Thought for the day:

"If you aim at nothing you will hit it everytime"

5 Moo Do Values*

1.  History  (Yeok Sa)
 
History is a chronological record of significant events often including an explanation of their cause.
 
2.  Tradition  (Jon Tong)
 
Tradition is that which is inherited, established, or transmitted and passed on as a customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior; the handing down of information, beliefs, and customs.
 
3.  Philosophy  (Chul Hak)
 
Philosophy is a set of ideas or beliefs relating to a particular field or activity; an underlying theory, a system of values by which one lives; the most general beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group.
 
4.  Discipline/Respect   (Neh Khang Weh Yu)
 
Discipline is the study or practice of a subject using a specific set of methods, terms and approaches.
 
Respect is the objective, unbiased consideration and regard for the rights, values, beliefs and property of all people; deference and courteous regard for people's feelings.
 
5.  Technique  (Ki Sool)
 
Technique is the manner in which technical details are treated or as basic physical movements are used.   Techniques are very visible elements of Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan.
