Welcome to our Studio As Head Instructor of King’s Martial Arts, it is an honor to share Tae Kwon Do with my students and their families and see their lives change in many positive ways. It is my goal to have my students pass along to the generations that follow, the same love and dedication I have for this wonderful art form. It should be every student’s desire to be an ambassador for Tae Kwon Do so that this ancient martial art never losses its importance; only grows with knowledge and strength in numbers! Sometimes we look to better ourselves through books and other people. All of these avenues can be helpful, but the bottom line is you must believe in yourself in order to learn and grow in life! It is our business here at King’s Martial Arts is to help you to focus on the things that will help you to grow in strength, physically and mentally. Here are a few things to challenge. So, why do we train in Tae Kwon Do? 1. To protect ourselves. 2. To protect our families. 3. To get into shape so that we can enjoy life to its fullest. Our main goal at our academy is to “Commit to Excellence.” We will do this by giving one hundred percent of ourselves to our students. All that we ask is the same. I encourage you to call me anytime and ask questions. We can be reached at 408-314-6287 May God bless you and your family. Master King

KING’S MARTIAL ART’S Teaching Philosophy Our studio is unique in many ways… We will not let students into our academy who do not have good intentions. This is for the safety of everyone. We do not believe in treating students with disrespect. We expect the same in return. Our goal is to build up students’ ability both mentally and physically. Students are encouraged to try their best. If students cannot keep up with the class, they can ask to rest. There is no shame in resting. We teach with positive encouragement. An example would be to help the student and give them a high five or tell them great job! As you may have noticed, our studio does not display many trophies despite the fact that we have many students who have won in tournaments. Our belief is that trophies in the window do not make the studio successful. The students with their great attitudes do! All black belts are certified through the World Tae Kwon Do Federation (WTF) in Korea. This is very important. It is like having a mail order degree from college verses going to an accredited college. Some of the benefits of having a legitimate certificate from the WTF are: − You can go to any WTF studio and keep your same ranking. − You can become certified as a referee and have the chance to be certified for the Olympics. − You carry the confidence, knowledge, and support from Korea. − You know you are a black belt; it is real and not a phony. − If you ever visit Korea, you can visit the World Headquarters also known as the “Kukiwon.”

New Student Information Questions: Write Master King at [email protected]

How to show respect: When students come into the school, please bow to the senior belts, i.e., especially the black belts. When a black belt is sitting in the office or behind the counter, students must stop and bow to show respect. When students enter the Dojang (Korean term for studio or training hall): Students must bow at the doorway. When bowing, have feet together and look six feet in front of you while looking at the ground. Take your time when bowing. Do not rush the bow. It is a sign of respect. What do you wear in the training hall? Students must wear the uniform KING’S MARTIAL ARTS sell. Any t-shirts worn in class must have the KING’S MARTIAL ARTS logo. T-shirts that do not have the approval of the instructor may not be worn in class. Preparing for a test: All students are tested on things that have been taught in class. If, however, you were not taught a movement in class that is on your test, please tell the person that is testing you. You will not be tested on that movement. All students are given a “Test Sheet” one week prior to testing. Test fees must be paid no later than the day of testing. Failure to do so will result in a delay of receiving advancement. Looking through this handbook will help you to understand what you will be tested on. We also have a KING’S MARTIAL ARTS Video’ on the web that is available for you. Day of the test: Students are tested in a group to create less stress. The test should be fun. Students can take their first white I stripe test if they are with King’s Martial Arts for a minimal of two weeks. Students find out if they passed by the following week.

4

How to receive your rank: During class students sit in one or two lines. Students are then called up to receive their rank. When your name is called, answer with a loud, “Yes Sir!” Stand at attention and wait for your stripe to be placed on your belt (strips go on the left side of the belt) then bow to the instructor and say, “Thank you Sir.” If you are receiving a belt, bow and shake hands with the instructor. At the same time, the instructor will hand you your belt. NOTE: Always look at the eyes of the instructor when you say, “Thank you.” What to do after you receive a color belt: When students pass, he/she should first thank their parents. If you tested for a belt, write your name and check the appropriate box that has the color rank that you tested for on the list located at the counter. Please print clearly or your rank certificate will not be printed. Conflict within the school: If at any time you are mistreated by staff or students, talk to them. If the problem isn’t resolved, talk to BSBN Maria. The goal of the school is for everyone to get along.

