How to Bow Correctly and Why 03/01/2010
 Instructors bowing after practice Quite often you'll hear Sa Bom Nim explain to students and visitors that the rules of the school are written clearly on the wall. The second rule, Yei, means respect. It's actually the very first lesson taught when joining the school; it was when the instructor first asked you to bow before stepping on the training floor. Bowing in any martial art is a sign of respect and should be a sincere slow bow. It is sometimes more disrespectful to bow incorrectly than not to bow at all as this is a sign that you do not understand the reason behind the gesture. Some martial arts may differ but in Tang Soo Do you must always be in attention position when you bow. So make sure you have no gaps between your feet and your hands are placed smartly at the sides of your body. San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo: Hangul 03/01/2010
 We complete our study of the San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo with the red hangul, or Korean text, at the bottom of the logo. The hangul reads "San Kil Tang Soo Do". The use of hangul is to remind us of the Korean and Chinese heritage of the art and the historical influences that those cultures have played in the development of the art. The color red represents the fruitful result of those influences and the active (Yang) commitment of the masters and grandmasters of Tang Soo Do to carry on the philosophy and principles of Tang Soo Do as were originally developed and taught by the late Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee and their determination to further the traditions, refinement and growth of this martial art. |    About Us
