Choong-Moo

Country: Korea
Style: Chung-Do Kwan Taekwon-Do
Movements: 30
Meaning: Named for the Admiral Yi-Soon Sin, who invented the first ironclad battleship (the Kobukson) in 1592; this was a precusor to the modern-day submarine. The fact that this form ends in a left-hand movement, signifies Admiral Sin's regrettable death in service to his King. With his forces checked, Admiral Sin was unable to show his true unrestrained potentiality.
