TAE GEUK is the name given to the red and blue

circle on the Korean ag (Taegukki). Tae Geuk

represents the unity of opposites that composes

the cosmos. Its characteristics are often described

as pacism, unity, creative spirit, future spirit,

eternity, and Um and Yang (Yin and Yang in

Chinese). Um (earth, female - the blue lower half of

the circle) and Yang (heaven, male - the red upper

half) are themselves opposites in delicate balance. Remember that each is dependent upon the other:

without ugliness there is no beauty; without night there is no day; without cold there is no hot; withoutwinter there is no summer. By maintaining the balance and harmony of these opposing forces,

characteristics and elements in everyday life, we experience the Do (or Tao in Chinese) that is at the

heart of our chosen martial art: Taekwondo.

There are eight Tae Geuk Poomse, or forms (perhaps better known under their Japanese name of Kata),

and each is represented by a di " erent Gwe, or theory (which explains the derivation of the term

Palgwe, meaning eight theories, which was the name for the original Taekwondo poomse). In addition

to its Gwe, every poomse also has an associated Chinese trigram drawn from the I Ching (the Chinese

Book of Changes). In the trigrams, the straight lines represent Yang, or male, and the broken lines

represent Um, or female.dependent upon the other: without ugliness there is no beauty; without night

there is no day; without cold there is no hot; without winter there is no summer. By maintaining the

balance and harmony of these opposing forces, characteristics and elements in everyday life, we

experience the Do (or Tao in Chinese) that is at the heart of our chosen martial art: Taekwondo.

New Year’s News

New Year’s ResolutionsPick up a new year’s resolution form from Mr.

Hurst this month, and ll it out for our traditional

wall of student resolutions!

Fitness, Lifestyle, & Health

One of our black belts and instructors (Ms.

Jennifer Parker) has started an exciting new blogabout getting healthy by your own rules, without

sacricing the things you love.

Follow French Fry Fitness to nd a new, healthier

balance in your life whether you are looking to lose

weight, or just feel better! (www.frenchfrytness.com )

Update On Mr. HurstMr. Hurst is recovering well from surgery, and

returns January 6th. It will take some time before he

is able to exercise with the class, but he is healthy,

happy, and excited to return to the studio!

The surgery was a microvascular decompression

to relieve his symptoms of glossopharyngeal

neuralgia ... Or in other words, a fancy sponge

placement in the brain stem to relieve pressure on a

nerve (this pressure causes pain, but does not a " ect

his ability to speak). It is too soon to tell whether

the surgery was successful, but time will tell.

Rate us on Yelp!

It can be di # cult to ndthe right studio to join, andnot everyone has a friendwho can help them decidewhich studio is best fortheir needs.

Rate us on Yelp and telleveryone what you thinkabout SMA! You might justhelp someone nd theirnew passion.

Use your recess

Recess time is a great break inthe middle of a school day! It’stime to let out your energy,and play with friends.

Playing games with yourfriends at recess isn’t just fun,

and healthy...it’s also good foryour schoolwork. If you getout all your energy at recess,it is much easier to focus onclass afterwards.

So make sure you play goodand hard at recess. Don’t sitdown and relax, get out thereand play tag or kick some ballsaround the yard. You’ll havemore fun with friends, and itwill be easier to learn in class!
