Re: 2017 Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa

Dear Ko Dan Ja Candidate,

Welcome and congratulations on being selected to participate in the United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation’s 34th Annual Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa.

Each candidate group has been assigned a written project to be completed prior to the week of the examination. Past projects have included “Preparation Guidelines for the Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa”, “The role of Women within the Moo Duk Kwan”, “Curriculum and Promotion Guidelines for Tiny Tots” and a variety of other projects. You may have actually received copies of some of the past candidate projects from the Federation as part of your Shim Sa paperwork packet.

During the week you will have time to review and discuss the final draft of your group project with TAC officials who will be responsible for providing direction and feedback, and assisting with any questions you may have.

The project should be presented as a finished document. A print ready pamphlet, magazine article or newsletter article would be the ideal. Include a cover page noting the project title, the Shim Sa date and each of the candidate’s names and Dan Bon. Two hard copies of the project and a copy on a disk shall be provided to the TAC.

Daily keep-fit exercises are part of the Asian culture, with hundreds or perhaps thousands of variations. These exercises, called “Ki Gung” in Korean and “Chi Gung” in Chinese, fall into two major categories: Martial exercises which build health and increase one’s power for self- defense and Scholarly exercises which are designed specifically for health. These exercises gently work the bones, ligaments, and muscles, as well as the internal organs, circulatory, immune, lymphatic, and energy systems.

• Moo – Military • Pahl – Eight • Dan – Level • Khum – of value (silk)

Moo Pahl Dan Khum and Moon Pahl Dan Khum are one such set of very old exercises developed to maintain health both internally and externally. They are originally based on an even older set of exercises called the Ship E Dan Khum (12 exercises). The Ship E Dan Khum were adapted by Marshal Yei, a famous Chinese military General, for his troops. They were divided into two sets, the Moo (military) set of exercises and the Moon (scholarly) set of exercises. The Moo Pahl Dan Khum consists of 8 standing exercises and the Moon Pahl Dan Khum consists of 8 sitting exercises.

Our Founder Hwang Kee added the Moo and Moon Pahl Dan Khum exercises to Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan’s curriculum because he believed martial arts should be learned not only for self-defense but also for mental, physical, and spiritual development. The Founder learned the Moo and Moon Pahl Dan Khum while practicing and researching in China, where these exercises are called the “eight brocade”.

The descriptions for the eight Moo Pahl Dan Khum exercises are listed below. Breathing is done in 4 steps or stages of approximately 5 to 7 seconds - Inhale, hold with air, exhale, hold without air. Modifications may be appropriate to meet the needs and conditioning of the individual student.

Moo Pahl Dan Khum:

• Il Bon – Interlock fingers / Stretch Up • Ee Bon – Archer • Sam Bon – Punching from horse stance • Sa Bon – Up / Down hand press • Oh Bon – Waist Bend • Yuk Bon – Knee Massage • Chil Bon – Roll spine / push hands forward • Pahl Bon – Back Bend

There are many factors that make our Moo Duk Kwan® style very unique under our Founder Hwang Kee. One factor is our unique way to emphasize use of hip, both in demonstration and explanation. Use of hip is extremely important in helping you to understand coordination of speed, power and balance. Proper use of hip will help you achieve higher levels in your martial arts training and in many other physical activities you may become involved with in the future.

Remember to practice the Moo Duk Kwan® way and enjoy the results you will experience at all times. This is a great gift from the Moo Duk Kwan® and its Founder Hwang Kee and we are all proud to be a part of the Moo Duk Kwan® discipline. Please pay close attention to the instructions for proper use of hip. It will help you increase your enjoyment in every area of your performance.

Defensive Use of Hip – Chun Gul Jaseh Beginning Posture – Begin from a left leg forward Chun Gul Jaseh. Intermediate Posture - As you advance the right hip is held forward in preparation. Inhale through your nose, your body should be relaxed. Completed Posture – Right hip snaps backward as your weight drops to the front leg into completion of the front stance. Exhale.

Defensive Use of Hip – Hul Gul Jaseh Beginning Posture – Begin from a left leg forward Hul Gul Jaseh. Intermediate Posture - As you advance the right hip is held forward in preparation. Inhale through your nose, your body should be relaxed. Completed Posture – Right hip snaps backward, internal tension drops to the rear leg into completion of the back stance. Exhale.

Offensive Use of Hip – Chun Gul Jaseh Beginning Posture – Begin from a left leg forward Chun Gul Jaseh. Intermediate Posture - As you advance the right hip is held back in preparation. Inhale through your nose, body is in a relaxed position. Completed Posture – Right hip snaps forward as your weight drops to the front leg into completion of the front stance. Exhale.

Direct Hip Direct hip is used when the hip and hand move in the same direction. For example, both arms in Choong Dan Kong Kyuk use direct hip.

Reactive Hip Reactive hip is used when the hip and hand move in opposite directions. For example, the retraction side when performing a Ha Dan Mahk Kee (the block side uses direct hip).

Basic to all martial arts is this: After the basic movements are learned they are applied to and transformed into forms. The elements which make up the character or personality of a form may be understood as follows:

1. Form Sequence – The proper and correct sequence of moves in a particular form.

2. Power Control (Him Cho Chung) – Command of the release, restraint and relaxation of explosive energy of focused power.

3. Tension and Relaxation (Shin Chook) – Mastery of breathing and timing in the accumulation and release of energy or power.

4. Speed and Rhythm Control (Wan Gup) – Coordination and patterning of moves at rates appropriate to the sub-sequences within the form.

5. Direction of Movements – Certainty of balance and confidence of step in changing direction.

6. Spirit or Attitude (Moo Do Shim Gung) – Evidence of a sense of calm and humility based on self-knowledge and dedication to the perfect form.

