Taegeuk #5
Meaning: SEON/Wind
This form holds one of the most important concepts for
the advancing martial artist. Wind can be a gentle breeze,
yet as it grows in intensity it gains power and destructive
force until it destroys everything in its path. The true
martial artist can harness this paradoxical strength and
weakness. The more powerful we become through our
Taekwondo training, the more peaceful and calm we
should become. This is the essence of the Tao - the Way.

Ms. Gaby certified 2nd Dan Black Belt.
I joinedTKD in 2007. Before
my first class I was terrified, and
after I was exhausted!! As my
ability to participate increased
(without feeling like passing
out), I fell more and more in love
with TKD; and with the
discipline,strength, coordination,and general ability to defend
myself. I also realized how good
it was for my health (minus the bruises) and my self-
perception. Not many people my age get to do what I do. I
also found the support and care of the TKD family which
was a huge unexpected bonus of joining Silva Martial Arts.
Ireally enjoy working with my classmates and watching the
progress made.It is veryexciting!"
Gaby now proudly holdsher black belt in TKD as well
as a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. She likes to joke: I
still cannot catch or throw a dodge ball... but I make great
cookies!

It can be di#cult to find
the right studio to join, and
not everyone has a friend
who can help them decide
which studio is best for
their needs.
Rate us on Yelp and tell
everyone what you thinkabout SMA! You might just
help someone find their
new passion.

Belt Testing
Why I Love Belt Testing - By Mr. Hurst
You may not realize this, but from the first day you
step onto the mats, your instructors imagine the
Black Belt You; stepping onto those same mats in
5-10 years. Every time I watch a students first
class, I like to imagine...What kind of Black Belt will
they make? How much power will they find within
themselves? What kind of leading roles will they
play for their peers? Will they be a competition
sparrer? An instructor?
Unfortunately most martial artists never make it to
Black Belt. The journey can be scary, time
consuming, challenging, and even frustrating. I
know the reasons all too well myself! In my senioryear of high school (when I tested for Black Belt) I
was very busy. I had to balance my AP classes, after
school programs, a part time job, TKD, and my
family and friends.
And yet, some of you will overcome all these
challenges along the way and become a Black Belt.
You will greatly impact the studio and your
community. This is what I love about belt testing.
We get to see so many of you demonstrate your hard
work, and inch your way closer to the ultimate goal.
A Black Belt not just in martial arts, but in life.

June Tip
It is very important to test
when you are ready, and not
rush through your belts.
Training hard, and
perfecting your basics gives
you stronger skills to build
on later.Very few people test every
time from white to black
belt. Most students miss a
testing once in awhile,
especially at the higher
ranks.
Try not to focus on testing
for belts or stripes. Instead
focus on perfecting yourskills, and doing your
absolute best!
