Jae Nam Training Academy Journal

We talk about black belt being a goal all the time in our classes but what is a black belt?

This week I start my discussion of the qualities of a black belt. The first one is Nature.

Do you have an unconquerable spirit or do you falter in the face of difficultly? Indomitable spirit is a quality that martial artists pull from when the training gets mentally and physically demanding. It's a quality that can be a very valuable asset in all walks of life. Check out this week's episode as I talk about why having an Indomitable Spirit is so important. 

This week I talk about our 6th Tenet of Tang Soo Do, Humility. Humility is an important quality for a martial artist to have. This quality is also necessary to learn anything or improve yourself in general. Check out the episode for more of my thoughts on the subject. 

I also mentioned our T-shirt presale. The presale will end Friday , June 4th. Pick one up here https://stores.inksoft.com/jae_nam_training_academy/shop/home

This week I talk about how self control is important in the martial arts and everyday life. Being in control of one's self is definitely a practice that will result in a person achieving the goals the set out for themselves. How are you practicing self control? I'd love to hear about it. 

Also, I mentioned that we are selling T-shirts! You can pick one up here https://stores.inksoft.com/jae_nam_training_academy

This week I talk about our 4th Tenet of Tang Soo Do, Respect and Obedience. Respect is something that everyone should show towards each other not just in the martial arts. Obedience in the context of learning something new is a way to show respect for the teacher and is necessary when learning the foundations of what you're trying to learn. Join me as I give my thoughts on the subject. 

This week I'm continuing on with our Tenets of Tang Soo Do and talk about the importance of perseverance.

This week I talk about concentration and ways to improve it. We can all use some help with concentration from time to time and in this episode I list some ways to help improve with that. 

For those of you that are interested in utilizing meditation and learning a great "concentration workout" please check our Ki Gong Class.

Now that I've finished going over the 14 Attitude requirements to master Tang Soo Do I'm starting the 7 Tenets of Tang Soo Do. Many martial arts organizations have these types of tenets or rules and the World Tang Soo Do Association is no different. Join me this week as I give my thoughts on Integrity.

This week we finish up the 14 Attitude requirements to master Tang Soo Do. Like many of the other ones on the list, it's pretty self explanatory but there's nothing wrong with a reminder from time to time. 

We're almost done with our series on the 14 Attitude requirements. This week I talk about how to overcome that feeling of idleness we all get at some point in time.
