Soo Bahk DO!

History A Korean traditional martial art whose history dates back many centuries, Soo Bahk Do was founded by Hwang Kee and is continued today by his son H.C. Hwang.	Soo Bahk Do Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do is certified by the U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation with certified instructors to bring you the highest quality instruction. Joining the Federation offers each student membership in the worldwide Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan.	William J. Sharp It is with great sadness that the Soo Bahk Do community & the Spotsylvania SBD family shares the passing of William Sharp, Sam Dan. Mr. Sharp, a Soo Bahk Do practitioner for decades, was a student & instructor at Spotsylvania Do Jang. He believed martial artists should also be scholars & practice Moo Do values inside & outside the Do Jang. “This is critical in order to be our best selves”. Soo Bahk Do’s 10th article of faith, ‘always finish what you start,’ held special meaning to him.
Confidence Children value themselves to the extent they have been valued. At Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do, we seek to instill value and self- confidence in our students. Confidence allows them to be leaders, less likely during their developmental years to be led astray by negative peer pressure. We create a positive circle of friends and role models to encourage our students in making good decisions and positive steps in their lives.	Ten Articles of Faith 1.Be loyal to your country 2.Be obedient to your parents 3.Be loving between husband and wife 4.Be cooperative between brothers and sisters 5.Be respectful to your elders 6.Be faithful to your teacher 7.Be faithful to your friends 8.Face conflict with justice and honor 9.Never retreat in battle 10.Always finish what you start	Technique At Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do, we emphasize continual improvement of technique within our values to strengthen our identity as well.
Philosophy Soo Bahk Do is a philosophy based martial art that teaches defense and doing the right thing. Our philosophy guides our intent toward the good. To practice martial arts without such a philosophy is creating more dangerous people in the world. Our philosophy is to create mature persons free from inner conflict who deal with the world in an intelligent, forthright, and virtuous manner.	Discipline & Respect Soo Bahk Do begins with the discipline of self and respect for all people. Discipline and respect are the foundation for all human relations. Discipline and respect combine as a foundation for our action philosophy which is seen in helping and caring for others through kindness and dependability.	Endurance Training in Soo Bahk Do teaches physical, mental, and spiritual endurance. The physical endurance is easy to see, but the development of mental endurance to focus beyond distractions is what allows us to accomplish our goals in life. Spiritual endurance allows us to will ourselves to stick with and work at those things that are worthwhile even when they become difficult. Endurance brings accomplishment and rich, long-lasting relationships.
Fun At Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do, we strive to make classes fun and enjoyable. Smiling faces and a sense of accomplishment are at the heart of our Soo Bahk Do family. We strive to present the Soo Bahk Do curriculum through classes, clinics, and events that allow for fun, enjoyment, and the sense of achievement.	Dedication Soo Bahk Do is an art of lifelong learning. The teachers are still students and developing. It takes dedication to be a good student of the art and more dedication to share the art as a teacher. At Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do, we emphasize that excellent teaching produces excellent teachers.	Affordability At Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do, we love training and understand that training affordability is a factor. We have teamed up with Spotsylvania County Parks and Rec to keep our program affordable and without long term contracts.
