    9th Gup Yellow Stripe – Foundations of Taekwon-Do

    ***UPDATE*** I was not happy with the audio mastering on this recording. I spent some time remastering the audio and hope that it is in improvement. Origional In this episode of Taekwon-Do Theory, we explore the foundational knowledge required for 9th Gup (Yellow Stripe) students. We begin with the core movements, Saju Jurugi (four-directional punch) and Saju Maki (four-directional block), which form the technical base of early Taekwon-Do training. From there, we break down the Student Oath and the Five Tenets of Taekwon-Do: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit. We also examine the definition of Taekwon-Do. Finally, we cover essential dojang etiquette and protocols, reinforcing the importance of respect, discipline, and proper conduct in training.
