Martial Arts are constantly evolving with the times and access to new and exciting training methods and technology. Despite this is is also very important to remember our traditional roots while training and moving forward. One aspect of training at Hills District Martial Arts that contributes to our traditional training style is the use of Korean Terminology. All three of our Martial Arts have their roots in Korea. It also helps you as a student to expand your knowledge, and increase your memory.
Below are some of the basic and more advanced terminology that we use during class (and a few extra for anyone who wants some more knowledge!). Note that some words are spelled phonetically (how they sound) for ease of learning!
