Eui-Am is the thirteenth pattern taught to ITF Taekwondo students (after Ge-Baek).
It 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.
There are 45 movements in this ITF pattern, referring to his age when in 1905 he changed the name of the Confucian religion Dong Hak to Chondo Kyo (Heavenly Way).
