Soar Training: Hyung

A new testing cycle begins again; we are 14 weeks from our next test on Sep. 9. As is our tradition, we will lay the foundation of this testing cycle with forms-week. Forms (형) are the basis of our martial art. That does not mean that the art was developed from the form, but the form was developed to capture and codify a variety of techniques. Forms are used to transmit martial knowledge from teacher to student repeatedly. It is the responsibility of the student to know, analyze, understand, and apply each technique of the form in dynamic ways.

Our 12th Attitude requirement is:
When you learn new techniques, learn thoroughly the theory and philosophy as well.

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, 
and the one who understands obtain guidance, 
to understand a proverb and a saying, 
the words of the wise and their riddles. (Prov. 1:5-6)
