Basic Tang Soo Do Etiquette
Taken from the pages or our Student Handbook
- When a student is in a class line, they must ask permission before leaving line for any reason. To leave line, the student must first bow, then step back out of their line position (never step forward and never walk through a formed line of other students). The student must also ask permission to rejoin class before stepping back into line.
It may seem Difficult at First, but All things are Difficult First. – Miyamoto Musashi
Korean Word of the Week
Word: 존중 (jon-jung) Respect
Phrase: 서로 존중합시다. (seo-ro jon-jung-hab-si-da)
Let’s respect each other.
Respect means valuing others and showing it through your words and actions. It includes how you speak, how you listen, and how you treat people around you.
When You Bow to Bleck Belts, you are not bowing to individuals but to the generations before them who made it Possible! – Unknown
