Some learning starts with forgetting, and here we have some examples...
FIST
The Fist is a composition; a tool which you must learn to construct before you use it. Below is a tutorial on the construction of the fist.
...and here is a quick demonstration on how we use the fist.
Tae, the foot, Kwon, the fist, are mere appendages until properly composed into the striking tools and delivered with the full import of the entire body. As the Spirit is trained it, too, will become an aspect of generating power.
Training the Spirit begins with the realization the simple cotton before you has much deeper significance than typically granted any material garment.
The Dobok--the TKD Uniform-- is white when we start learning the art, like the belt. The material is stiff, and it will have the original creases from the packaging. Over time the dobok becomes more and and more pliable as it shapes to the individual's bodily dimensions.
Learning to care for the Dobok, teaches the student to revere the simplest things because of their value to the mind, body, and spirit. The Dobok, the simplest white cotton, transforms as it is "inhabited" by the student, and takes on a spiritual dimension.
The Dobok is not worn to and from the Dojang--the TKD training hall--because the mental aspects of training kick in as we dress to train. The mind is released from the perfunctory sphere. Every articulation must be composed along the path to perfection. No motion is wasted. No activity is simply on the physical dimension.
The mind and the body begin to synchronize in the practice of the art, and taking care of the dobok is a prime example.
