Soar Training: Hyung

Posted on 14 March 2021 by Calvert

Tang Soo Do is a traditional martial art. Therefore, we are a forms-based martial arts system. Our forms are called hyung (형 or 형태) and come from Korea, Japan, Okinawa, and China. From our hyungs (or forms) we learn all the basics of Tang Soo Do. From the hyung, We learn kinesthetic awareness (how long our arms and legs are). We learn how to move our body weight and where our center of gravity is located. Your goal is always to move as smoothly as possible. The hyung teaches patience, diligence, and dedication.

I want you to bring a staff with you, I have a limited few you may borrow in class. You do not need anything fancy. A staff is just a long stick about your height. Here is a suggested resource less than $10.

Class Schedule is Mondays & Tuesdays
1730-1800: ages 5-10
1800-1900: ages 10 to Adult
We are now located at the Spirit of Fort Hood Chapel Gym

For those testing this Saturday, GOOD LUCK! You all will do great!
