Name.......................Hwa-Rang(2R&2D).

Number of movements.......29

Definition...........................Hwa-Rang is named after the Hwa-Rang youth group which originated in the Silla Dynasty about 1350 years ago. This group eventually became the actual driving force for the unification of the three kingdoms of Korea. The 29 movements refer to the 29th infantry division where Tae Kwon Do developed into maturity. (This pattern has 29 movements).

Name.......................Choong Moo (1R&1D).

Number of movements.......30

Definition...........................Choong-Moo was the given name of 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 A.D. 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 reservations of his loyalty to the king.
