STUDY SHEET FOR YOUR RANK TEST
General Knowledge:
1) Taekwondo originated in Korea.
2) The word Taekwondo means ―The Art of the Hands and Feet‖.
3) Our style of Taekwondo was founded by the Korean Army General Choi Hong Hi on April 11, 1955.
4) Our style of Taekwondo is known as ―Chang Hon‖ Taekwondo.
5) Three objectives of Taekwondo: Justice, Harmony, Charity
6) Number one priority of Taekwondo: To build a more peaceful world

Tenets of Taekwondo:
1) Courtesy—Respect for and consideration of yourself and others. Politeness.
2) Integrity — Following a strict moral and ethical code. Being honest and loyal.
3) Perseverance — Continuing despite challenges. Never give up. Following through to achieve your goals.
4) Self Control — The ability to control your emotions and desires. Exhibiting patience and discipline.
5) Indomitable Spirit — Maintaining inner strength and a positive attitude regardless of challenges. Bravery; Courage.

Classroom Commands/Korean words:
1) Charyut—Attention stance
2) Kyung ne—Bow
3) Jhoon bee—Ready stance
4) Bah ro– Back to ready stance
5) Shee jak—Begin
6) Ko man—Stop
7) Dobok—Uniform
8) Dojang—Martial arts studio
All ages and levels should be familiar with these words and their meanings.
Younger children (4 & 5 year olds) should know at least the one or two word definition of each Tenet of Taekwondo, as listed
above, as well as all of the other information listed above.
Parents—this information, these words, definitions, etc. are used EVERY day in the studio. Your child hears these commands each
time they’re in class. They KNOW these commands and their meanings. You just may need to help refresh their memory every
once and a while. Study with your child at home. He/she will be more than ready for his next test if you practice and study.

2) Intermediate—Won Hyo; 28 movements; Closed ready stance ―A‖
3) Advanced—Toi Gae; 37 movements; Closed ready stance ―B‖
4) Black belts—Choi Yong; 46 movements; Closed ready stance ―C‖

Bonus question: Mr. Lord is going to ask students this question to see who’s reading the newsletter and who’s not.
How many patterns are there in our style of Taekwondo? There are a total of 24 officially recognized patterns, representing the
24 hours in a complete day, or one's complete lifetime.

NEED MOTIVATION? NEED EMPOWERMENT?
Martial arts is an activity and a discipline that can change your life. Along with
the physical benefits that will become evident, as you train in our Academy, you
will notice your confidence level rise. This increased self esteem often leads to
other changes taking place in your life. Positive benefits are endless when you
feel good and when you feel confident.

There’s nobody who holds their head higher than an individual who is sure that
they can defend themselves or defend their family if they ever need to. Martial arts provides you with
stepping stones to gain the self defense knowledge you need to feel empowered.

Make this year the year that you become all you can be. Arm yourself with self defense knowledge.

Call for more information on classes, for you or for a friend. 561-790-5422

WE’RE AVAILABLE FOR MOTIVATIONAL WORKSHOPS FOR GIRL SCOUTS, BOY
SCOUTS, CORPORATIONS , WOMEN’S GROUPS, SCHOOLS, AND MORE.
The instructors of Allstar Martial Arts Academy are available (in our studio or at your facility) for
motivational and empowering workshops/seminars.
Does your Girl Scout Troop need to earn a badge for Self Defense? Call us to schedule a private group
workshop to teach your girls self defense.

Does your corporate team need a workshop on
empowerment? Call us to schedule an Empower Hour Board
Breaking Workshop just for you.

Do your Boy Scouts need a few lessons on important life skills?
Call us to schedule a Workshop on courtesy, integrity,
perseverance, where they will participate in physical drills to
demonstrate these very important life skills.

We are available for Career Days at your school and often
sneak in a great lesson about Bullying and Self Defense at the
same time.

The discipline and respect that is inherent to martial arts is obvious when Mr. or Mrs. Lord (with over 26/23,
respectively, years of experience each) speak to a class or group. They enjoy sharing their knowledge on
discipline, confidence, team building, perseverance, integrity….the list goes on and on. It is their goal to
develop these very important like skills in as many individuals as they can. The students of Allstar Martial
Arts Academy have access to their life skills training as part of each and every martial arts class they attend.

We would like others to reap the same benefits from these life skills, which are a value throughout your
lifetime. If you are interested in a workshop or seminar for your group, call us for more information.
