MARTIAL ARTS SPIRIT ...
POWER OF THE MIND AND BODY
Based on Eternal Grand Master Lee's years of experience with 500,000
members, he knows that the martial arts spirit is a major ingredient in the
positive shaping of lives. This unique spirit provides focus, concentration,
awareness, elevated self-esteem, and confidence to accompany
Taekwondo's life saving skills.
At ATA (American Taekwondo Association®), our goal is to inspire
our students with dynamic martial arts spirit as we share with them the
techniques of self-defense in Taekwondo.
The catalyst for success in Taekwondo - and indeed in life - is to try
hard. It is the act of doing one's absolute best at all times, in all situations.
The martial arts spirit becomes a truly indomitable weapon in
confronting the unwanted advances of an attacker, and in addition, the
rigors of everyday life. For the adult, it includes the confidence and
determination to succeed in your chosen profession. For the child it
provides the focus and concentration to excel in school and the courage to
say "NO" to those who corrupt the principles learned at home.
In summary, ATA Taekwondo is more -- much more -- than selfdefense. It can , and will, become an integral part of your life. Plug into
the unlimited power of ATA's Taekwondo and use it now.
You'll be glad you did!
HISTORY OF AMERICAN TAEKWONDO ASSOCIATION®
Eternal Grand Master H. U. Lee began his "way" in Taekwondo after learning in the streets, then
in a professional school in his home town of Seoul under the direction of Grand Masters Duk Sung
Son, Jong Myong Hyun, and UnKyu Eom. Then, as today, there was a shortage of qualified people
who wanted to teach the art, so a young red belt, H.U. Lee begins to teach after receiving his
instructor's permission.
Later Haeng Ung Lee as a 3rd Degree joined the Korean Army to teach the military intelligence
people. He found himself on a cold island of the coast of North Korea. He made several covert
combat missions.
After serving his country he opened a professional school in Osan, near a U.S. Air Force base and
found success. He later opened branch schools. An American Airman at the base offered help for
him to come to American to teach. Grand Master Lee knew even then that teaching Traditional
Taekwondo all over the U. S. and the world was his life's goal.
Once in the U.S., Grand Master Lee first worked to build his first school in Omaha, Nebraska.
Then he turned to fellow senior Korean and American instructors to build an organization. In 1969
the American Taekwondo Association® was founded.

