COLOR BELT PHILOSOPHY:

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.

 

FORM - Individual action

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.

Segments break down: 3 - 4 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 5 - 4 - 3

 

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).

 

ONE-STEP SPARRING - Transition utility

Distance is one of the 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 evade to right, #2 evade backward, #3 evade to left.

 

FREE SPARRING - Relative action

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, Cup and Support (males), and Mouthpiece.

 

From SENIOR MASTER RICHARD R. REED

Senior Vice-President, 7th Degree Black Belt

 

"Congratulations on reaching your Camo belt at your last testing. Your perseverance has paid off. The hard work and confusion that goes with starting anything new is over. However, you should keep in mind that perseverance must be your dominating thought from now on, and in everything you do. You must decide in advance to never give up, to never quit in anything you start... Never, Never, Quit."

 

Sincerely,

Richard Reed
