1st Grade Brown Belt

Form Name: Choong-Mu (pronounced : Choong-Moo)
Name given to the great admiral Yi Sun- Shin of the Yi Dynasty. He was reputed to have invented the first armored battleship, which was the precursor of the present day submarine in 1592 A.D. The reason why this form ends with the 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.
Theme – The belt color represents the trunk of a tree. A tree can continue to grow stronger and taller only if it has a solid trunk for support – the taekwondo student therefore, must also have a strong foundation to build upon.
