Guidelines for Tang Soo Do Training
Reverence for life is as important as offense and defense; our
basic charter charges all members to protect life, even that of an enemy.
Developing a reverence for nature with an emphasis on action are training goals
held forth by the character.
Ten Articles of Faith
Be loyal to your country; sacrifice yourself for your duty to
your country and your people.
Be obedient to your parents; children should be dutiful to
their parents and parent should be charitable to their children.
Be loving between spouses; love and affection develops
happiness and harmony in life.
Be cooperative between brothers.
Be respectful to your elders; protect the rights of the weak
with courtesy and modesty.
Be faithful between teacher and student. Learn the truth
through practice of duty and affection.
Be faithful between friends. Be peaceful and happy with
harmony and faith towards each other, regardless of race, and towards all
mankind.
Be able to distinguish between good and bad with fairness
and rightfulness.
Never retreat in battle; sacrifice for justice with
capability and bravery.
Always finish what you start. Move to action with sureness
and hope.
From Tang Soo Do written by Grandmaster Hwang
Kee
Matters that Demand Special Attention while Training in Tang
Soo Do:
1. The purpose of training should be the enhancement of the
mental and physical self. Nothing is achieved easily; if so, it would not have
any value.
2. Sincerity is necessary. You can do anything if you have
sincerity.
3. Effort is necessary. Even though we say that the martial
arts are good, we cannot show the great value of the art if we do not practice
it with effort. Only effort will enable us to reach our purpose.
4. Consistent schedule during training. You should have
purpose, hope and courage continuously, until you have reached your goal. Loud
talk, haughtiness and violence are not demonstrations of real courage.
5. It is necessary to train in the basic spirit of Tang Soo
Do. To know the true spirit of this art, one must train constantly, combining
knowledge with training systems and methods.
6. Do your best while training. You cannot develop your
full ability in techniques and you will lack in physical development if you are
lazy and do not exercise hard while you train.
7. Regularly spaced practice sessions. You will have good
results of you practice at a regular time each day.
8. Obey the word of instructors or seniors without
question.
9. Don’t be overly ambitious.
10. Pay attention to every aspect of your training. The
basic meaning of the martial arts is the development of complete mental and
physical conditioning. You must develop all aspects of the mind and body to be
truly skilled in the art.
11. Pay attention to the order of training. In training, there are some techniques which are easy and some which are hard. You should start with the easy ones and progress ot hard ones, from simple to complex in
the order of training.
12. Get instruction, step by step, in new Hyungs (forms) and techniques from instructors or seniors.
Do not take any aspect of training lightly. Develop strength and correct
posture. Learn how to use power; develop fast and slow techniques; develop focus
and breathing. These things are learned by repetitive training.
13. Overcome you feelings of idleness. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs after a period of
inactivity; develop good habits in training to overcome your idleness.
14. Cleanliness is a desirable trait.
