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
-

-
Sweeping Kick - Goro Chagi
-
