Congratulations!
‘Perseverance’ is a very important word to me. Even more
important is how we demonstrate it.
It can be used in your Taekwondo training when your Instructor
introduces a new technique. Through my years of Taekwondo,
I’ve had my leaders show me something new and I thought, “I’ll
never be able to do it.” I look back and can remember many
times when I thought this. A lot of times it was a technique or
new move that I thought I wouldn’t be able to perfect, but with
hard work and perseverance, I perfected it and could then move
on to a new level in my training. If it’s worth doing, do it right, by
showing perseverance.
Use perseverance in the values your parents and other
respected people in your life taught you. Perseverance is
necessary throughout your life as you strive to be the best person you can be. Whether it’s being a
valuable friend, teacher, co-worker or student, we need to remember our values and persevere to set
a good example for others to follow.
I’d like to encourage you to have fun, laugh often, train hard and always look ahead – not back. Be a
positive person and never give up!

August Life Skill
Teaching Perseverance
What makes some people winners time after time, while others seem to fall short just as
often, or at best ‘get lucky’ once in awhile? In the recipe for success, a properly set goal
is one key ingredient; the other is perseverance – steadfast pursuit of the goal and stubborn
refusal to accept defeat. It’s a trait that springs directly from Attitude (Spirit). Perseverance
is about self-confidence, self-respect and self-control. It’s about loyalty, integrity and honor. Without
perseverance, setting goals is a waste of time. With it, the sky’s the limit. And like the other Black
Belt Attributes, this truly priceless skill can be developed in our students, and in ourselves, through
continual study and practice.
It is important to understand the difference between “being determined to win” no matter what
and “staying the course” no matter what. It is not always but sometimes necessary to change the
course, to find an alternate route on our road map to victory. Very simply: some obstacles we go
over, some obstacles we go around! Perseverance means sticking to the goal, not necessarily to
the original plan. In fact, it is prudent, wise, useful and sometimes it is critical to have or make a
“Plan B.” Circumstances change, and as they do, we must adapt to persevere and reach our goals.
Perseverance is tried by the frustration of our mistakes. No one likes to err, of course, but mistakes
are also opportunities. As such, it is wasteful indeed not to learn from them, and this too is an
aspect of perseverance: accepting setbacks and resolving not to repeat them. Perseverance is
tested as well by the shame and humiliation mistakes naturally cause us to feel. Here again: accepting
setbacks, forgiving yourself, learning from the experience, and getting back in the saddle are at
the core of this uniquely valuable life skill. Many mistakes can be avoided with knowledge proffered
by books, tapes, videos and of course, our Instructors. However, the hard-learned lessons of our
personal experiences are often the most memorable, particularly as we persevere and succeed, not
despite, but because of them.
What We Mean By “Perseverance”
Young Adult / Adult (Ages 14 - 99 / Grades 8 - 12)
Perseverance is being determined to win no
matter what.
Karate for Kids (Ages 7 - 13 / Grades 1 - 7)
Perseverance means never giving up, even
when you fail. It means being determined to
win no matter what.
Tiny Tigers (Ages 3 - 6 / Grades pre-K - K)
Perseverance means never giving up.
I have not
failed. I’ve
just found
10,000 ways
that won’t
work.
Thomas Edison
August Instructor Trainee Manual 1

