1 Welcome To Traditional Korean Martial Arts Student & Parent Studio Guide

2 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your decision to enroll in Tang Soo Do! This art is designed to develop individual character, mental strength, integrity, discipline, and respect. In Tang Soo Do, students learn respect for authority figures, including parents, as well as respect for him/herself and others. Tang Soo Do encourages courtesy, patience, loyalty, honesty, and self-control... values that are not specifically taught in most Western sports. Values learned in the studio give the student concrete, practical guidelines for behavior in their life. Martial arts training also helps alleviate the fear most children have about handling themselves if someone physically confronts them. Tang Soo Do is a traditional martial art that traces its roots back to ancient Korea. For more than 2000 years, the art has been passed down from instructor to student. Throughout its rich history, Tang Soo Do has been refined and polished. Today, the World Tang Soo Do Association continues to ensure that our art remains the best in the world. A studio certified by our Association and headed by a trained, certified Black Belt instructor is a guarantee of the best martial arts instruction available today. Our founder and leader, Grandmaster Jae Chul Shin first brought Tang Soo Do to the United States in 1968 and quickly saw it sweep across the country. Within a few short years, requests for Tang Soo Do training began pouring in from countries all over the world, so in 1982, he founded the World Tang Soo Do Association. Now, Tang Soo Do is taught in more than 30 countries in 6 continents and has hundreds of thousands of students worldwide. Again, congratulations and a warm welcome to both of you!

3 Attendance Attendance is the key to progress. We recommend a minimum of two classes per week to gain the maximum benefits Tang Soo Do offers. We also recommend that you attend on consistent days and times each week to make your attendance with our school part of your weekly schedule. Parents dropping off children should do so 15 minutes prior to the class and pick them up within 15 minutes of class ending. The school becomes very busy around class time and we cannot be responsible for watching unattended children. Please communicate to the instructor any obstacles you may have so we may assist you in overcoming them. Overcoming obstacles and experiencing the exhilaration of victory is one way we teach our students how to build self-discipline, confidence and perseverance. Since our classes are limited for the best instructor/student ratio, your tuition also pays to reserve your space in class whether you attend or not, therefore, we cannot pro-rate payments for missed classes. We do understand illnesses or other unexpected situations arise which will cause you to miss class. You can attend extra classes in order to make up missed classes. Uniforms Student uniforms consist of white, traditional Tang Soo Do uniform with the Haydens Dojang logo, plus a belt. Green, Brown and Red Belt students have the earned privilege of wearing the appropriate color trim on the jacket lapel. Black Belts wear the same uniform but with black trim on the lapel and edges of the jacket with an embroidered Black Belt. School or white t-shirts can be worn underneath the uniform top and tucked neatly into the pants. Bottom of the t-shirt cannot be seen hanging out. During the summer months of June, July, and August, our school t-shirt may be substituted for the uniform top and tucked neatly into the pants. Students should not wear rings, watches, necklaces, earrings or any sort of jewelry in class. We also recommend that you leave all valuables at home. Your Tang Soo Do uniform should always be kept clean and wrinkled free. Do not wash your belt. If everyone keeps themselves neat, clean & odor free it makes for a more enjoyable environment.

5 CLASS PROTOCOL Students should arrive at least 15 minutes before class is scheduled to begin. Upon entering (and leaving) the Dojang (studio), students should bow to the instructor and salute the flags. Once inside the Dojang, the student should quietly begin warming up and stretching off to the side. For safety reasons, no gum is allowed and all jewelry and watches should be removed. If a student arrives late, he or she should prepare him/herself for class and then wait to the side until he or she is recognized by the instructor and asked to join the class. If a student must leave class, he or she should first receive permission from the instructor. One of the most misunderstood aspects of training in a traditional martial art is the meaning of the bow or Kyung Yet. In Tang Soo Do, the bow is a form of greeting and sign of respect. (This is the same reason why all Black Belts are to be called Sir or Ma am by Gup students.) A student is expected to bow to his or her instructors, all Black Belts and Masters, whether in the studio or out, and also to his/her opponents. The bow is never interpreted as the student being less or lower than the senior rank, but it is an expression of his or her humility, courtesy, pride, and selfesteem. Black Belts and senior ranks are also expected to return the bow. A person who can show humility is a truly capable leader. PHOTOGRAPHY Parents and family members are strongly encouraged to attend promotions, tournaments, and other special Tang Soo Do events. These special events make wonderful opportunities to photograph or videotape your son or daughter in action. We ask, however, that you do not bring cameras to the studio to photograph or tape any students while they are training in regular classes. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