SONGAHM SPIRIT OF TAEKWONDO
As ATA/STF events begins:
"Sir!
I will practice in the Spirit of Taekwondo,
with COURTESY for fellow students,
LOYALTY for my instructor,
And RESPECT for my juniors and seniors,
Sir!"
As ATA/STF events ends:
"Sir!
I shall live with PERSEVERANCE
in the Spirit of Taekwondo,
having HONOR with others,
INTEGRITY within myself,
and SELF CONTROL in my actions,
Sir!"
PURPOSE AND PRACTICALITY
At ATA Taekwondo, our objective is to repeat our primary goals on a daily basis, to firmly
instill our Songahm Spirit of Taekwondo in each of our students.
Like a computer, our brains emit good information when programmed properly. The alternative
is "garbage in, garbage out".
Especially with our younger students, we feel it is necessary to develop for them a positive
structure and pledge around which to build their character.
Learn your Songahm Spirit of Taekwondo and recite it with feeling, thinking about the depth of
the meaning. As you progress in your martial arts, you will increasingly understand the
implications and purpose of the Songahm Spirit of Taekwondo Pledge.
ATA MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
1. A student with a current ATA membership that is actively participating in an ATA school/club may
use a "60-day visitation privilege" if vacationing or on a business trip near another ATA school/club. The
student, as a matter of courtesy, should have a letter of introduction from his/her instructor and must have
permission from both their current school/club and the one that they will be attending prior to showing up
for class.
2. A student with a current ATA membership that is moving to a new location, may transfer his/her
membership to the new school. The transfer is handled by the instructors according to ATA policy. You
must inform both the original instructor and the new instructor of the intention to relocate prior to making
the transfer.
3. A student with a current ATA membership may attend any sanctioned ATA tournament by
registering and paying the necessary fee. These tournaments are not open to non-ATA members.
Therefore, quality and good sportsmanship, as well as safety, can be maintained.
4. All ATA members will receive a quarterly issue of THE WAY magazine. This magazine is written
for ATA members and covers profiles, special defensive moves, "how to" for kicking techniques, and
many unique articles about special people in the ATA.
5. You will receive with your orange belt an official American Taekwondo Association® member
patch. This red, white, and blue patch (with ATA in the center) is to be sewn on the right breast of the
uniform. Place this patch on the uniform as soon as you receive it.
6. Your membership also registers you and your current rank on our computer system at the ATA \
WTTU World Headquarters in little Rock, Arkansas. Your rank is recognized throughout the world by
any Songahm Taekwondo affiliate. Upon each successful testing, you will receive a certificate verifying
your new rank. You may hang this certificate on your wall and create a collection as you move through
the ranks.
7. Included with the results of your first testing is your new ATA membership card. Use this card to
register for testings and tournaments.
8. ATA also provides a toll free number for use by instructors and members. This number is available
for every ATA member, however, most questions or concerns can be answered on a local level by
contacting your instructor or a regional officer that your instructor might recommend. If your desire to
contact the World Headquarters in Little Rock, please acquire the number from your instructor.
YOUR LOCAL INSTRUCTOR
Unlike many martial arts organizations, you have to be more than just a senior student to be certified by
the ATA as an instructor. Many organizations will give the instructor status to students that have not
even obtained the rank of black belt. Grand Master Lee's vision of quality instruction has required a
systematic teaching program that will develop the necessary skills within a person to qualify them as a
Songahm instructor. Furthermore, all instructors must complete an extensive training program which
includes special clinics and camps designed to develop them, as well as apply this knowledge in a
minimum of 300 teaching hours. All of this must take place after reaching the skill level of 1st degree
black belt.
Just as you have an instructor, your instructor also has a senior instructor. It's almost like a family tree.
Your instructor or "sah-bum-nim" must give the same courtesy and respect to the person who trained
him/her as is expected of you. Respecting seniors follows a chain of command that extends all the way
up to the Grand Master himself.
CLASS ROOM COURTESY

PARENT / INSTRUCTOR RELATIONSHIP
These tips, written by an instructor, will help you as a parent complete the
Parent / Student / Instructor relationship that is important to have for your child's successful training.
1. We suggest that you set a schedule of at least two lessons per week, if possible. The student
should attend often enough to retain information and progress smoothly. Remind your child when it is
time to get ready for class; and help him get his things together. (His instructor will not let him use you as
an excuse if he does not have all his equipment and his complete uniform.) As the novelty of the program
begins to fade, other activities may divert your child's attention from his Taekwondo lessons. If he balks at
coming, simply say that he doesn't have to participate. Put his uniform in the car, and bring him to class to
"watch." Once he arrives, his attitude will likely change. It is important that you use this opportunity to
teach your child to honor commitments – not to "quit."
2. If a student is in ill health, he should not attend class. If he has an injury, he may benefit from
attending the class as an observer or in limited participation. (Speak with the instructor before the class
begins.)
3. Each student is expected to maintain a clean, pressed uniform. It does not have to be freshly
laundered for each class, but should look fresh and clean at all times.
4. If a student is in need of a quick snack before coming to class, please avoid snacks containing
refined sugar and avoid milk products. Fruit juices and nuts are quick and nutritious choices.
5. Practice courteous and respectful responses at home. For example, a student should begin by using
"sir" and "ma'am" at appropriate times.
6. Give strong emotional support to your child. Ask what he learned at class, praise effort (not ability),
and watch his progress from time to time. It is not necessary that the parent attend every class. The child
must learn to concentrate, which is sometimes difficult when the parent is in the room. You and the
instructor can make this judgment together.
7. If you have questions concerning the methods or material in the lessons, please make an
appointment to speak with the instructor. The instructors have specific goals for all classes and for
each child. Because you know your child, you are encouraged to be an active part of the goal-setting
process. If you feel that your child has negative or frustrated feelings, please try to identify the reasons)
and speak to the instructor about them, even if they are not Taekwondo related.
8. Discipline is not punishment, it is training. The dictionary states that discipline is "training that
produces moral or mental improvement"... one of Taekwondo's major goals. Training means forming new
habits and correcting old habits. The child may see no reason to make an effort to change. At that time,
he may make negative comments about his instructor and the school, just as he probably does, at times,
regarding his school teacher. Avoid joining your child in criticizing the program or the instructor until you
have had an opportunity to have a conference with the instructor. The instructor is interested in your
child's progress, and that progress is best accomplished when the parents are an active part of the team
relationship.
9. Please inform the instructor of any special characteristics or temporary circumstances that may
interfere with your child's learning process.
10. Each student should bring his report card to the instructor each time grades are received. The
instructors are interested in the "whole child," and will support you in encouraging your child's academic
effort. Most parents find that Taekwondo training brings significant academic improvement by developing
better skills in memory, concentration, and following directions as well as improved conduct, responsibility
and respect.