7. Power of Technique (Intent) – Rigor and strength of moves especially in equal power of attack and defense.

8. Understanding Form Technique (Intent) – Demonstration in the form that the sequence of moves has been internalized and flows with the naturalness and ease of reflex responses, that is, without the obvious intervention of conscious thought.

9. Distinctive Features of the Form – Evocation in the observer of a vivid awareness of the specific kinds of attack and of the number and direction of attackers for which a particular form is designated.

10. Perfect Finish – As additional evidence of concentration and control, the last move of the form ends at the starting point and then remains frozen or fixed there until signaled by the referee, judge or teachers.

11. Precision of Movements – Such accuracy in the execution of a move as reflects the finest logical coordination of balance, distance, power, ability and control.

12. Intentness – Direction and concentration of the entire attention upon points of power. The intent eyes communicate both a determination to defend against attack and a predetermined plan or deliberate design for defense. Further, the eyes anticipate the intended direction of moves by quick shifts and then concentration of focus upon the point of power.

These twelve elements may be used as a basis for evaluating a form and for the study of its improved performance.

The following seven principles can be used as a guide to enhance the success of maintaining harmony during a group demonstration such as hyungs, moving basics, or partner activity. If each member of the demonstration group follows these principles, group harmony will improve by ensuring each movement is executed in the same manner and within the same time frame. If any member fails to follow each principle, the oneness of the group will be compromised. The seven principles to group harmony are: Huri, Shi Sun, Ho Hoop, Shin Chook, Completion, Effort, and Success. 1. Huri: Each member must use their huri for every movement. Proper use of the huri will dictate a consistent timing. If any member fails to use their huri for any movement, their technique will most likely finish at a different time than everyone else.

2. Shi Sun: Each member must have the highest level of Shim Gung. This can be demonstrated through Shi Sun. Members in the front row should lead the group. These leaders will change depending on which direction the group is moving. If everyone stays together with the person in front and uses their peripheral vision to stay together with those on either side of them, the group harmony should be successful.

Another important part of maintaining group harmony is the Shi Sun before the direction change. This should be done with a deliberate head turn and full intent. The change of Shi Sun happens after the technique is completed—not while moving or before fully completing the movement.

3. Ho Hoop: Breathing is an important part in staying together. Everyone’s breathing should match their movements by inviting the huri and then the technique with each inhale. The movement and the huri should start and stop at the same time as the inhale. The same applies for the exhale and execution of the technique.

Everyone should use their full lung capacity and demonstrate a dynamic inhale and exhale while breathing. This creates a full contraction and a full expansion for each movement. Think of the group as all having the same lungs (one lung) to collectively breathe life into the group effort. Everyone’s breathing should be vocal, as an audible aid in moving together, making it possible to hear and feel the members that cannot be seen.

4. Shin Chook: The breath, huri, contraction and expansion all work together for each movement. To maximize the movement of the huri and to maximize contraction and expansion, one must take a full breath. If everyone follows the proper chain of command and fully contracts and expands for each movement, everyone’s technique should travel about the same distance from beginning to end, and start and stop about the same time. Contraction and expansion is the external demonstration of Shin Chook

Relaxation and tension is the internal demonstration of Shin Chook. If one is not relaxed while executing a technique, one cannot move naturally and will compromise the

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 31 harmony of the group. If one does not apply tension at the end of the movement, the technique is left unfinished. Everyone should demonstrate stillness at the same time at the end of each movement.

5. Completion: When demonstrating a group exercise it is important for every member to complete each technique. This gives everyone a stopping point and provides an opportunity for all to come together at one place. If one person fails to complete their movement and rushes on to the next technique, the demonstration will lose harmony.

One unique aspect of Soo Bahk Do is the demonstration of a fully extended technique upon completion. It shows the beauty of our art if a group of practitioners can finish a technique at the exact same time.

6. Effort: Maximum effort from every member involved is the only way to have a successful outcome. The effort must come from a desire to move as one. If the above principles are applied then every movement from every member will be done correctly.

Equal effort in a group demonstration also means that everyone has a responsibility to find the middle ground. Some members may have to move slower than they are used to, and some members may have to try to move a little faster. Regardless of what adjustments are needed for the group, the student’s full intent should never waver. Each person has a responsibility to participate with the same effort and with the same intention.

7. Success: Success can be measured by the feeling of accomplishment shared by each member’s individual effort towards a common goal. If the principles of huri, shi sun, ho hoop, shin chook, completion, and effort are applied, the group demonstration will be successful. The resonating energy created from the collective effort of the group can impact and effect everyone present, participants and observers alike. This connection raises everyone’s awareness of the power of oneness. This represents the oneness that the Founder mentions in the 5 Requirements of Mental Training in the Tang Soo Do (Soo Bahk Do) Volume I text.

Pyung Ahn “Peaceful Confidence”

• MEANING: o Pyung – Shape resembles a balanced scale and corresponds to English terms: well balanced, calm and peaceful. o Ahn – Woman/Mother Inside a House and corresponds to English terms: safe, security, confident and comfortable. • INTRODUCTION:

o Date of Creation - Approximately 1870 Pyung Ahn Cho Dan – Line Diagram o By practicing Pyung Ahn one can develop Peaceful Confidence of mind and body regardless of the situation because of the self-defense ability developed by understanding these forms. o Originated in China and exemplify the southern regional style. o They were created by a Chinese military leader named Jeh Nam and were once known as the Jeh Nam Hyung. o These forms were brought to Okinawa from mainland China, and Mr. Idos rearranged them into five sets of Hyung. Shortly thereafter, they became known as the Pyung Ahn Hyung. o Comments from Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang ▪ Present confidence and make that part of your being. ▪ Hold mind in the Dan Jun (Abdomen) = move from the center and trust the HuRi (Hip). • ANIMAL CHARACTERISTIC: o The Founder (Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee) made the Tortoise (Turtle) the symbol of the Pyung Ahn Hyung. ▪ These forms were presented to reflect the Moo Duk Kwan style in 1945. o The turtle bears a special significance in Korean culture comparable to that of a dragon in China. ▪ Turtle sculptures are seen in gardens and temples. ▪ Its head represents the earth, its claw - the heavens and its body - the water (as well as humanity). ▪ Given what the turtle represents – it embodies longevity. • NUMBER OF TECHNIQUES: o Cho Dan (25), E Dan (30), Sam Dan (29), Sa Dan (31), O Dan (30) • PRACTICAL APPLICATION (PICTURES FROM THE SOO BAHK DO DAE KHAM - VOLUME 1 TEXTBOOK © 1978):

