Thank you for your interest in learning more about the Tang Soo Do
Masters Alliance and the Korean Terms used in classes and other traditional
forums. This page is constantly under construction, so please visit often.
We
get many questions about why certain things are in the image, we hope the
following will explain.
The Eagle represents strength and liberty. The five original founders of the
alliance had the strength to create this new organization, in hopes of
making a better way for their students.
The Master Belt that the eagle is clutching represents the founding Masters
and the strength of the Eagle binding them together.
The American flag and Korean Flags are crossed to signify East meeting West
and the unifying of the two cultures through the martial arts.
As we always say, notice that there is no apostrophe in the word "Masters".
The masters of this alliance built this with their students, for their
students and though they control its direction, they perceive no ownership
of the organization.

I must develop myself in a positive manner, and avoid
anything that could reduce my mental growth or physical health.
I must develop self discipline in order to bring out the best in
myself and others.
I must use common sense before self defense and never be abusive
or offensive.
This is a Black Belt School, we are dedicated, we are motivated,
we are on a quest to be our best.
Tang Soo!
