Palmerstown Taekwon-Do

Pattern: Choong Moo

Movements: 30

Stances: Parallel Stance, Walking Stance, L-Stance, Fixed Stance, Bending Stance

Meaning: Choong Moo was the name given to Admiral Yi Soon-Sin of the Yi dynasty. He was reported to have invented the first armoured battleship (kobukson) in 1592, which is said to be the precursor of the present day submarine. This pattern ends with a left handed attack symbolising his regrettable death. He was never allowed to reach his full potential as he was forced to be loyal to the king.

Belt Meaning: The opposite of white, therefore signifying the maturity and proficiency in Taekwon-Do. It also indicates the wearer's imperviousness to darkness and fear.