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 35 IL SOO SIK DAE RYUN Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring) is pre-planned sparring with a partner that helps develop balance, focus and distance control. Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun is performed in a formal way with a proper start, execution of the Il Soo Sik technique and proper finish. • Bow to your partner from the attention position • Choon Bee together • Measure distance • Junior side challenges with Ha Dan Mahk Kee and proper Ki Hap, senior side response with Ki Hap • Junior side performs Sang Dan Kong Kyuk, senior side performs Il Soo Sik exercise • Both sides Ba Ro together upon completion Bowing to our partner in the Soo Bahk Do® martial art in the Moo Duk Kwan® school (San Ho Kan E Kyung Ret) is of the utmost importance as it shows the Respect and Discipline that comprise one of our 5 Moo Do values. Our training involves potentially dangerous techniques and without respect and discipline the techniques may be used in a negative manner. The physical action of bowing shows the constant mental awareness and concentration required as well as respect towards yourself, your partner and towards the art.

Instructing Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun Il Soo Sik exercises can be instructed using a four count methodology. As an instructor this gives us the opportunity in a mixed class to have each student demonstrate the exercises appropriate to their level while using the same count for everyone. Since # 7-8, 9-10, 13-14, and 15-16 have more than four techniques for some of the counts two techniques are performed together as noted below: • # 7 – 8: Perform the Yup Podo Cha Gi and Tuel Oh Sang Dan Kong Kyuk as count 2 • # 9 – 10: Perform the Dwi Podo Cha Gi and Soo Do Mahk Kee as count 3 • # 13 – 14: Perform the Soo Do Mahk Kee and Ahp Bal Dollyo Cha Gi as count 1 • # 15 – 16: Perform the Soo Do Mahk Kee and Dollyo Cha Gi as count 1 Yup Podo Cha Gi and Sung Muk Dong Kong Kyuk as count 2 Ahneso Pahkuro Mahk Kee and Choong Dan Kong Kyuk as count 3 Soo Do Kong Kyuk and Yuk Soo Do Kyung Kyuk as count 4 Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun Timing Each set of Il Soo Sik exercises also has a natural Wan Gup or timing aspect where techniques are grouped. The groupings listed are shown in terms of the four count instructional method listed above. • # 1 – 2: Perform 2 techniques, slight pause, perform 2 techniques (2 – 2) • # 3 – 4: Perform 3 techniques, slight pause, perform 1 technique (3 – 1) • # 5 – 6: Perform 3 techniques, slight pause, perform 1 technique (3 – 1) • # 7 – 8: Perform 3 techniques (counts 1 and 2), slight pause, perform 2 techniques (2 – 2) • # 9 – 10: Perform 3 total techniques (counts 1 and 2), slight pause, perform 2 techniques (2 – 2) • # 11 – 12: Perform 3 techniques, slight pause, perform 1 technique (3 – 1) • #13 – 14: Perform 4 techniques (counts 1, 2 and 3), slight pause, perform 1 technique (3-1) • #15 – 16: Perform 4 techniques (counts 1 and 2), slight pause, perform 4 techniques (counts 3 and 4) (2 – 2) • #17 – 18: Perform 3 techniques, slight pause, perform 1 technique (3 – 1)

Sam – Three, Soo – Hand/Technique/Trick, Sik – Rule/System Moo Do Jaseh – High level of performance and Shim Gung. • Maintain the beauty of the finish • Weapon discipline • Moo Do ceremony • Shi Sun There are two main goals of the Sam Soo Sik Exercises • Gaining an appreciation of Um and Yang (receiving and giving) • Connecting to our history and hyung in physical application Yang is demonstrated by Chun Jin, advancing, exhalation. Um is demonstrated by Hu Jin, retreating, inhalation. If we have Um/Yang within ourselves then we can work well with our partners.

Ho Shin Sul has been taught in the Moo Duk Kwan® school since the Founder established the system in 1945. Ho Shin Sul can be translated as: • Ho: Protection, Defense • Shin: One’s own body (yourself) • Sul: Technique Ho Shin Sul begins with awareness: awareness of your surroundings, circumstances and potential threatening situations. With proper awareness a conflict should be prevented long before a physical confrontation takes place.

Ho Shin Sul should use the energy of your partner against them. In most situations, when your attacker pushes you pull and if they pull you push. The defender should understand the importance of striking quickly while maintaining the highest level of Shim Gung. When put into submission the attacker should maintain shi sun, good posture and move with the flow and energy of the exercise for an overall harmonious demonstration.