Stumbling blocks are a way to improve your perseverance ……………

The most common questions asked at our KING’S MARTIAL ARTS School are… Are my kids going to become more aggressive? No. Kids learn how to control themselves through the discipline and care we give them. My child is too timid. Can you help him? Yes. We work with kids and grown-ups to become more confident through the knowledge in martial arts. Will I get hurt? This is a contact art form. We will not let kids and grown-ups get hurt due to lack of supervision. Students train at their own pace to ensure safety. How long will it take to get my black belt? Approximately 4-6 years. Since achieving a black belt is not a race, you will be encouraged to go at your own pace. Black belt is the goal; there is no time limit. Why don’t I wash my belt? Each student is given a white belt that symbolizes purity. Tradition states that over years of training, the student’s belt will become brown and even black over many years of training. Why do you have an 18-belt system? The reason can be said in one word--motivation. The students test for either a belt or stripe every month. This is to show progress. In the old days, students went through a four or five belt system. Every year students would graduate to the next belt. We believe strongly in motivating our students in every positive way. When will I see results? After one day of training, you will see the result of ‘knowledge.’ Many people want to see physical results and neglect the mental aspects of martial arts. We work on the mind as well as the body. Do you teach kids will ADD? Yes. It has been proven over the years that martial arts can and will improve students listening ability besides their physical ability to a higher degree. 6

How can I get extra training? Private lessons are available. If you are interested in receiving them, please let us know in writing, and remember, write down your name and phone number. Place your note in the tuition slot at the studio; someone will call you. Do I pay for belt fees? Yes. The fees are listed on the rank sheet that is given to all students one week prior to testing. What age do kids start? Kids can start as early as three years old. We have many kids who are now or close to becoming black belts that started at an early age. Can I make up classes that I missed? Yes. Look at the schedule on line or on the table. Ask for help if you have any questions. What makes KING’S MARTIAL ARTS better than the rest of the studio’s in town? First, we would like you to understand a few facts: (1) We properly certify all black belts through Korea. This is very important. Many studios give out phony black belt diplomas made up from a local print shop. (2) We have a Christian attitude. We do not teach students to bow down to Buddha or worship shrines. (3) You are training with an instructor who has over 38 years experience in Tae Kwon Do. Ultimately, each individual’s taste decides what is right for him or her. Do you go to many tournaments? We only go to tournaments that are KING’S MARTIAL ARTS approved. The tournaments that are recommended by KING’S MARTIAL ARTS are of the highest quality. The highest standard such as attitude and fairness are enforced. The average number of tournaments we participate in during the year is four. When I get to black belt, do I stop training? No. If you train many years just to quit, you should have quit before you started. After receiving your black belt, your training will be a more involved. The precision and advanced weapons, throws, and forms will keep you challenged for many years to come.

How can parents help their children at King’s Martial Arts 1. Don’t let your child play right before coming to class. Stop your child approximately ½ hour before class so that he/she can say goodbye to friends and change for class. 2. Many kids at our academy quit because parents let them do too many activities. If you overload your child, he/she will not stay focused. The child can only take on so much and will quit when tired. 3. Some parents get upset when their child shows signs of slower learning. My suggestion is, let your child take his own path. Progress will soon show over time. 4. Becoming a member will create a common bond between family members. 5. Remember, always encourage not discourage. 6. Don’t show karate movies that show violence. Kids think they are going to get hurt because they see others get hurt on TV. 7. Baseball, soccer, and football are great sports. Remember that your child’s martial arts training works on many areas of character building that the other sports don’t touch on. Keeping consistent in martial arts will keep the interest level up.

8

How can kids, teens, and adults keep going without burnout? I had this problem while I was training. My instructor told me to train harder. My response to him was, “If I take time off, then I will get my interest back up.” The answer is ‘don’t quit’ but instead keep training and burnout will come to pass. This is actually a great test of perseverance. If you pass burnout, you have overcome your test of character. If you don’t, you will be one of the may thousands of people that say, “I used to do martial arts. I wish I didn’t quit!” Ideas on how to overcome burnout include: 1. Help teach in a lower ranking class; we will let you assist. This is a great way for you to help others. 2. Make an appointment with Master King for advice. 3. Become a black belt club member.

