The Art of Dae Ryun - Building the Foundation

In this series, we are going to explore the art of Dae Ryun (sparring) and why it is a critical part of your Tang Soo Do training.

We are going to look at energy in this article at both the micro and macro level. We are also going to look at why understanding energy is the key to building a healthy, balanced life, as well as effective self defense. Since this article is being written for martial artists, it is important to remember that energy is a product of proper balance. What we put in our mind and body, how much sleep we get, the food we eat, all directly affect our energy level.

The Right Action can also be translated as the right conduct or the right behavior. As such, a black belt leader, champion, and or master trains him or herself to take action and to be morally upright at all times. This includes acting in a way that brings honor to oneself and to others.

The right thoughts are central to reaching self mastery. Peak performance starts with the right understanding which is always based on the right thoughts. The truth is you can’t have one without the other.
