Meaning of Choong-Moo Pattern
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) which was the precursor of the present day submarine in 1592 AD. The reason why this pattern ends up with left hand attack is to symbolise his regrettable death having no chance to show his unrestrained potentiality checked by the forced reservation of his loyalty to the king.
Meaning of Black
Opposite of white, therefore signifying maturity and proficiency in TaeKwonDo. Also indicates the wearer's imperviousness to darkness and fear.