9

Student Creed I will come to class with a positive mental attitude. I will enhance my mental and physical health. I will train consistently with 100 % effort in the spirit of Tae Kwon Do. I will use my martial arts’ skill and knowledge to create harmony for others and myself. As a KING’S MARTIAL ARTS student, my goal is to become a black belt, an instructor, and finally, a master. I will not quit or let other things keep me from my goal.

Brief History of Tae Kwon Do (Tae=Foot, Kwon=Hand, and Do=Way)

Tae Kwon Do means, literally, ‘The art of kicking and punching.’ This style of fighting derives from more primitive techniques of foot, hand, and head fighting called Pal Ke, Soo Bak, Kwon Bop. Okinawate, Tae Kyun, and Tang Soo, various forms of which were practiced in many parts of the Orient as early as the first century AD, all may have had their beginning years before the birth of Christ. According to legend, they spread throughout the east with the teaching of the Buddhist monks who developed a system of self-defense to protect themselves in their travels against the wild animals and unruly marauders of that time. The primitive method of self–defense in Korea was called Soo Bak, meaning ‘punching and butting.’ It was popular among the common people and was as old as the nation itself. About 1,400 years ago in the reign of Cin Heug, twenty-fourth King of Silla, the young aristocrats of the county formed an officer’s warrior corporation that they named Hwa rang Do. Their purpose was to defend their kingdom against the constant invasions and harassment of their more powerful northern neighbors. They went into the mountains and along the seashore studying the fighting styles of the wild animals to learn what defensive and offensive positions gave each its most formidable advantage. These positions were adapted and then combined with the traditional method of self–defense. Incorporating the disciplines taught by the Buddhist monks, rigorous exercise with intense concentration conditioned these young warriors to coordinate mind and body into one harmonious system called Soo Bak Do or Tae Kyun (the art of kicking and punching). The Hwa Rang Do’s became renowned for their courage and skill in battle as well as their heroism. This inspired the people of Silla to rise and eventually conquer their enemies. With Silla’s victory, the Korean peninsula was united as one country for the first time in its history. From the Sino (Japanese War of 1894 through World War II), Koreans began a conscious effort to revitalize the art of Tae Kwon Do as a national sport and art form. Tae Kwon Do became popular among the people, and the enthusiastic support of its many practitioners eventually let to the inclusion of Tae Kwon Do as one of the official events of the forty–third Annual National Athletic Meet in 1962. From that point on, the popularity of Tae Kwon Do has spread throughout the world; and in May 1973, more than thirty countries competed in the first world Tae Kwon Do championships held in Seoul (capital of South Korea). Today Tae Kwon Do is the fastest growing martial arts in the entire USA. 16

T'aeGuk-Ki (the Korean Flag)

Many people have the Korean Flag on their suits, without knowing that it has a more meaningful background than most common flags. Below is a short overview. Summary: The meaning of the Korean National Flag is very philosophical. The origin comes from the Oriental philosophy called Eum-Yang (in Chinese pronunciation is Yin-Yang). In Korea, the symbol of 'Yin and Yang' and sometimes the flag itself are called TaeGuek, which summarize the thoughts of 'I Ching' (called 'Yeok' in Korean). The name means as much as the flag of 'Great Extremes.' The flag consists of three parts: the white background, the red and blue circle in the center, and four trig rams of which one is located in each corner of the flag. The white background of the flag means peace. The red and blue circle in the center is called ‘TaeGuek’ meaning the origin of all things in the universe. The central thought is perfect harmony and balance: a continuous movement within the sphere of infinity resulting in one unit. The blue part of 'TaeGuek' is called 'Eum' and represents all negative aspects of the balance that is typical for the symbol. The red part is called 'Yang' and describes all positive aspects. The four trig rams at the corners (called 'Kwe' in Korean) also represent the concept of opposites and balance. The trig rams are heaven (upper-left), earth (lower-right), water (upper-right), and fire (lower-left). Looking at the symbols of the trig rams, you can see that they are opposites as well. Three unbroken bars (heaven) vs. three broken bars (earth), etc. 17

