Theory

1st Kup Theory Test
 


Introduction

Here it is vital that you learn to demonstrate control of your techniques without any loss of any power. Good attitude is more important than ever; you need to remain calm and in control of your emotions as well as your body, you must not lose your temper or panic if you make a mistake, you must remain composed at all times and show enthusiasm and determination even when exhausted. Your pattern is complicated and requires precise footwork. It contains your first flying kick and a difficult jumping 360° spin; it is important that you can perform both of these gracefully whilst easily maintaining your balance. Your 1 step sparring needs to show an advancement as you settle on your preferred style of self-defence, and the moves you choose must be sharp, powerful and practical. You must also be able to perform confidently all of the patterns you have ever learnt, all of the 3 step, 2 step and semi-free sparring you have ever done, as they could test you on any of it. Every aspect of your grading must have adequate and consistent power. It won't be an easy grading, that's for sure, but that Black Belt's worth it!

Theory

Pattern - Choong-Moo

  • 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 1592AD. The reason why this pattern ends with a 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.

  • Choong-Moo has 30 moves and begins in a Parallel Ready Stance

 

Miscellaneous

  • Reverse Knife Hand - Sonkal Dung

  • One Leg Stance - Wae Bal Sogi

  • Checking Block - Momchau Makgi

  • Downward Block - Naeryo Makgi

  • Sweeping Kick - Goro Chagi

  • Flying Kick - Twimyo Chagi
