Moon-Moo Hyung - Tournament style

Moon-Moo Hyung, traditional ITF form for the 4th Dan Black Belt, for study of PMA Black Belts for tournament performance. Certain liberties have been taken with the timing, speed and kihaps, as well as stances in order to optimize the form for mixed karate tournament performance and to fit within the alloted ring size. Moon-Moo honors the 30th King of the Silla Dynasty. His body was buried near Dae Wang Am (Great King's Rock). According to his will, the body was placed in the sea "Where my soul shall forever defend my land against the Japanese." It is said that the Sok Gul Am (Stone Cave) was built to guard his tomb. The Sok Gul Am is a fine example of the culture of the Silla Dynasty. The 61 movements in this pattern symbolize the last two figures of the year 661 A.D. when Moon Moo came to the throne.
