Moon-Moo (Korean: 문무; RR: Munmu, Korean pronunciation: [mun.mu]) is the twenty-first Taekwon-Do teul, as defined by the International Taekwon-Do Federation.[1] The pattern consists of 61 movements and is taught to students with the 4th dan (black belt) and necessary to know to obtain the 5th dan.
Meaning
The pattern's name refers to Munmu of Silla, the 30th King of Silla and the first one to do so after the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.[2][3] Before becoming king in 661, he was a naval officer and diplomat.[4] He reigned for twenty years over unified Silla and posthumously received the nickname Dragon King.[5]
Number of movements
The 61 movements of Moon-Moo symbolize the last two digits of the year 661, in which Munmu ascended to the throne.[6]
