An Important Boundary
WTSDA curriculum and lineage are distinct from Master Robinson's own teaching philosophy and pedagogy.
WTSDA curriculum and rank requirements are the association's material. Master Robinson's own teaching philosophy and any teaching additions are separate and clearly labeled as such in the training library.
What Training Looks Like
Forms, technique, and partnership.
Tang Soo Do training includes forms (hyung), basic techniques, one-step sparring, self-defense, and kicking — practiced with focus, correction, and respect. It is demanding and rewarding.
