Choong-Moo 30 Moves
Choong-Moo was the name given to the great Admiral Yi Sun-Sin of the Yi 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.
