Chil JangTAE GEUK 7 —KAN/Mountain
Mountains are the most majestic expressions of our natural environment, and they clearly represent permanence, wisdom, strength, spirit, stability and solidity.
Once again, we are faced with a paradox, for Tae Guek Chil Jang requires the demonstration of all these characteristics - particularly stability - in the long, low and powerful forward stances, and even in the graceful but seemingly weak and unstable cross stance and tiger stance. Chil Jang is a difficult form which requires mental and physical effort and determination.

Rate us on Yelp!
It can be difficult 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 think about SMA! You might just help someone find their new passion.
Mr EliasWe would like to officially
welcome our newest staff member Mr. Elias Sanchez.
Elias has been with SMA for 10 years and has always
been dedicated, kind, respectful and very humble!
We know he will make a great addition to our team.

ANSWER: _ _ _ _ _(Use the letters in the red circles!)
How do you say “uniform” in Korean?
What does it take?Black Belt is a fantastic goal, but do you know how you to get there?
In order to achieve Black Belt, you need to know all the color belt techniques: kicks, blocks, forms, one steps= from every belt level. There are also black belt techniques to learn!
But don’t let this scare you. The belt system trains you on all of these techniques slowly as you advance.
It is true that Black Belt takes a lot of hard work, but you are already doing some of that work right now. Just keep up your practice, hard work, and good attitude, and you’ll be there one day!
