo jireugi. The Taekwondo Compendium distinguishes both: in Taegeuk Oh Jang the front foot points about 30° inward and the rear shin presses the front calf; in Taegeuk Chil Jang the front foot points about 30° outward so the hips face forward.