Form Meaning
The name of your form is SongAhm which means: “Pine tree temple.”
Pine tree is known as
evergreen…Evergreen has strength the year round and a long life. Evergreen is a symbol of unchanging human
loyalty.
Color Belt Philosophy
The following is the basic meaning behind the color of your belt. If you would like a more detailed description of
the philosophy behind your rank, please refer to volume one of Grand Master Lee’s collection on traditional
Taekwondo entitled, “The Way of Traditional Taekwondo.”
The philosophical interpretation of the White Belt is…
Pure and without the knowledge of SongAhm Taekwondo. As with the Pine Tree, the seed must now be planted
and nourished to develop strong roots.”
The student has no knowledge of SongAhm Taekwondo and begins with a clean (pure) slate.
Form – Individual action
Forms are a tool that an instructor uses to teach a student all the basics and kicks systematically…beginning
stage to advanced. It is essential for you as a student of Taekwondo to learn how to develop focus, correct
techniques, balance, speed, power, and feeling of movements.
The forms are broken down into segments. The segments are combinations of techniques that create a natural
flow to the form.
Segments break down: 2-2-2-3-2-2-2-3
SongAhm IL-Jahng (1) was developed by Grand Master Lee and dedicated Senior Instructors. It has 18
movements and its Ki-haps are on the 7th movements (right side kick), and the 16th movement (left side kick).
One-Step Sparring – Transition utility
One-steps are a tool that an instructor uses to prepare a student for sparring. It is essential for you as a student
of Taekwondo to learn how to judge distance, focus technique to specific body targets, execute techniques while
the body is in motion (timing), and concentrate while under pressure of an attack. Take your time in each one of
the one-steps to see that you are focusing on the important attributes listed above.

The philosophical interpretation of the Orange Belt is:
“The sun is beginning to rise.
As with the morning’s dawn, only the beauty of the
sunrise is seen rather than the immense power.”
The beginner student sees the beauty of the art of Taekwondo
but has not yet experienced the power of the technique.
In order to develop good techniques, you should pay attention to detail for all basics (hand techniques). Such as
the beginning point—where your hand starts, ending point—target, direction—shortest line form beginning point to
ending point, rotation—twisting toward the end of your technique, and correct hand set up. A house which is built
on sand will not last very long. Pay close attention to the 5 elements you see above.
SongAhm EE-Jahng (2) has 23 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 10th movements (left knifehand strike), and
the 21st movement (right knifehand strike).
Timing is very important in one step sparring practice. Learn how to respond to your partner’s attack, so pay
attention in class to your instructor. Remember that in this type of exercise, you want to practice as realistically as
possible.
When you defend, it is imperative to evade as double defense in each one-step sparring.
#1 is designed to evade backward, #2 is designed to evade left, and #3 is designed to evade right.
4. Attend Three (3) One-Step Classes in testing cycle—Held Every Friday, check the schedule for your
class time. (Black Belt and Master Club Only)

The philosophical interpretation of the Yellow Belt is:
“The seed is beginning to see the sunlight.”
The student begins to understand the basics of Taekwondo.
In order to develop good techniques, you should pay attention to detail for all kicks (foot techniques). Such as the
Chamber—loading position, Execution—direction, Re-chamber—reload position after kick is thrown, and Pivot—
turning your standing leg. Pay close attention to the 4 elements you see above.
SongAhm Sahm-Jahng (3) has 28 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 7th movement (right punch), the 8th
movement (left punch), and the 17th movement (left jump front kick).
Focusing, hitting the proper target is another important part of the one-step sparring training. One of the biggest
concepts of defense is against the weak areas of your opponent. All humans have weak areas that we call
pressure points or vital spots, regardless of size or how strong that individual might be.
Remember, when you defend, it is imperative to evade as double defense in each one-step sparring. #1 is
designed to evade left, and #3 is designed to evade backward.

