| So San is the pseudonym of the great monk Choi Hyong Ung ( 1520 – 1604 ) during the Yi Dynasty. The 72 moves refer to
his age when he organized a corps of monk soldiers with the assistance of his pupip Sa Myung Dang. The monk soldiers helped repulse the Japanese pirates who overran most of the Korean peninsula in 1592. This pattern is practised by the 5th Degree black belt |