Some of the areas for special concern during the practice of Ho Shin Sul are: • Maintain Shi Sun (eye focus) straight at your partner at all times in order to maintain good awareness of every move you and your partner make. • Open your hand and fingers before and during the release from you partner’s grip. Maintain awareness of the energy from the Dan Jun (abdomen) as it will give you energy to perform easily without tensing. Maintain fullness in the releasing arm. • Drive your elbow towards your partner when releasing the grip rather than pulling towards you. • Move your mass around your partner to take them off balance – Be active. • Practice Ho Shin Sul with a low center of gravity. • If a pain compliance joint lock is being performed, be sure to receive compliance from your partner before moving on to the next motion. Compliance can be a tap of the hand, the body’s movement to pain or a facial expression. • Maintain an awareness of how Wan Gup applies to the Ho Shin Sul process: o Wan – Come to Choon Bee with your partner with deliberation. Extend the correct arm to receive the challenge for Ho Shin Sul. o Gup – Perform the Ho Shin Sul technique with intent, line and proper speed. o Wan – Baro with your partner with deliberation. Prepare for the next Ho Shin Sul technique.

History, Culture and Terminology Questions may be asked by the examiners

Picture: The Candidates see the highest level of Moo Do expression from the TAC.

Connection: The Candidates connect that picture to their actions during the Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa week.

Application: The Candidates apply the experiences gained at the Shim Sa in their own training, in their Do Jangs and on Regional and National levels. They also are encouraged to connect those experiences to their daily lives as living Moo Do models.

Throughout the week, members of the TAC will observe candidate’s performance to evaluate against expectations. The pre-evaluation will be used as a baseline to determine how candidates are applying area of improvement over the week. On Thursday night prior to the presentation, members of the TAC will define and acknowledge areas of strength and areas to be strengthened for each candidate. TAC will present a summary of its recommendations to H. C. Hwang Kwan Jang Nim.

Once finalized, this information will be sent directly to the candidate’s Instructor, as well as cc’d to all appropriate parties (SAC, TAC, HKI, REx) with an explanation of what the TAC’s expectations for growth are. This will be done in the form of a letter from the TAC Chair. Instructors will be directed to work closely with their Regional Examiners in the process. If possible, an online method of delivery is preferred for SAC, TAC, HKI and REx.

All candidates are provided a window of opportunity to allow their experiences to become a part of their nature. This instilling process is the true essence of their experience.

All Instructor recommendations will need to be forwarded to their respective Regional Examiners for review by the date designated by the TAC. Regional Examiners will then submit their official recommendations to the TAC Chair by the date designated by the TAC after reviewing the Instructor recommendations.

If there are remaining areas to be addressed, the TAC Chair, Regional Examiners and Instructor will communicate a remedial action plan prior to the final recommendation to Kwan Jang Nim and the World Moo Duk Kwan®. The TAC Chair will then initiate a completion of the recommendations and production of certificates through U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation® Headquarters for mailing to the candidate’s Instructor.

A Sa Bom (Sa – teacher person and Bom – model) is a teacher of teachers. As a Sa Bom we should demonstrate four characteristics:

• Instructor: Be able to draw the student’s attention. • Teacher: Understands the mechanics of how to teach and organize a class curriculum. • Preacher: Communicates the Moo Duk Kwan® philosophy. • Practitioner: Be active in your own training, practice what you teach.

The evaluation for Sa Bom will be based on meeting the requirements for Sa Bom certification as noted in your Gup & Dan Manual. Additionally, the evaluation will be based on your ability to organize teaching curricula, to teach and evaluate instructors and their teaching process ® and to demonstrate the maturity required of a Sa Bom in the Moo Duk Kwan school.

Class Instruction Requirements In 2017 members who are eligible for Sa Bom Certification will participate in a video evaluation program initiated by the Technical Advisory Committee. All 4th Dan candidates and Sa Bom candidates are required to submit videos. A 5th Dan, 6th Dan, or 7th Dan candidate is not required to submit a video unless he/she is also testing for Sa Bom. The TAC has prepared an online video of a model Soo Bahk Do® class and a document detailing instructional design concepts for model Soo Bahk Do® class instruction on the Soo Bahk Do® wiki site. These advanced training materials are for use by Sa Bom Certification applicants preparing to submit their own teaching video for evaluation by the TAC. The following instructions outline the process that 2014 Sa Bom Certification applicants followed. The TAC also held one or more teleconferences to answer questions and clarify Sa Bom Certification applicant outcome expectations. An outline of the process followed is noted below: 1. Review the instructional design concepts written materials which describe proper class organization, PCA 1 and PCA 2 principles. 2. Watch the model Soo Bahk Do® class instruction video online, taking notes for future review. 3. Begin to teach your classes based on the concepts outlined in the written materials, videos, and Sa Bom workbooks. 4. Once you are comfortable that your instruction meets the expectations of the model Soo Bahk Do® (Moo Do) class, prepare to teach and video your candidate class: 1. Obtain video equipment to record your instruction, the taping can be performed either from a tripod or handheld. 2. Prepare your class instruction. Your instruction should be approximately 20 minutes in duration. It should cover the key sections shown in the video and

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 45 should be treated as a whole class, condensed to 20 minutes. You should document your class plan using the PCA 1 & 2 example. 3. If not videoed in digital format, convert the video to a digital file format in preparation for uploading online. Please do not edit or modify your video. The ultimate value to you is in the feedback from the TAC on your class instruction strengths and areas of improvement. 4. Upload your video and documents to the TAC site, following the upload instructions provided below. Written documents (i.e. class plan, etc.) can be uploaded at the same time as your video and will appear attached to page where your video is displayed in order to keep all candidate materials together. 5. Email the TAC Chairman, TAC, TAC Administrator, and Kwan Jang Nim Hwang that your video was successfully submitted. 6. The TAC will review your instruction submission and provide feedback online. You will receive an email when comments are posted. 5. Review the feedback from TAC. If TAC asks you to submit another class which incorporates the feedback, follow the same process as above.

6. Also check the site for your fellow candidate videos to review them and take notes for your own instruction improvements. During the Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa, two (2) candidate submissions will be selected as examples of the model Moo Do class. If your class is selected, the video will be watched during the week by the candidates. You will then have the opportunity to teach the same class to your fellow candidates so they can experience your instruction.

