HYUNG | Notion

Hyung training is both a mental and physical discipline.
Concentration is essential.
Every attempt at a Hyung requires and should involve maximum effort.
Perfection requires continuous practice.
In performing a Hyung you are perpetuating the art and representing the way of Soo Bahk Do.
In learning a new Hyung:
- Learn the origin and characteristics, and then memorize the sequence.
- Study the application and cultivate an awareness of your body posture and external situation.
- Concentrate on breathing control, tension, relaxation, power, and intent.
- Take on the mental significance and Soo Bahk Do meaning of the Hyung.
Never attempt a Hyung without the advice and consent of your instructor.
Patience is as important as physical ability in developing a perfect Hyung.
Develop your own psychological technique for overcoming idleness, inertia, distractions, and mental blocks.
After practice, learn to relax and appreciate the gains you have made, no matter how small.
