                                        Please welcome and say annyong hashinmikka (a formal way of saying "hello" in korean) to new students who've joined us!

                                        (Note: the less formal version of "hello" is 안녕하세요 or annyeonghaseyo which we say during the opening of class to the instructor.)

                                        We'd love to hear from you!

                                        One of the requisites for advancing in rank is to write about your experience training in Tang Soo Do.  There are different topics for different belts.  As an Orange belt you are asked to write an essay to answer the question "What is your favorite aspect of training and why?"  The answer is different for each of us and varies over time as well.  So, we'd love to hear from you...What is your favorite aspect of training?  Choose from the list to the right or enter your own answer.  We'll post the results in a future newsletter.

                                        Self Defense starts with Self Confidence
