O JangTAE GEUK 5 SEON/Wind
This form holds one of the most important concepts for the advancing martial artist. Wind can be a gentle breeze, yet as it grows in intensity it gains power and destructive force until it destroys everything in its path. The true martial artist can harness this paradoxical strength and weakness. The more powerful we become through our Taekwondo training, the more peaceful and calm we should become. This is the essence of the Tao - the Way.

Meet Your Instructors
Ms. Gaby certified 2nd Dan Black Belt.
I joined TKD in 2007. Before my first class I was terrified, and after I was exhausted!! As my ability to participate increased (without feeling like passing out), I fell more and more in love with TKD; and with the discipline, strength, coordination, and general ability to defend myself. I also realized how good it was for my health (minus the bruises) and my self-perception. Not many people my age get to do what I do. I also found the support and care of the TKD family which was a huge unexpected bonus of joining Silva Martial Arts. I really enjoy working with my classmates and watching the progress made.It is veryexciting!"
Gaby now proudly holdsher black belt in TKD as well as a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. She likes to joke: I still cannot catch or throw a dodge ball... but I make great cookies!

June TipIt is very important to test when you are ready, and not rush through your belts. Training hard, and perfecting your basics gives you stronger skills to build on later.Very few people test every time from white to black belt. Most students miss a testing once in awhile, especially at the higher ranks.Try not to focus on testing for belts or stripes. Instead focus on perfecting your skills, and doing your absolute best!