For the next few classes we’re going
to focus on Perseverance. Who can
tell me what that means? ____
• Ages 3-6: Perseverance means
never giving up.
- OR -
• Ages 7-13: Perseverance means
never giving up, even when you fail.
It means being determined to win no
matter what.
- OR -
• Ages 14+: Perseverance means
being determined to win no matter
what.
We have to dedicate ourselves to
reaching our goals, don’t we, parents?
There are just two key ingredients in
the recipe for success. The first is a
properly set goal, an S-M-A-R-T goal.
Do you remember what a ‘smart’ goal
is, parents? Specific, Motivating,
Achievable, Relevant and Trackable.
The second key ingredient in the
recipe for success is perseverance.
Personal victory depends entirely on
you “making up your mind” to win.
Winners never quit and quitters never
win, isn’t that right? Of course!
The will to win comes from inside us,
doesn’t it? It’s about self-confidence
and loyalty to ourselves and our goals.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way,
right parents?
Everyone who has ever achieved
anything, including each of you, owes
their success to perseverance.
We wouldn’t get far without it, right?
Sample Rapport Building Script
Teaching “Perseverance”
Just as the will to win comes from
inside, so does the temptation to quit.
We get discouraged, start having
doubts, and that’s when our “self talk”
turns negative.
That’s why perseverance is all about
keeping a Black Belt Attitude, right
parents?
New York Yankees legend Babe Ruth,
the Sultan of Swat, hit 714 home runs
in his career.
Know how many times he struck out?
More than 1,300 times!
Walking back to the dugout without
even a base hit is discouraging, isn’t
it? But he didn’t get to be the Home
Run King by giving up!
He kept a positive attitude and
stepped up to the plate again and
again.
Winston Churchill, the man who
helped lead the Allies to victory in
World War II, said “Never, never,
NEVER give up!”
Success stops when you do, right?
Mistakes feed our self-doubt and
negative self-talk, don’t they? It’s
embarrassing to mess up. And it’s
natural to feel humiliated.
But we have to forgive ourselves for
making mistakes and move on, don’t
we, parents?
A really big part of perseverance is
letting go of the humiliation and
choosing to learn from our mistakes.
We resolve not to make the same
mistake again, don’t we? And then we
get back in the saddle and try again!
Albert Einstein said “I think and think
for months and years. Ninety-nine
times the conclusion is false. The
hundredth time I am right!”
Instead of giving up like most other
scientists, he stepped back and
looked at the problem differently.
Famous inventor Thomas Edison
said “I have not failed. I’ve just found
10,000 ways that won’t work!”
Text Key:
For Students
For Parents
He used his mistakes as stepping
stones. He learned to approach
problems from different angles until he
found success!
Louis Pasteur said “Let me tell you the
secret that has led me to my goal. My
strength lies in my tenacity.”
Everyone who has overcome a critical
illness in their lives has shown miraculous
tenacity. Do you know of anyone
like that? ___ Awesome!
Fortunately, the recipe for success is
not a secret. Perseverance requires
courage and patience, doesn’t it?
That’s also why it’s important for our
goals to be S-M-A-R-T smart, and
especially Motivating and Relevant.
Perseverance means being determined
to win no matter what, but it
does not mean “staying the course” no
matter what.
Those quotes from Einstein, Edison
and Pasteur show that, don’t they?
When they hit a wall they changed
direction but not their goals.
When we first set our smart goals, we
make a plan or roadmap for reaching
them. But as we’re working toward
our goals, it’s sometimes necessary to
change course to go around something
we can’t go over.
It’s wise, prudent and totally fine to
have a “Plan B,” isn’t it, parents?
In the oath we recite at the end of
class, we all vow to “live with perseverance
in the Spirit of Taekwondo.”
Why do you think perseverance is
an important value in the Songahm
tradition?
President Lincoln said “A goal properly
set is halfway met.”
Perseverance is the other half!
Let’s find the inner strength of our
Black Belt Attitudes to “live with
perseverance” and promise to reach
all our goals all the time! Yes we can!

Talking Points
Ages 3-6: Perseverance means never giving up.
Ages 7-13: Perseverance means never giving up, even when you fail. It means
being determined to win no matter what.
Ages 14+: Perseverance means being determined to win no matter what.
Our goal for class today is to have a great workout and learn to improve our skills.
With perseverance we will reach that goal and more!
Properly set goals is half of success. Perseverance is the other half!
Failure is often the line of least persistence.
A famous football coach* once said “You’re never a loser until you quit trying.”
I can see that everyone in this class is a winner! (*Mike Ditka)
Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee said “Train hard – with patience! The best
techniques are achieved one punch, one block and one kick at a time.”
An ancient Japanese proverb says “Fall seven times, stand up eight.” Success
doesn’t come from not falling, it comes from getting back up.
Courage plus patience equals perseverance.
Scientific genius Albert Einstein said “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay
with problems longer.”
Success stops when you do.
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again! Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee said
“Today impossible, tomorrow possible!”
Where there’s a will there’s a way!
A famous author* said “Strength is a matter of the made up mind.” Let’s make up
our minds to get strong and stay healthy! (*John Beecher)
Abraham Lincoln once said “A goal properly set is halfway met.” He lost seven
elections before becoming one of our greatest presidents. Perseverance, it seems,
is the other half!