For the Korean people their flag of T'aeGuk-Ki is a source of pride and inspiration. During the Japanese occupation beginning in 1910, the Korean flag was outlawed in public places; and for about thirty-five years, the T'aeGuk flags were kept hidden until Liberation Day in 1945. The Korean flag has been a symbol of this country's struggle for independence and freedom. Origin: The oldest 'Yin/Yang'-symbol that was described in stone was found in Korea. At the end of the 19th century, Korea needed its own flag. It is believed that Young-Hyo Park came up with the first concept. At that time, Korea was under the influence of all sorts of colonists like the Japanese, Chinese, and Russian. The Symbols: Yin means dark and cold while Yang means bright and hot. A very old book called ChooYuk that is written by a Chinese claims all objects and events in the world are expressed by the movement of Yin and Yang. For example, the moon is Yin while the sun is Yang. The earth is Yin and the sky is Yang. The night is Yin and the day is Yang. The winter is Yin and the summer is Yang. Yin and Yang are relative; therefore, A can be Yin with respect to B while A can be Yang with respect to C. For example, the spring is Yin with respect to the summer and it is at the same time Yang with respect to the winter.

Kun = Heaven

Yi = Fire

Kam = Water

Kon = Earth 18

Poomse’s WTF uses Poomse’s for patterns. Poomse’s originated from the book ‘I Ching,’ a Chinese oracle. The I Ching has 64 hexagrams, a combination of two sets of three lines that are closed or broken. The sets of three lines are called trig rams. The open lines represent Yin and the closed lines represent Yang. In the Chinese language, the unity of Yin and Yang is called ‘taich'i.’ In the Korean language, the unity is called T'ae-guek. This explains the term Poomse TaeGuek. The eight trigrams together are called Pal-gwe as in Poomse Palgwe. Kyepka (break test): One of the four elements of Tae Kwon Do (besides sparring, style, forms, and self-defense) is the break test. It is an obligatory part of the black-belt exam and is a popular element of Tae Kwon Do demonstrations. Why? Breaking an object is a good way to practice concentration, power, focus, speed, and precision on non-living objects without injuring oneself or another. It is very important to realize that a proper technique is needed as well as a breaking technique within your limits because without it you could easily injure yourself, sometimes even permanently! Practicing breaking objects helps you to realize that your body itself is a very strong weapon. It also helps you to understand that during practice with a partner, you have to be very careful. How? The material that is most often used for breaking techniques is wood since it can be easily broken with either the hand or foot. Other materials include bricks, tiles and, sometimes even baseball bats! Breaking objects can be performed with any rigid part of the body. In Tae Kwon Do, the most common parts of the body used are the hand or foot, but using the elbow, knee, or even the head can also do breaking.

19

In order to break an object, it is best to start light. Use an object that is easy to break, instead of directly trying to break a thick board, and start with a technique in which you feel confident. Use your techniques as they are taught to you and try to be as relaxed as possible. When you start practicing breaking techniques, it might help you to focus a few inches behind the actual point of impact. Physics: Dry boards are more brittle than wet and will break more easily. If a board does not break, a large force is transmitted back to your body for a relative long time. This might hurt :o) Break boards with the grain. It is much easier! When breaking a board, make sure that the person holding the board has a firm grip on it. If the board moves during your technique, it will soften your technique. Other factors not covered are the angle of strike and size of attacking tool. Impulse = force (delivered by the strength of t=your muscles) x time (delivered by the speed of your movement). Therefore, the shorter your contact with the board, the bigger the force component will be, and therefore, the easier the board will break. Momentum = mass (weight) x velocity (speed in a certain direction). The change in momentum is the momentum when you hit the target minus the momentum when you come to a stop, which is determined by weight and speed (= impulse). The force applied to stop a movement determines how quickly it is stopped since we can say the mass used to create the momentum will not change.

