It can be difficult to find the right studio to join, and not everyone has a friend who can help them decide which studio is best for their needs.

Koryo
Koryo, officially the first black belt form, is now
required of students when they test for black belt.
Koryo, the name of the dynasty (AD 918-1392) born
of the successful wars in which the Hwa Rang of Silla
ultimately unified the three kingdoms into one
nation, is also the derivation of the English word
Korea. Poomse Koryo is a celebration of the courage
and fortitude of the early Korean people, who
defeated the rampaging Mongolian army which
otherwise swept across most of Asia. The line of
direction of Poomse Koryo draws the Korean
character for Sa, meaning scholar and gentleman.

More Jokes!Candy Tips!Halloween is a great holiday... you get to run around at night with friends, dress up in costumes, and get tons of candy! It’s also an important time to practice good self control.
Make sure to check your candy before eating it. Only eat candy still sealed in it’s wrapper, and check that the wrapper has no holes in it
Limit yourself to a few pieces a night instead of a few bags! Ask your parents what an appropriate amount is.
Trade with friends to maximize your candy haul! Trade your favorites for theirs, and everyone will have a Happier Halloween.
