I am pleased that you have decided to pursue the traditional martial art of Tang Soo Do, and wish you the best in your endeavors. I formed the Hwa Rang World Tang Soo Do Federation in 1994 because I saw the necessity of an association that not only emphasized Tang Soo Do technique, but the virtues of faithfulness, perseverance, and honesty as well. My wish for my students and the members of this federation is that they will not only grow in their Tang Soo Do Technique, but also in their personal and spiritual lives. We are seeking to develop the body in conjunction with the mind, not for its own sake, but for the benefit for others. When one has good physical and mental health, he or she can be more dedicated to the family, the Nation, and even the World. Tang Soo Do can and should be a way of thought and life, in which one puts aside himself for the good of everyone around him.Tang Soo Do is not a sport. Though it is not essentially competitive, it has great combat applications. As a classical martial art, its purpose is to develop every aspect of the self, in order to create a mature person who totally integrates his/her intellect, body, emotions, and spirit. This integration helps to create a person who is free from inner conflict and who can deal with the outside world. I can only guide you in your study of Tang Soo Do. In the end, it is you that will achieve your goals. If you want to be a Great Warrior, you must be willing to sacrifice the time and effort to reach it. Do not just attend class, but analyze the techniques, dissect the movements. "Perfect practice makes perfect,'' and perfection only comes if you work for it. If you are willing to dedicate yourself to the study of Tang Soo Do, you will reap the physical, spiritual, and mental benefits that come along with it. Best wishes, Grand Master Ho Sik Pak
