This fourteenth pattern is a long Traditional Taekwon-do form. There are 52 movements incorporated.

Official name
Choong-Jang is the pseudonym of General Kim Duk Ryang, who lived in the fourteenth century. This pattern ends with an attack using the left hand, symbolizing the tragedy of his death in captivity at the age of 27, before he had truly reached adulthood.

Additionally
Choong-Jang led his army against an overwhelming force of Japanese soldiers armed with modern weapons, while his army still fought with swords and bows. The army managed to hold its ground in the province of Honam. Ultimately, he was poisoned after being falsely accused of conspiring against his government.

Learning
One of the ‘first generation’ Tuls, and it is evident because it is full of liberations, hand techniques and feet that stamp. Remarkable is the situation where the Taekwon-do practitioner ends up on hands and knees. This does not occur in any other Tul.
