He was reputed to have invented the first armored battleship (Kobukson) which was the precursor of the present day submarine in 1592 A.D. The reason why this pattern ends up with the left hand attack is to symbolize his regrettable death having no chance to show his unrestrained potentiality checked by the forced reservation of his loyalty to the king.Kama

Geumgang – Keumgang 1-25 Moves

Keumgang is the name of the most beautiful mountain in Korea, and is symbolic of the “Mountain Style” of Tae Kwon Do, from which it descended. It is also symbolic of royalty, as the double-wedging block (which is commonplace in this form) is similar to the Korean symbol for royalty.

Koryo
Koryo (Korea) is the name of an ancient dynasty (A.D. 918-1392) in Korea. The English word “Korea” is originated from the name of “Koryo” Dynasty. Koryo’s legacy to the Korean people is very significant. Koryo men invented metal for the first time in the world (1234), more than two centuries before Johannes Guttenberg (1398? ~ 1468), and also created the famous Koryo ceramics. Moreover, they showed great fortitude by persistently defeating the aggression of Mongolians who were sweeping the known world at the time. The application of the spirit of Koryo men into the movement of Tae Kwon Do is Poomse “Koryo”. Consequently, every motion of Poomse Koryo is the presentation of the strong conviction and will which Koryo men, held in check Mongolians, and, therefore, it can be one’s posture of cultivating himself in which he may follow the wisdom and unyielding spirits of the man of conviction.
