Master Ko Baek-yong passed away three years ago on October 5, 2017. This year on October 3 will we honor him, as we do every year, with a special training assignment. We ask the members of our organisation to add the following to their training on that day:

• 100 Jeonhwanbeop (circle steps)
• 100 Yeongnyubeop (flow steps)
• 100 Simhwanbeop (harmony steps)

Master Ko Baek-yong always stressed the importance of practicing and refining your basic skills. He himself did this by doing 1000 jeonhwanbeop every day for a long period.

Grind an axe to make a needle

There is a Korean saying that says ‘ma bu jak chim’ (마부작침(磨斧作針)). Meaning: To make a needle by grinding an axe. The expression implies that you can achieve something eventually if you endure however difficult the obstacles are, and work really hard.
