Journey to Become Master Beusse

Recently a friend asked me what I felt the benefits of Tae Kwon Do training are for me and what I feel my purpose is now that I’ve joined the SUSA program, so I will try to explain.

Personally, the greatest benefit has been time spent with my family, especially my son David. When he was 5 years old he expressed interest in joining Yoo’s Martial Arts but he was too young for the children’s class. However, he could attend family classes if he were with a sibling or a parent! So he and I decided to do it together and we signed up immediately. David and I trained for 9 years together through every belt rank all the way to 3rd degree black belt. We had a great journey together that we’ll always remember.

Meaning of Jeol(=bow)

‘Jeol’ is a expression of both ‘저:Jeo(My)’ and ‘얼:Eol(Spirit)’.
A ‘Jeol’, which is expressed from a healthy body and a bright mind, is not only beautiful and noble, but also delivers a communication with mother nature.
Depend on mental states of person, ‘Jeol’ can be expressed whether beautifully or perversely.
When a person ‘Jeol’ on one’s opposite, it is a gesture of respect for human beings.
On the other hand, if a person ‘Jeol’ in front of nobody, this person expresses his or her gratitude to the other human being or mother nature through spiritual connection.
Accordingly, we can persue harmony with the others and mother nature through proper ‘Jeol’ that makes energy filled with respect and gratitude.

Mr. Miller no longer needs medication for blood pressure.

Tae Kwon Do is a traditional Korean martial art that emphasizes kicks, flexibility and full contact sparring. Generally this is thought of as an art for the young. Between the Olympics and YouTube showcasing younger adults demonstrating amazing skills, starting as an older adult can be intimidating for some.

The Ranking Depicted By Taekwondo Belts

Tae Kwon Do Belts

Set of Tae Kwon Do Belts isolated on white


Colored belts are used to denote student progress in his or her training toward the black belt. Each color of the belt is used to denote the skill set that the student has acquired. Taekwondo curriculum is not fixed, students grades and their performance is determined by the school. For instance in Songahm Taekwondo belts are used as a way to denote one’s level. Each belt achieved is always truly treated with respect since earning it means you worthy of the accomplishment.