August Teaching Skill
Teaching the Instructor Points
Instructor Points represent the first of three lessons in the Instructor Trainee Program to deal
with managing students in the classroom. The 10 points of this lesson offer specific procedures
for effective teaching, time management and class layout. As you study the Instructor Points,
observe how your supervising Instructor or School Owner uses them in her classes to motivate
students and guide them steadily toward their goals – and her goals for them.
Instructor Point #1
Floor Plan
A Floor Plan is a way to structure activities within
the classroom. The objective is to use the entire
classroom to keep students enthusiastic about
what they are doing. If an exercise begins by
going from left to right in the classroom, the next
exercise should go from the front to the rear of
the room. Creating a Floor Plan will also depend
on the shape of the
classroom. The
best use of
the space depends
upon the activities planned and
the number of students in the
class. By moving activities
around the room, students
will be more interested in
what they are learning. Be
sure to move the students
in all four directions in
the room as well as
have them sit, stand,
kneel and lie on the
floor.
Instructor Point #2
Set Point
The Set Point is the position where a technique
(or series of techniques) originates, and the
position to where one returns following execution
of the technique (or series of techniques).
When an Instructor gives his students the “set”
command, they are to return to their starting
positions.
Instructor Point #3
Black Belt-A-Minute /
Instructor-A-Minute
Black Belt-A-Minute, Instructor-A-Minute and
Master-A-Minute remind students what their
goals are and the standard of behavior. As
students are performing various class activities,
about once each minute, the Instructor recognizes
students individually for displaying a trait or
behavior typical of the higher rank. Such proclamations
encourage students to do their best and
also keep the attributes fresh in their minds. e.g.
“With focus like that you are sure to make Black
Belt!” “That was the kick of a future Instructor!”
“You have a Master’s attitude!” “You are all
Black Belts, you just haven’t been tested yet!”
Instructor Point #4
Zero Down Time
Zero Down Time means wasting no time during
a class. This is done by carefully planning the
class ahead of time. The Instructor determines
what age and rank of students will be in
the class and selects challenging kicks,
stretches and drills to fit their skill levels.
Classes will be exciting when students
are kept moving and not talking alot.
6 Instructor Trainee Manual August

Instructor Point #5
Pace & Peak Coaching
The Pace & Peak Coaching of a class is its
rhythm. It is important to coach students to keep
them excited about activities they are doing
and to prevent them from becoming too tired to
perform well. The Instructor plans activities to
be calm at some points and intense at others.
This intentional pacing helps students have the
stamina to enjoy their classes.
Instructor Point #6
Verbalize Expectations
It is obviously important to be clear about when
students must be present and ready for class
to start. Just as important is the
need to be clear about what is
expected of students once class
begins. The Instructor verbalizes
his expectations for precisely how
he wants each drill performed. If
the directions are unclear, students
might not do well and can lose their focus. By
verbalizing clear expectations, students are able
to measure their successes one drill at a time,
and the Instructor can determine whether more
practice is needed or it’s time to move on.
Instructor Point #7
Praise-Correct-Praise
As students perform basics, drills, forms and
other classroom activities, the Instructor should
praise each of them individually for the things
they are doing well. It’s also the ideal time to
point out things they might be having trouble
with. When they have practiced the drill and
improved, the Instructor should compliment
them individually again for giving their best
efforts. The Praise-Correct-Praise teaching
technique builds students’ confidence and selfesteem,
and makes students appreciative and
respectful of their Instructor.
Instructor Point #8
Corrective Feedback
Explain to students as they are doing a drill
that the Instructor is watching for things they
do well and things that need
improvement. After they have
completed the drill, the Instructor
should clearly address any problem
areas with suggestions of ways
to improve them, and also commend
the aspects they did well.
Instructor Point #9
Lesson of the Month,
Mental Benefits
As practitioners of the martial arts, we want
students’ behavior in and out of class to be exemplary.
Good values and leadership skills are
central to Songahm Taekwondo philosophy, as
is the tradition of teaching them. Life Skills can
be taught in
class using
very short
lectures,
open dialog,
storytelling,
examples,
visual aids, etc. They can even be taught
throughout class. (Refer to ‘Rapport Building
Scripts’ and ‘Class Planner / Talking Points’ for
examples.) If he observes a positive demonstation
of the Life Skill by a student in class, the
Instructor might choose to point it out and offer
praise. e.g. “John, your form showed awesome
spirit!” or “Susan showed courtesy by helping
put away our equipment after class last week.
Great job, Susan!”
The Praise-Correct-Praise
technique builds students’
confidence and self-esteem.
Instructor Point #10
Awards & Announcements
Awarding students during class is a great way
to build confidence and self-esteem. By publicly
recognizing individual students’ accomplishments,
the Instructor is able to point out the
goals particular students have achieved and to
encourage others to persevere to reach their
own goals. Another way Instructors encourage
them is by presenting awards like certificates,
stars and animal patches. Making announcements
at the end of every class is also an effective,
low-cost way to inform parents and students
of upcoming events, camps and anything
new the school might offer. The availability of
registration forms, calendars, etc. is also useful.
August Instructor Trainee Manual 7