Class Instruction Tips A few basic do’s and don’ts that have been noted in past Sa Bom evaluations may help you give the best possible presentation of your teaching ability:

• Use brief, concise explanations of your concepts and get the class moving – students come to class for a work out. After the class practices the exercise a few times if corrections or guidance is needed, stop, make a brief comment and get them moving again. • Use rank appropriate material, both for beginners and seniors. • Be aware of late arrivals waiting to join class. • Demonstrate from a position that allows students a proper view – avoid demonstrating when students have their backs turned and face the class when speaking or giving instruction. • Have the class sit when demonstrating. • Always demonstrate to the best of your physical ability. • Explaining while demonstrating can be a good tool to help students understand expectations, but the last demo you perform must be full speed, with high intensity. • Use vocal inflection to motivate students, commands to move should have greater emphasis than spoken instructions. • Make personal contact (use names if possible) when giving corrections or praise.

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 46 • Use proper titles when addressing others – Mr. Jones, Kyo Sa Smith, Kyo Sa Nim Edwards, etc. • Be aware of the junior – senior relationship. Refrain from making personal corrections to your seniors in class. • Teaching sessions can make use of the provided equipment and are encouraged to do so where appropriate to the class material. For example, kicking targets are typically available for use.

MISSION 2000

The six policies or statements of the Mission 2000 were developed by our Founder Hwang Kee in 1989 to provide a vision for the Moo Duk Kwan® schools into the 21st century. The Mission 2000 policies help us understand the global impact and greater purpose of our Soo Bahk Do® training and Moo Duk Kwan® philosophy - to contribute to World Peace through improved human relationships.

The six policies of the Mission 2000 are:

1. Human Relationships (National)

Continue to develop the atmosphere of respect, courtesy, friendship, brotherhood, cooperation and goodwill within the Soo Bahk Do membership.

2. Human Relationships (International)

The atmosphere identified in number one should become consistent throughout the world. The U.S. should be the leading energy force developing and distributing this atmosphere.

3. Moo Do Organization

We are a martial (Moo Do) organization and we must continue to develop appropriately. The structure of our training, i.e. Dan Bon system, standardization, discipline, respect, techniques.

4. Administration of the Organization

The officers and the Board of Directors should take an active role regarding the administration of the Federation. Members should take an active role in their administration of testing forms, testing results, membership contributions, etc.

5. Member’s Organization

This is a member’s organization. We must all work to produce a caring and helpful atmosphere for mutual benefit.

6. Financial Stability

We should take a more aggressive approach toward creating a financially stable organization.

Your identity as a Moo Duk Kwan® practitioner of the Soo Bahk Do® martial art has been created as a result of our Moo Do values. It is therefore appropriate and proper that as an instructor you emphasize and apply these values in your daily life and in your curriculum of instruction.

Five examples of our Moo Do values, where they’re found in our training and how they’re important are listed below.

IYOK (YUK) SA – HISTORY Iyok takes part, experience

Sa history, recording

Where is history found in our training? ➢ History of humanity, Moo Do, Korea, Soo Bahk Do, Moo Duk Kwan, Federation, your Dojang ➢ Honoring the past – Respect for seniors, elders ➢ History on the background of hyungs and other achievements, team hyung, pit cha gi image Why is history important?

➢ Pride and Credibility ➢ Backbone of being / Strengthening our identity ➢ Appreciate the value of where we are in the present by honoring the past that has made it possible for us to be where we are today ➢ Our history shows us how our present has been created

Jeon transmit

KI SOOL – TECHNIQUE Ki skill

Sool artifice

Where is technique in our training? ➢ Use of Huri ➢ Physics & Science Application to Study of Soo Bahk Do® Why is technique important in our training? ➢ Connects to the history, tradition and philosophy of our art

As an instructor you must be motivated to serve as a role model and edify the positive Moo Do experiences that have created your Moo Do identity to your students, your family and to your local community.

Think about your Instructor and other seniors within the Moo Duk Kwan®. What characteristics of a leader standout:

• Competence – The ability to demonstrate knowledge and skill. • Humility – Modesty in behavior, attitude, and spirit. • Discipline – Having the self-control to behave and act as you say. • Conviction – A strong sense of belief. • Decisiveness – The ability to make decisions and act. • Knowledge – Awareness and understanding gained through experience. • Direction – Has a set of clear goals and a vision. • Clarity - Clearness of thought and communication. • Charisma – Likable.

The Moo Duk Kwan emphasizes leadership in the practice of the Soo Bahk Do® martial art. The Technical Advisory Committee, with the implementation of the Jo Kyo, Kyo Sa and Sa Bom certification programs, now further supports this development through instructor certification workbooks, clinics, and seminars. As Dan and Ko Dan Ja members we are the current and future Moo Duk Kwan® leaders.

THE ART AND I

The Moo Duk Kwan has a proud history and unique identity:

• Use of Huri • Do Bok Trim • 1st Goodwill Internationals • Dan Bon • Publications • Physics & Science Application to Study of the Soo Bahk Do® martial art • Discovery of Moo Yei Do Bo Tong Ji & rebirth of Soo Bahk • Moo Duk Kwan® patch • Yuk Ro / Chil Sung Hyungs • Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa • Founding Purposes of U.S. Federation • Action Philosophy (Life’s Journey) • You

Soo Bahk Do® is the Moo Duk Kwan’s® living martial art system based on Moo Do philosophy. Our actions are initiated and created based on Moo Do – Moo Do is our identity.

HONORING THE PAST, CREATING THE FUTURE THROUGH TRAINING IN THE PRESENT

Class Instruction

Class instruction by Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa candidates will begin with the traditional class line-up according to seniority. After the official bow in, the candidates and seniors evaluating will move to the outside of the training area. Any candidates training in the class will remain in the line-up.