The philosophical interpretation of the Camouflage Belt is:
“The sapling is hidden amongst the taller pines and must now fight its way upwards.”
The student begins to realize his/her place in the world’s largest martial art.
The student must now begin to spar in order to promote in rank.
Attitude is one of the most important aspects you should display when you practice form. All achievers have one
thing in common, they have a “yes, I can” attitude. If you say “I can’t”, you have defeated yourself, and you didn’t
even try.
Everybody is afraid of failing. Look at failing as one step closer to success rather than as an ending.
SongAhm Sah-Jahng (4) has 31 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 7th movement (left back fist),and the 24th
movement (right knifehand strike).
Distance is one of the most important attributes to one-step sparring practice. Learn how to strike a target without
fully extending your hands and legs. It is recommended to practice with a target such as a bag or a pad for
learning distance and power.
Remember, when you defend, it is imperative to evade as double defense in each one-step sparring. Keep your
hands up during all motions as protection. #1 is designed to evade right, #2 is designed to evade backward, and
#3 is designed to evade left.
Free Sparring
Free sparring for testing should be done to exhibit proper technique for the camouflage belt level in combination
form. Each student should demonstrate their knowledge and skill of various techniques while using the control of
no contact to light contact. Full sparring gear is required at testing. This consists of: Hand and Foot pads, Head
gear, Chest Protector, Face Shield, Cup and Support (males), and Mouthpiece.

The philosophical interpretation of the Green Belt is:
“The pine tree is beginning to develop and grow in strength.”
The student’s technique is developing power.
The components of the basic techniques are beginning to work in unison.
Balance is an important part of your training, sol please pay attention to detail elements.
Solid Sole—keep your heel down on the floor.
Body position—keep your body as upright as possible while kicking. Remember, reaching high is
secondary. The most important quality of kicking is proper technique and balance.
Hand position—keep your hands in guard position while kick is being performed.
Eye contact—keep your eyes on target before, during, and after execution of each technique.
SongAhm Oh-Jahng (5) has 34 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 10th movement (right side kick),and the
25th movement (right reverse spearhand thrust).
Remember, when you defend, it is imperative to evade as double defense in each one-step sparring. Keep your
hands up during all motions as protection. #1 is designed to evade backward—no block, #2 is designed to evade
left—45 degree angle toward your opponent, and #3 is designed to evade right.
Free Sparring
Free sparring for testing should be done to exhibit proper technique for the green belt level in combination form.
Sparring stance—set up your feet which should be a little wider than shoulder width between front to back. The
back foot’s heel should be in line with the front foot’s toe. For your mobility, put your weight on the balls of your
feet.
5. Attend Three (3) Sparring and Sparring Segment Classes in testing cycle—Held Every Friday, check
the schedule for your class time. (Black Belt and Master Club Only)

Form Meaning
The name of your form is IN WHA which means: “An unbroken glory.”
The philosophical interpretation of the Purple Belt is:
“Coming to the mountain. The tree is in mid-growth and now the path becomes steep.”
The student has crossed over into a higher level of SongAhm Taekwondo. The techniques, forms, and
level of sparring become more difficult, creating a “mountain” that must be overcome.
Speed will be developed only after you strengthen your muscles. A Ply-O-Metrics workout will be excellent for
explosive and dynamic movements. Consult with your instructor on this matter. Relaxation is also a key to speed
during motion. Don’t have tension all of the time. The only time you should tighten your muscles is right before
reaching your target.
In Wha IL Jahng (1) has 44 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 14th movement (right back elbow strike),the
24th movement (left punch), and the 34th movement (right side kick).
Board Breaking—Evidence of Power
Purple belts will break 1 station and only 1 board regardless of age or gender. Board sizes will be the same as
prescribed in the Instructor manual.

