Pattern History: Chung-Mu [忠武] was
the name given to the great Admiral Yi Sun-sin of the Yi Dynasty. He was reputed to have invented the first armored
battleship (geobukseon) 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. Additional pattern history information.
Number of Movements: 30
Step-by-Step Description of Movements: The
pattern begins when the instructor commands the student to come to attention (cha-ryeot). When given this command, assume an Attention Stance on the X on the AB
line, facing D. This is followed by the instructor stating the pattern that the student will perform (Chung-Mu teul).
On the command to assume the ready position (jun-bi), move the left foot to B to form a Parallel Ready Stance toward D. Remain in this parallel ready stance toward D until given the command
to begin the pattern.
When the command to begin the pattern is given (si-jak), perform the following individual movements in sequence. The pattern should be
performed according to the Guidelines listed in General Choi Hong Hi's Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, and presented in the section on
essential points
in performing patterns.

executing (half facing)
a twin knifehand block to B.