The candidates sharing the class instruction will move to the front of the training area and bow as a group to the Head Instructor (who will then move off of the training area). The candidate instructing the first portion of the class will then bow to the other candidate instructors, bow to the class, and begin teaching.

Note: When candidate instructors are teaching, it is not necessary for the class to bow to the Head Instructor (who may be seated off of the training area) at the “SHIO” command.

Evaluation

During each candidate’s class instruction, detailed notes should be taken to provide later feedback (note sheets for each candidate are included in the “Teaching Evaluation Pages” section at the end of the workbook). Immediately following each class session (after bow-out), a few minutes will be given to each evaluating group (TAC, Visitors, and Candidates) to compare and summarize observations. One representative from each group will compile the group’s feedback in writing and then provide that feedback to the TAC Proctor for each candidate teaching group. The TAC Proctor will review the notes provided by the individual groups and incorporate those into the candidate feedback as necessary.

The evaluation begins with the Candidates preparing the seating arrangements as shown below. In some venues, this may already be setup in advance in preparation for the evaluation process.

All Candidates will locate a seat according to rank and remain standing until the formal bow in to the Head Instructor. Remain standing until instructed to site by the board.

Kwan Jang Nim SAC, TAC, HKI

Candidates Being Evaluated Seated Candidates Evaluator (TAC Proctor)

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 53 After the formal class bow in, the first group of Candidates who taught will move to their position to the left of the head table (this should be done on their own discipline). At the same time, the Evaluator (TAC Proctor) should approach his/her position to the right of the head table. Both the Candidates and the Evaluator on their own discipline should bow to the senior member seated before stepping in from of him/her to approach their positions.

The Candidates and the Evaluator will bow to the Senior Instructor at the head table (normally Kwan Jang Nim), then turn and bow to each other. The evaluation finishes by the Candidates and Evaluator bowing to each other and then to the Senior Instructor.

Note: Candidates should focus on listening to the feedback provided. Pursuant to being able to listen, candidates should not have to take their own notes. A fellow candidate should be designated to take notes for the Candidates being evaluated and provide the documented feedback to Candidates following the evaluation.

Moo Duk Kwan® class instruction of the Soo Bahk Do® martial art at a beginning or Jo Kyo level normally consists of mental concept and practice that gives physical application of that concept.

Class Theme – 10% The mental concept applied and reinforced throughout the class is referred to as the class theme. The class theme typically relates to some aspect of our Moo Duk Kwan® philosophy - the eight key concepts, Mission 2000, Moo Sang / Yu Sang, etc. An example of how to incorporate the eight key concepts into a class theme has been given by H.C. Hwang Kwan Jang Nim in the Instructor’s Newsletter.

Class Emphasis – 90% The physical application or area (e.g. Il Soo Sik, Ho Shin Sul, Hyung, etc.) that you spend the majority of the class time instructing is referred to as the class emphasis.

Class Organization The mental theme should be carried and applied throughout the class instruction. The time allowed for a single class can be broken down into sections for ease of organization.

Warm up: 5 minutes Class Theme: Wan Gup Basic Exercises: 10 minutes One-step sparring: 20 minutes (class emphasis) Sparring: 10 minutes Hyung: 10 minutes Cool down: 5 minutes

Cool Down / Summary – 5 Intro. / Warm up – 5 minutes minutes

Hyung – 10 minutes Basics – 10 minutes

Sparring Application – 10 minutes Class Emphasis, One Step Sparring – 20 minutes

Depending upon the length of the class, additional blocks of 5 minutes may be added or subtracted to make up the allotted class time.

Purpose

Creativity

Action

Purpose What message do you want to convey to the students? Spend approximately 10% of class time to explain the theme which relates some aspect of our Moo Do philosophy. Spend 90% of the class time to convey the theme through action. Remember the Moo Do is an Action Philosophy not a talking philosophy.

Creativity Creativity is the tool you use to capture the student’s attention and inspire them to learn. Prepare in advance how to best bring your theme to life through action. What drills will reinforce the theme? Will the drills be challenging and motivational for all the ranks involved?

Action Once again, we are a Moo Do organization. Students learn best through their own personal experience. Remember the most concise explanation will add more value to your words than a long drawn out explanation.

Approximately 90% of the class should be active. Explanations will have more value after they have personal experience with the theme.

Repetition! Repetition! Repetition!

ACTION

Activity - Instruction in some aspect of the Moo Duk Kwan® school’s Soo Bahk Do® martial art.

Creativity - Use you own creativity and personality to bring the instruction to life.

Theme Based - Application of Moo Do philosophy.

Intensity - Challenge your students, physically and mentally.

Organized - Plan your lesson.

Not About ‘Me’ - Meet the students’ need for knowledge and physical application.

PCA can also be interpreted as:

Picture

Connection

Application

Picture In the teaching environment the picture is how we demonstrate; it’s your organization, complete with the students sitting, a proper Choon Be and Ba Ro philosophy, your demonstration of Shim Gung, Neh Gung and Weh Gung. Through your demonstration you create the “picture” that’s left in their minds of a “Moo Do” action. Your actions demonstrate the model behavior.

Connection Each class should have a Moo Do flavor based on our Philosophy and connected to the training.

Application The Moo Do flavor of the class, based on our Philosophy is applied technically within the class (for example use of the proper weapon and proper shin chook in the demonstration of a side kick) and to daily life and everyday actions.

The sum of the picture, connection and application differentiates and makes a Moo Duk Kwan® class in Soo Bahk unique.

• The incorporation of our philosophy based on Moo Do • Philosophy is the thread that ties our actions together o Spiritually, Physically and Mentally. • Classes are planned and organized with specific themes. • The class order and organization of lines. • Use of Korean terminology • Use of consistent terminology to organize the class - junior side / senior side.

“Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.” - C. W. Ceran

“If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself.” - Albert Einstein

As instructors, studio owners, and program directors we have a tremendous amount of material to convey to the members. We have several methods of communicating to current and prospective students: • Class instruction – give students the chance to learn mostly through repetition • Social Media – Communicate the value of training in the art and share video of action in the studio • Your studio website – make it easy to understand the value of training with you and make it simple to sign up • Advertisements – have a clean message about your offerings

The concept of Simplicity should expand into administration and processes within the studio so that your students can spend more time training and enjoying the art.

Successful Moo Duk Kwan® Studio Ownership

Managing & Growing Studios to Spread the Art

1 Executive Summary The strength of the art resides in the local studios and the instructor’s ability to educate, motivate, and inspire students. The art is at its strongest when it expands and maintains the Five Moo Do Values for generations to come. The philosophy established by the Founder and maintained by our current Kwan Jang Nim has everything we need to be successful as studio owners. The application of our philosophy in a business context will help current and future studio owners be successful business operators and thereby grow the art. The philosophical foundation that will serve our studios is Mission 2000:

1. Human Relations 2. Moo Do Organization 3. Administration of the Organization 4. Members Organization 5. Financial Stability

From a high-level perspective, our Art is a services based organization. The quality of our services with the art is unquestioned. Practice and study of the art helps its members to improve overall quality of life and improved human relations. As studio owners we should look at how we run the Do Jang as a service for the betterment of the members. Maintaining the highest quality service to the members and differentiating ourselves from other services based organizations will make the studio successful.

What separates our art from others is its unique identity based on the Five Moo Do Values. The applications and education of business principles to running studios should be supported

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 59 by our values. There are terms communicated in this guide which are used to ground common terminology around managing an independent business. Concepts such as sales, revenue, or merchandizing are important components of a running a studio and need to be understood within the context of the art’s philosophy. Other martial arts organizations which are founded on business goals and commercialized teaching martial arts will focus on the selling of rank and finding ways of adding revenue streams with no philosophical basis of the instruction they provide. Operating our studios guided by the Five Moo Values will maintain the Moo Duk Kwan for this generation and future generations.

1.2 Human Relations From a business perspective, Human Relations is how you maintain the lifecycle of the instructor-student relationship. The start of that lifecycle begins with how you determine who your potential student population is, continues with the first interaction with a potential student (through advertising, phone calls, walk-ins), and progresses as a student enrolls and trains, then leaves the studio.

1.3 Moo Do Organization A Moo Do Organization within the studio delivers a high level of professionalism as a business operator while maintaining the Moo Do aspects of the art. A studio owner’s services are Moo Do based, and as the studio owner you are the CEO, CFO, CMO, and CTO of a thriving business.

1.4 Administration of the Organization The administration of a studio includes the physical set up of floor space, recordkeeping, structure & timing of mailing to students, testing processes. Disciplined administration of your studio will have a positive impact on financial stability and human relations.

1.5 Members Organization The members are the heart of the studio and the art. It’s important that we as studio owners see the members as vital to the success of the art and the studio’s business. Treating the members will respect and delivering the highest quality of services helps to retain students in the long term.

1.6 Financial Stability Running a successful business and being financially sound as a studio owner keeps the doors open, and allows us to continue to spread the art to the community. This section will focus on how to set prices for services, how to manage the P&L, choose the right insurance provider, and how to pay your staff.

2 Human Relations

2.1 The Moo Do Business Lifecycle As a business owner you will be constantly be managing the enrollment process with prospective students and current students in order to drive consumption of the services and offerings you deliver. There are an untold number of sales processes and business lifecycle definitions depending on the types of services being delivered in the market. What is presented here is just one version of a process with our philosophy at the heart of how we deal with people.

2.1.1 Generate Leads This phase of the Moo Do business lifecycle focuses on identifying and generating new leads for signing up for new services and offerings in the Moo Duk Kwan® Do Jang. Those leads come from both existing students and new students. For existing students that includes generating interest and helping students see that they need to take part in new classes or programs.

For new students this phase focuses on generating awareness of your studio. Marketing and recruiting are the foundation of generating leads. Ultimately your goal for new students is to get people in the door.

2.1.2 Engage & Connect This phase of the Moo Do business lifecycle focuses on understanding the student’s needs and creating a connection on how your studio’s services and offerings can support the student’s needs. In order to engage you need to ask the right questions and connect with them by showing them you understand the student’s goals are. You also make a connection with your professionalism and skills. Help the student create a vision for how a journey will benefit their personal lives.

2.1.3 Propose Options Buyers of any services like options and will buy when there is perceived value for the money being invested. This phase focuses on communicating the potential programs which fit the student’s needs at the right price point. The way we talk about program options needs to focus on value, benefits, and price. In a competitive marketplace we need to clearly communicate our differentiators and the value of the art for the money. You should be confident in the premium services you deliver and the fair market value of those services.

2.1.4 Secure the Student This phase focuses on securing the student to a program contract. You will clearly communicate expectations of the student in the program being signed up for and establish the administration discipline to run the business.

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 61 2.1.5 Teach Teaching is where you deliver the services your students have paid for. The easiest way to build new enrollments is by teaching well. That will encourage your students to extend training, purchase uniforms, shirts, etc., test for rank, compete in tournaments, and be your best marketing asset outside the studio. Students who are excited about the classes you and your staff teach will look for more programs to take part in.

2.1.6 Five Moo Do Values The heart of the Moo Do business lifecycle is our Five Moo Do Values. These give us our unique identity and differentiates us in the marketplace.

