Our Sa Bom Nim 6th Dan, Ch'oe Ki Un, trained us, and as you can see here from our black belt test at Grand Master Hwang Kee's studio in Seoul, it was a great deal of work.
To the right, you'll see our last red belt test prior to the 1st Dan examination above.
Ch'oe Ki Un Sa Bom Nim's school is located in Kunsan, Republic of Korea.
Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan is not a sport - it is a martial art that was originally devloped by Hwang Kee Kwan Jang Nim.
"One who studies martial arts must purge himself of selfish and evil thoughts, for only with a clear conscience can he understand what he receives."
The purpose of Tang Soo Do is to achieve mastery of the mind through mastery of the body, so as to bring about resolution of conflict. We train in order to understand the responsibility that goes hand and hand with the proper application of the techniques.
"Learn to fight so that you know the importance of nonviolent resolution of conflict."
