Kept distinct
The art and the hall.
Bushido orders the eight weeks. Tang Soo Do is the art, with five Hwarang codes and seven tenets. Wude is the martial virtue of the Shaolin hall. Learn them side by side. Do not melt them into one slogan.
The weeks
Bushido
These seven order the eight weeks. They are the standard the program practices, not a poster to agree with.
Tang Soo Do
Five codes
The Hwarang codes Tang Soo Do kept. They bind a man to country, parents, friends, a just fight, and the sense not to fight wrongly.
Tang Soo Do
Seven tenets
The tenets of the art: how a man trains his mind so the codes are not only recited.
Shaolin
Wude
Martial virtue. The hall’s character, kept distinct from Bushido: respect, righteousness, courage, wisdom, and honesty.
