Choong Moo
A bit of black now colours the ends of my red belt. Every so often I dare to touch it, wondering if the day will come when that dream is fulfilled. Please pray for me!
Choong Moo is the black belt pattern.
“CHOONG-MOO was the name given to the great Admiral Yi Soon-Sin of the Lee Dynasty. He was reputed to have invented the first armoured battleship (Kobukson) in 1592, which is said to be the precursor of the present day submarine. The reason why this pattern ends with a left hand attack is to symbolize his regrettable death, having no chance to show his unrestrained potentiality checked by the forced reservation of his loyalty to the king.”
