Choong-Moo

Diagram: Capital “I”

Pattern Details: Video

Beginning Ready Stance: Open Parallel Ready Stance

Number of Movements: 30

Pattern Meaning: Choong-Moo was the name given to the great Admiral Yi Sum-Sin of the Yi Dynasty. He was reputed to have invented the first armored battleship (Kobukson) in 1592, which is said to the precursor to the modern day submarine.

The reason for the pattern ending with a left-hand attack is to symbolize his regrettable death. Checked by the forced reservation of his loyalty to the king, Yi Sun-Sin was given no chance in his lifetime to show his unrestrained potentiality.
