I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
~ Bruce Lee
Many of my students are so amazed when they see me perform a jump spin hook kick or a tornado kick. Very seldom do I use these techniques in fighting. Why you may ask. There are quite a few reasons. First of all my front kick is much more perfected than either of these two. I have practiced a front kick 1,000 times for every 1 time I have practiced these kicks. Secondly when sparring I maintain a certain level of control that a front kick affords me. After nearly two decades of training in Tang Soo Do I always find myself going back to my basics. I good workout for me always includes front kick, round kick, side kick, & hook kick. Practice the basics until they become reflex rather than reaction.

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her.
~David Brinkley
This is a necessary trait to becoming successful. On your path to success you will encounter many obstacles and some of them will be others telling you why everything you are doing is wrong. Look at the people doing this and if they don't have what you want for yourself don't listen to them, or else that is what you will end up with. A confident person will move forward with their life based o their own beliefs and create the future they envision.

Character, not circumstance, makes the person.
— Booker T. Washington
Character in a true martial artist is just as, if not more important than physical skills and ability. Martial Arts is a lifelong journey and will assist a person into developing and cultivating character. One can spend a lifetime practicing the physical skills of martial arts. In the end those skills will begin to diminish with age. It is through all of this training that your character will be at its finest. That is when you will truly be respected and be at your greatest capacity to have a positive influence on the community. As the quote infers, character is defined from within. The deeper the conviction the more likely it will prevail, even under stressful circumstances.
4/26/2009 Martial Arts Teaches Self Discipline
An important factor in the level of overall success one experiences in life is self-discipline. What is self-discipline? To keep it simple it is the level of mastery one has achieved over their own body, mind, and spirit. It is the ability one has to push forward, even under difficult times, in order to achieve goals. Goal setting and self-discipline can take you very far in life.

If at first you don't succeed your not Chuck Norris. Interestingly enough Chuck Norris was traditionally trained in Tang Soo Do in Korea at one of the same schools Grandmaster Chong Su Kim trained in. Being that after coming back to the US he won 6 consecutive national championships this shows that Tang Soo Do is an effective form of self-defense. Gradnmaster Kim was also an undefeated all Asain champion.