1. Knifehand strike
2. Elbow Strike
3. Palm Heel Strike
5. Attend Three (3) Sparring and Sparring Segment Classes in testing cycle—Held Every Friday, check the

The philosophical interpretation of the Blue Belt is:
“The tree reaches for the sky towards new heights.”
Having passed the midway point, the student focuses his/her energy upwards toward Black Belt.
Power comes from many different sources. Distance, timing, speed, and body weight—shoulder and hips must
set direction of strike. Remember, power is a combination of all basic skills. If you have a problem displaying
power, check the following basics. Make sure you are performing your techniques correctly. Second, check your
balance. And last, check with your instructor for more detailed guidelines.
In Wha EE Jahng (2) has 42 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 13th movement (twin upset punch),the 23rd
movement (left knifehand low block), and the 33rd movement (right knifehand low block).

“The sun is setting. The first phase of growth has been accomplished.”

been developed, but lacks control; therefore, physical and mental discipline must now be achieved.

DAILY DOZEN
The following stretching exercises are supplements to the Taekwondo workout. Stretching
should not be done with cold muscles, so do something before beginning to warm up. A warm
bath, sauna, or light exercises are fine. Also, when doing stretches, reach and extend--do not
bounce. Because muscles need oxygen to stretch, remember to breathe normally while in the
extended position.
1.
2.
We'll start by stretching the groin and legs without stressing the
knees. Slowly reach for your foot, with your face down toward the
knee. Maintain the extended stretch position for thirty seconds;
relax for ten seconds; extend again. Repeat three times on each
side. (Remember to breathe normally and don't bounce!)
Sit on the floor, feet together; reach for your feet, face toward
knees. Maintain extended stretch position for thirty seconds.
Repeat three times. Remember to breathe normally. (As you
exhale,
try
to
extend
a
bit
more.)
3.
4.
Sit on the floor with your knees up; place your hands on
the
floor,
fingers
pointing back. Lift to "table-top." Keep your torso level...no
sagging! Relax your head, letting it drop. Hold position for
thirty seconds; lower to floor and relax for ten seconds. Lift
again.
Repeat
three
times.
5.
6.
With your feet extended to a stretch but comfortable
position, reach out in front, trying to put chest on the floor.
Don't bounce, and breathe normally as you hold for thirty
seconds; relax for ten seconds. Repeat three times. Don't be
concerned if your "splits" aren't wide. You will gradually
improve.
Place your foot flat on the floor, next to your knee. Place your
bracing hand close to your body, and keep your back very straight.
As you twist, keep both buttocks flat on the floor. Maintain twist for
thirty seconds; relax for ten seconds. Repeat three times on each
side.
Place your hands under your shoulders and lift, arching
your back while keeping your hip bones flat on the floor.
Maintain stretch for thirty seconds; relax for ten seconds.
Repeat
three
times.
7.
8.
Reaching behind you, grasp your ankles, and arch your back.
Lift your ankles higher to improve stretch. Maintain position
for thirty seconds; relax for ten seconds. Repeat three times.
Lie flat on your back, extend arms straight out, palms
down. Raise both legs together until they are straight up.
Lower legs to left side while turning face to the right. (Do
not let legs rest on the floor.) Raise legs to straight up
position again. Lower legs to right side while turning face
to the left. Raise legs to straight up position again. Lower
legs to right side while turning face to the left. Raise legs
to straight up position again. Lower legs to right side
while turning face to the left. Raise legs to straight up position again. Lower legs slowly
to the floor. Repeat three times.
Lie flat on the floor with legs together. Raise legs
together until toes touch floor behind head. (Don't be
concerned if you cannot touch the floor with your toes.
Maintain control at first by bracing your back with your
hands, and you will improve.) Maintain position thirty
seconds. Lower legs slowly. Relax for ten seconds; repeat
three times. Remember to breathe normally.
9.
10.
Lie on floor with knees up. Hands are placed next to your head,
palms down, fingers pointing toward your shoulders. Arch back
and lift. Hold lift for thirty seconds; slowly lower to floor. Relax
ten seconds and lift again. Repeat three times.
11.
12.
Support heel on a table top or bar (or have a partner hold your
heel). Bend the standing (back) leg with toes turned outward.
Reach for foot, stretching face slowly toward the knee. Maintain
stretched position for thirty seconds; relax for ten seconds.
Repeat
three
times
on
each
side.
Support side of foot. Pivot standing foot with toes pointed out.
