San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo: Hangul

3/1/2010

0 Comments

 
Picture

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.

San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo: Um / Yang

We continue our study of the San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo with the red and blue fields in the center of the circle.

Um / Yang: Also know as Yin & Yang (Chinese) the symbol represents the duality of nature and the law of opposites.  It is used to describe how seemingly opposing forces are bound together, intertwined, and interdependent in the natural world, giving rise to each other in turn.  The curved line indicates that in nature there are no absolutes.  Lines separating opposing concepts or points of view are rarely sharply defined but are represented more correctly as gradual changes.  The effect is a balance of give and take that promotes harmony.

We continue our study of the San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo with the mountain peaks.

Mountain Peaks: The art of Tang Soo Do involves the development of the mind, body and spirit.  The three peaks in the San Kil Kwan Gi represent the three areas of development that we focus on in our training: Neh Gong (Internal Energy), Weh Gong (External Energy) and Shim Gong (Mental/Spiritual Energy).  By facing physical, mental and spiritual challanges students will improve their well being and self awereness.

San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo: Moo Do

We continue our study of the San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo with the gold kanji written below the mountain peaks.

Moo Do: The way of preventing conflict.  Moo = military, chivalry, martial; within the ideograph the inner part of the symbol is the word for "stop" and the long brush stroke on the outer part that looks like a sword means "weapon".  Do = "way"; while the character itself translates as "way," "path," or "route," or sometimes more loosely as "doctrine" or "principle," it is used philosophically to signify the fundamental or true nature of the world.

San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo: Chil Sung

We continue our study of the San Kil Tang Soo Do Logo with the star located in the upper right quadrent.

Chil Sung: The shape of the silver star in the Kwan Gi represents the eight directions of the compass.  The words Chil Sung translate to "Seven Star" and refer to the North Star, seventh star of Ursa Minor (the little dipper).  The star is used as a symbolic beacon for navigation in your training and in life.  The Chil Sung Hyung is a series of seven forms, created by Hwang Kee and introduced in 1952, designed to be an individuals path toward balancing Weh Gung (external energy) and Neh Gung (internal energy).  Used in our logo it also represents Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee's influence upon Tang Soo Do.

The words "San Kil" are Korean for "Mountain Path".  Before testing for your orange belt at OC School of Martial Arts you will be asked to write an essay about the meaning of San Kil Tang Soo Do.  What does a mountain represent to you?  What type of terrain do you think you encounter on the way to the top of a mountain?
