Choong-Jang is the fourteenth pattern taught to ITF Taekwondo students (after Eui-Am).
It is one of the 2nd-degree black belt forms used in ITF-style taekwondo. Choong Jang is said to be the pseudonym given to General Kim Duk Ryang who lived during the Yi Dynasty (14th Century). This pattern ends with a left-hand attack, intending to symbolize the tragedy of his death at age 27 in prison.
