Yoo-Sin (Korean: 유신; RR: Yusin, Korean pronunciation: [ju.sin]) is the seventeenth Taekwon-Do teul, as defined by the International Taekwon-Do Federation.[1] The pattern consists of 68 movements and is taught to students with the 3rd dan (black belt) and necessary to know to obtain the 4th dan.
Meaning
The pattern is named after Kim Yusin, the general of the Kingdom of Silla who united the Three Kingdoms of Korea in the 7th century.[2][3] Raised as a Hwarang warrior, Kim became the Commander in Chief of Silla in 629 and is remembered as a courageous and wise leader who was one of the driving forces behind the unification of the Korean kingdoms.[4][5]
Number of movements
The 68 movements in Yoo-Sin refer to the last two digits of the year 668, in which Silla, Goguryeo, and Baekje united.[2]

Trivia
- Yoo-Sin is one the teul that refers to the Kingdom of Silla, next to Won-Hyo, Hwa-Rang, and Moon-Moo.
- The ready stance represents a sword on the right side instead of the (regular) left side, which symbolizes Kim Yusin's mistake of following his king's orders of collaborating with the foreign Tang army to fight against his own nation.[2]
