FOUR DIRECTION THRUST (Saju Tulgi)
Taekwon-Do is a practical art; hence it can be learnt only from an instructor. Words, diagrams, and videos can serve as a reference, but they cannot replace an instructor. Expert practical guidance from an instructor is invaluable.
“Certainly the most important asset any training hall can have is a good instructor. There is no substitute for a well-trained, intelligent, perceptive and patient instructor.” – Gen. Choi Hong Hi (Vol.6, p.17).
