Saju Tulgi
The third four-direction exercise, taught less commonly than Saju Jirugi and Saju Makgi. It follows the same four-direction floor plan, but every movement is a middle elbow thrust (Kaunde Palkup Tulgi) performed in walking stance with 90° turns between each direction. Develops close-range elbow technique and hip rotation once the white belt Saju exercises have been mastered.
