Definition:

Signifies danger, cautioning the student to exercise control and guarding the opponent to stay away.

Pattern or Poomse:

CHOONG-MOO (30 movements) was the name given to Admiral Yi Sun-Sin of the Yi Dynasty.  He was reputed to have invented the first armoured battleship (kobukson), which was the precursor of the present day submarine, in 1592 A.D.  The reason why this pattern finishes with left-hand attack is to symbolize his regrettable death, having had no chance to show his unrestrained potential checked by the forced reservation of this loyalty to the King.
