Daejeok Cheokgeomse is the Meeting the Enemy Stance from the Korean manual Jedok Geom. It is an open stance with the sword on the right shoulder. The idea is that taking a threatening guard will negate any chance of diplomatic negotiation, so this gives a change for peaceful negotiation, but if they are hostile it has a strike readied and can bait them to come close enough for it to land swiftly.
All the videos in the Jedok Geom Techniques series are filmed from actual sparring bouts where the opponents are not aware I am trying to land these techniques. For this technique I had to do a stupid dance to get my opponent to lower his guard to land this technique. In all honesty, I am as surprised it worked as he is.
Always be aware of your surroundings and minimise harm to yourself, others and your environment. Never use weapons when intoxicated or upset or for any act of violence.
