Choong-Jang

52 movimientos

General Kim Duk Ryang (14th century). The pattern ends with a left-hand attack, symbolizing his premature death at age 27—a life and career unjustly interrupted.

Choong-Jang (충장) is the posthumous title of General Kim Duk Ryang (14th century), who was unjustly imprisoned and executed under the Yi Dynasty. His 52 movements represent the span of his military career. The pattern ends with an attack executed with the left hand, symbolizing a life and career cut short before maturity. It is a 2° Dan Tul. It introduces the double knife-hand low block (sang sonkal najunde makgi), the jumping side kick with rotation, and the single-leg balance position. Its long, angular diagram reflects the complexity of the injustice inflicted upon this hero.
