OUI-AHM Hyung

Eui-Am is one of the 2nd degree black belt patterns used in ITF-style taekwondo. Eui Am is the pseudonym of Son Byong-Hi, a leader of the Korean independence movement in 1919 C.E. The 45 movements refer of this form to his age when in 1905 he changed the name of the Confucian religion Dong Hak  to Chondo Kyo(Heavenly Way). The diagram for this form represents his indomitable spirit while devoting his life to the prosperity of his nation.
