Congratulations on Your New Rank!
As a new Yellow Belt, Level 2, you have taken the next step on the ladder to success! Yellow Belt, Level 2 is an extension
of Yellow Belt, Level 1; therefore doesn’t carry a traditional meaning. As you begin to learn new material, remember to
practice old material as well as new. Everything you are learning will form the foundation for your advanced training in
Taekwon-Do.
In Taekwon-Do, character development (attitude), fortitude, tenacity, and technique are graded as well as individual
physical capacity. The traditional promotional scale is divided into nineteen ranks – 10 grades (Gups) and nine degrees
(Dans). The former begins with 10th grade (Gup) the lowest and ends at first grade. Degrees begin with the first degree
(Dan) and end with the ultimate, ninth degree. The traditional rank scale is represented by five color belts with tips to
black belt. Our Taekwon-Do Family uses the expanded system of ten color belts to black belt, with a different belt
replacing the traditional belts with tips.

KiHap (Yell)
In Taekwondo we kihap, which is a type of yell or shout. Kihap is the Korean translation of the Karate’s kiai. This shout
does two things. First, the expelling of air through the mouth in a strong, vibrant manner gives focus to the movement
or technique by making it stronger. This happens because the abdominal muscles contract and discharge extra power.
The kihap also has the effect of psychologically disarming a potential assailant; the tremendous energy generated by the
kihap can shake the assailant’s intention to do harm, for it temporarily disorients him. It can also reach deeply into the
person and make contact in a fundamental way beyond words or visible intentions; the hihap can bring the person back
to his or her senses, back from the depths of fear and hurt to the clear and untainted moment. This can be a very
shocking thing, especially when it occurs suddenly. It is like being doused with cold water when you are asleep. It brings
you out of your dream world into the blazing daylight of reality. This sudden awakening from one’s nightmare into the
moment is the intention of the Art of Taekwondo.
Also, the Kihap (Kiai) simply means energy and union, as Aiki(do). Unifying energy means to bring an end to conflict.
When conflict is absent, then naturally there is harmony, there is a state of unified energy. The lack of harmony or
discord conversely means a state of fragmented energy, a divided state. When one is intending to act out of fear, hurt
and anger, then one is out of harmony with things as they are, for these qualities are born of the mind when there is a
state of conflict. Being free of the disorder of fearful thinking, one is undivided, not isolated from living. When one
kihaps, then one is not only focusing energy for more power or psychologically to disarm an assailant; the kihap has a
much more far-reaching effect – it affects the whole balance of nature. So when you kihap, what are you doing? Where
does this energy generate from in you? If it is out of fear, which just adds more conflict, it is not a kihap but a scream or
shriek. A kihap is a mightier shout, an expression of the union of energy within and without. One’s actions are always in
accordance with nature’s harmony, even in defending oneself. There is no conflict. There is only the appropriate
response to the moment and the great undivided force of energy meeting that response.

Ahn Chang-Ho: The Man Behind Do-San
As one of the beginning patterns, Do-San returns to the basics while leading students forward to new techniques and combinations.
An Chang-Ho, the man for whom Do-San is named, believed strongly in starting with the basics in order to improve and advance.
An Chang-Ho was an intellectual, 22 year old, political refugee who emigrated to the United States in the late 1800’s in order to
learn more about western culture. He ended up profoundly affecting his own and becoming one of the most respected leaders of the
Korean nationalistic, independence movement.
For An, his journey as a leader began in 1899 in San Francisco when he encountered two Korean peddlers fighting in the street and
attracting a crowd. After stopping the fight, An discovered the men were fighting over territory, who had the right to sell ginseng and
where. Appalled at the impression he was afraid they were giving the Americans, An began investigating the living conditions in their
San Francisco neighborhood. He found dirty houses that smelled; bare, dirt yards devoid of beauty; and loud, disruptive behavior.
Many of the people living next to the Koreans were trying to sell their homes.
Wanting to do something to restore pride and unity, An decided to start with the basics: cleaning houses. He postponed his studies
and supported by funds provided by his friends, An offered his cleaning services for free and began washing windows and cleaning
houses. While some people refused his assistance; others accepted his offers and even more joined him in the clean-up effort. Within
a few months, the neighborhood became an area in which people were proud to live. Less fights occurred and the reputation of the
Koreans rose in the eyes of the American public.
Having a job that supports one’s family is important for one’s self-esteem. An’s next step was to form an employment agency. He
helped almost every Korean in San Francisco find a job.
Leaving his wife and two sons in San Francisco, An returned to Korea in 1907 at the height of Japan’s and Hirobumi Ito’s (the
Japanese governor-general of Korea) behind the scenes, political scheming to take-over Korea. An helped form schools and secret
societies which furthered the spirit of Korean nationalism.
In 1910, just before Korea was annexed by Japan, An escaped back to the United States. Because of his deteriorating health, he
couldn’t hold a construction job to support his family, but found a job as a janitor in a hotel. His work was exemplary and resulted in
more jobs for Koreans at the hotel after he quit to lead the nationalistic movement of the Korean immigrant community.
In 1919, after the March First uprising in Korea, An went to Shanghai as part of the Korean provisional government. He served as
acting prime minister until Syngman Rhee came to take over.
In 1922, after watching the many ways the Japanese systematically annihilated the Korean culture: the outlawing of Korean schools,
topknots, and use of the Korean language; as well as the destruction of any records referring to Korea’s history, An actively became
involved in saving materials that mentioned Korea’s history. He believed Koreans should be educated about their culture, their
history; that all of the records shouldn’t be destroyed.
In 1935, the Japanese arrested An in Shanghai and jailed him for anti-Japanese activities. Because of An’s poor health, the Japanese
released him before the end of his four-year sentence. An died in 1938.
An, the man behind the pattern Do-San, knew the importance of basics, of building a firm foundation, of getting involved. He
improved the lives of many and won the love and respect of his fellow countrymen in the process.