As Ko Dan Ja members, it is our responsibility to represent the art in the most professional manner possible. Our training is made up of Shim Gung, Neh Gung and Weh Gung, but it is the Moo Do Shim Gung that is at the heart of our art. It’s easy to see the value of Moo Do Shim Gung that our Founder placed in our training. Of the 8 Key Concepts, the first 5 are related to Moo Do Shim Gung.

Our Moo Do presence and Moo Do Shim Gung are at the heart of the PCA 2 concept. Through their demonstration we create the Teacher Model example.

You will be evaluated during the week in how you apply Moo Do Shim Gung in training and in teaching. The following examples are included to help describe the characteristics of Moo Do Shim Gung and how you will be evaluated in demonstrating:

• Professionalism – How would you describe the characteristics of a highly educated and skilled professional? You might use words like confident, respectful, intelligent, sharp, well dressed, serious, hard working. As Ko Dan Ja candidates you have spent many years studying the Soo Bahk Do® martial art system just as any doctor, CEO, engineer or lawyer studying for their profession. Project the same air of professionalism in your teaching and training as you would find in your family physician or your local community leader. Be respectful of those around you, come to class ready to train and work hard, keep your Do Bok clean and well-pressed, speak with confidence and professionalism and lead by example.

• Proper start and finish – During teaching or training in class it is important to show a proper start and finish for demonstrations. While teaching it is important to have the students sit for demonstrations so that everyone in the class can see your example. Begin and end each demonstration with the proper Choon Bee. Perform your demonstration with the highest effort and concentration on the chain of command (mind- huri-elbow-hand, etc.). Return to Ba Ro for completion of demonstration.

• Proper bow – It is important that we perform every bow with the proper respect and Moo Do Shim Gung while teaching and in training. It keeps us humble and focused on the demonstration of the Moo Duk Kwan® philosophy through action. Every bow is a non- verbal discussion between two or more practitioners. Each bow has a proper start and finish, just like any other demonstration. Start with proper eye contact with your partner, perform the bow together (with eyes to the ground) and end the bow with proper eye contact.

• Awareness of senior members – Look to the needs of your senior members. This applies to your senior by age, Dan Bon or Rank.

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 68 Candidate Written Project Assignment (2017 KDJSS) Note: Candidates testing in Korea are still required to participate in the project assignments.

The 2017 Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa Candidate project is a challenge for candidates to simultaneously undertake vigorous new student recruitment activity at each of your schools with the targeted measurable outcome being the quantity of potential new students that your efforts are able to generate.

Imagine that you are seeking to run your own teaching program or school and thus it is up to you to attract your student body. How would you do so? Instructors and school owners face this challenge every day. After all, you can't be an instructor if you do not have students. The focus of this project is on creating a measurable outcome by turning "theories" about what "might" attract potential new students into actions that "actually do" attract potential new students to schools. The outcome goal of this short term-initiative is to stimulate an uptick in new students much like the Board's 2016 Membership Drive did for some schools. If you are not training at a school, then please select a school to assist.

Part 1 - Individual Contribution • Identify or conceive one or more actionable strategies or tactics for acquiring potential new student leads for your school and then EXECUTE YOUR PLAN. o Measurable results may be generated by and/or include, but are not limited to: ▪ email addresses and/or names acquired from interested prospects (using online forms or texting keyword, etc.) ▪ mobile phone numbers acquired that texted a Keyword (i.e, Text Karate to 70000) ▪ demonstrations conducted and name leads acquired at demos (using forms or texting keyword, etc.) ▪ school summer camps hosted and name leads acquired (using forms or texting keyword, etc.) ▪ birthday parties hosted and name leads acquired (using forms or texting keyword, etc.) ▪ lunch and learn hosted at your job and name leads acquired (using forms or texting keyword, etc.) ▪ elevator pitches presented in public and name leads acquired (using forms or texting keyword, etc.) ▪ events hosted and name leads acquired (Open House, Summer Camp at Studio, Parents Night Out, Bring a friend, etc.) ▪ mailings in proximity to school (postcards, letters, flyers, etc.) ▪ use of any and all theories disclosed in previous KDJSS Projects • 2015 KDJSS Project Outcome available here o contains "theories" that can be turned into "actions" that may generate measurable results

Copyright 2017, U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation 69 • Soo Bahk Do Biz (click the Attract menu item) presents many successful strategies and tactics for attracting new students and even the best months in which some o Submit your own ideas and vote on others • Participate in scheduled KDJSS Candidate group teleconferences (below) and any that will be recorded for future use as training resources.

Part 2 - Group Project • The group work assignment is for all candidates of all ranks to participate in periodic recorded teleconferences among all candidates discussing their planned new student attraction "theories" and "actions" and measurable results achieved to date, challenges encountered, etc.

• Group teleconferences are intended to encourage sharing of ideas that may help each other increase the qty of names that will be on individual results lists at the end of the assignment.

• Recordings of the teleconferences will document the ideas shared and results achieved thus producing a library of new content that can be shared with others on the Institute.

• The challenges and skills related to attracting new students and motivating student participation in events has nothing to do with one's rank, so separating candidates by rank for this type dialog is irrelevant. Group dialog and brainstorming is likely to provide more value to all participants as well as future listeners.

• Headquarters can provide teleconference bridge dial in number and recording instructions upon request.

Expected Outcomes by October 31, 2017 1. Each individual candidate shall submit a report (or video) about the one or more "theories" that were converted to "actions" and report the results achieved (list of names) along with a narrative conveying challenges encountered, what you would do different next time, etc. • Where one or more candidates may have banned together to execute a "theory," then a jointly compiled outcome document or video is acceptable.

• Individual submissions may be a written report or a video containing the expected information. 2. The collective group project outcome shall be the recordings of the teleconferences.

• Live interactive teleconferences might serve as rehearsals for more scripted recorded teleconferences later.

• It is up to the group to figure out how to make outcome recordings that are suitable for future training purposes.