What is a Black Belt? By Will Dieck

Recently I was at a business seminar, everything was going great, and suddenly the conversation became heated over a specific point. What constitutes a black belt? The thoughts were varied and passionate; some thought that a black belt was presentation of mental or physical ability. Still others thought it to be spiritual maturity or some combination of the three. Often people think of a black belt as some superman or superwomen able to leap tall building in a single bound while opponents’ blows and bullets bounce off their bodies. I think this picture is shaded by a few too many hours watching “Enter the Dragon.” What is it that makes a black belt? Is it punching and kicking skills? Well we can knock off kicking because Ron Scanlon, an extraordinary capable eighth-degree black belt in King Fu San Soo, has many instructional tapes on the market, and Ron is confined to a wheel chair. Is he a black belt? I would say yes and a very good one. How about the ability to defend yourself in any situation? Should child black belts be able to defend themselves from an adult attacker? To answer this I turn to Ginchin Funakoshi, the father of Japanese Karate. “To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting at all is the highest skill.” In other words, it is far better to use your mind instead of your physical skills so, although the ability to defend yourself is important, it also does not define a black belt. The black belt child who runs away form an adult attacker is showing the highest level of self-defense, preservation. How about the ability to fight, shouldn’t a black belt be an extremely competent fighter? My answer to this is in comparison to whom? I have a friend ‘Luck’ Ellison who started karate with Master Kwon when he was 58 years young. He is now 75 years and a third-degree black belt. Does that mean that he should be able to defeat any first-degree black belt no matter how old? Of course not. I am sure that you will agree that we should not hold a 72 year old to the same standard as a 19-year-old black belt, or someone who is 7 to that of a 27 year old, or someone in a wheel chair to a person with two healthy legs. You see that is the point, no two people are exactly alike. No one is ever going to perform perfectly on any test, black 21

belt or not. No one will ever be prepared for every self-defense situation. No one can defeat every other person in the world in a free fight. There is no perfect mold for a black belt. For me the answer is this: In comparison with where he or she started, where are they now? Are they more controlled? More disciplined? More self-confident? If we can answer yes to each of these questions, then we know that the person is doing their best to improve their personal ability. We know we have a great future black belt in our midst. To finish with Ginchin Funakoshi again, “The ultimate aim of Karate is not victory or defeat, but perfection of the character to its participants.”

Black Belt should be your Goal Instructor Master Grand Master your ultimate Goal

Safety Tips From Captain Ciraulo: If your clothes are on fire, do not run: Stop, Drop and Roll. Plan two escape routes from each room. Have a family escape plan and practice! Get your parents to test their smoke detector monthly. Matches and lighters are tools, not toys. Never play with them. At the first sign of fire, leave the building and dial 911. Keep pots and pan handles turned in while cooking. If your house is full of smoke, get down low, and go, go, go! Avoid contact with and do not breathe fumes from chemicals, gasoline, and lighter fluids. In case of fire, never use an elevator; always use a stairway to escape. Never go back into a building for anything!

From Retired Police Officer Rhinehart: Don’t… Talk to strangers. Carry another person on your bicycle. Play with matches or fire. Damage other people’s property. Hitchhike. Ever touch a gun, at home or anywhere! Play in the street. Eat Halloween treats before your parents can check them. Go into anyone’s home or car if you don’t know them. Allow any stranger into your home when your parents are away.

Do… Cross the street only at corners. Watch for cars. Lock your bicycle. Register your bicycle. Wear a helmet when biking or skateboarding. “Trick or treat” always with friends and an adult. Know your address and phone number. Always walk and play with a friend. Tell your parents where you are going. Tell an adult if a stranger bothers you. Know when and how to use 911. 50

What’s the best weapon in defense from: KING’S MARTIAL ARTS In defense, the best weapon is your mouth not your fist or foot. What to say in a fight, “Fighting is wrong!” Don’t yell; talk in a calm voice. Remember, a wise person will talk themselves out of a fight. If angry, don’t explode in a violent manor. Do anger exercise. Run in place, do jumping jacks, push-ups, walk away or read a book.

Dog attack: When a dog approaches do not touch him. If the dog starts to growl, then cross your arms and look at the ground. Tell the dog to go home. Do not look the dog in the eyes. Slowly walk away from the dog.