This week we’re going to discuss
the 10 Instructor Points. These are
procedures for effective teaching, time
management and class layout.
Instructor Points will help these future
Instructors manage students in their
classrooms, won’t they, parents?
You have probably already seen or
heard me use these techniques in
class. Some you will recognize but
others you might not have noticed.
The 1st Instructor Point is the Floor
Plan. This means that depending on
the size and shape of the classroom
and the number of students in a class,
we move activities around, face in
different directions, and have students
sit, stand, kneel and so forth.
Why do you suppose we have such a
diverse Floor Plan, parents? It’s just
one way we keep students interested
and enthusiastic during class.
When you’re at school or work, you
get to move around, go into different
rooms and have different views during
the day, don’t you? A good Floor Plan
keeps us from getting bored with just
one perspective all the time.
And it keeps us from relying on the
visual cues of this room to do our
forms correctly, doesn’t it?
The 2nd Instructor Point also deals
with the way students move in the
classroom. It’s called the Set Point.
Basically the set point is the starting
position and the position to where
students return following execution of
a technique.
When I command you to “set,” I’m
telling you to return to your Set Point
or starting position.
Instructor Point #3 is Black Belt-A-
Minute or Instructor-A-Minute. This is
a technique to encourage students to
visualize success and strive for higher
goals, and to praise them for great
work in Taekwondo.
We want all students to aim high and
Rapport Building Script
Teaching “The Instructor Points”
have self-confidence, don’t we?
In Black Belt-A-Minute, the Instructor
points out something great that each
student is doing, about once every
minute. The Instructor says things
like “That was the kick of a future
Black Belt, John!” or “Your attention to
proper technique shows us all you’re
serious about getting your Black Belt!”
Pointing out things that each student
is doing well also keeps those ideals
fresh in the other students’ minds.
The 4th Instructor Point is Zero Down
Time – pretty self-explanatory, right?
We want to keep things moving and
make the best use of our class time,
don’t we, parents?
Zero Down Time keeps order in the
classroom and keeps students
actively participating and interested.
And it shows the Instructor was wellprepared
too.
Instructor Point #5 is Pace & Peak
Coaching. This refers to the rhythm
of the class: sometimes it’s intense,
sometimes it’s relaxed, then it speeds
up again, and so on.
Why do you think we vary the pace of
our coaching, parents? That’s right!
It’s to keep students interested and
enthusiastic about learning.
It’s also to keep their energy levels up
so they have the stamina to do their
best the whole class. Pace and Peak
requires some advance planning, too,
just like Floor Plan, Set Points, and
Zero Down Time.
All this makes for a lively class,
doesn’t it, parents?
Instructor Point #6 is to Verbalize Expectations.
It’s important for students
to know exactly what we want them to
do so they can put 100% into doing it
right. Instructors can do this as class
begins, as an activity begins, anytime
she’s giving students a challenge.
To get it right we need to know what’s
right, don’t we, parents?
Text Key:
For Students
For Parents
We’ve probably all had at least one
experience when we weren’t told what
was expected of us, or not taught to
do it correctly. That’s no fun, is it?
That’s why we Verbalize Expectations.
The 7th Instructor Point is Praise-
Correct-Praise. This is a way of helping
students improve their performances.
The Instructor first points out
some aspect the student is doing very
well. Then he tells him what it appears
the student is having trouble with,
and what he can do to fix it. Then the
Instructor compliments him again for
his improvement or great effort.
Communicating very positively can
correct a problem without lowering the
student’s self-esteem.
Instructor Point #8 is Corrective
Feedback. It’s alot like Praise-Correct-
Praise, except the Instructor tells his
students in advance that he’s going to
watch for the good and bad parts of
their performance of a drill. Afterward
he gives praise and suggestions for
correcting any errors.
This encourages students to do their
best but isn’t threatening in any way.
The 9th Instructor Point is Lesson of
the Month Mental Benefits. This refers
to our teaching of Life Skills. We teach
good values to all students in the
tradition of Songahm Taekwondo.
Those skills are the qualities of true
leaders, aren’t they, parents?
Instructor Point #10 is Awards &
Announcements, usually presented at
the end of class. This is about rewarding
students for their special achievements
as a form of encouragement,
and also for informing parents and
students about upcoming events, new
school offerings, etc.
If they master these Instructor Points,
our future Instructors are sure to lead
many great Taekwondo classes.

August / Black Belt Attributes
Attribute #3: Eye Contact / Focus
Accuracy in the martial arts is a crucial skill to develop. Without it, strikes will not
hit their intended targets, but might land elsewhere – possibly with the wrong contact
area. Without accuracy, striking power can be too much or too little. Without accuracy, the
risk of injury while training to both attacker and defender is significantly elevated. And finally,
accuracy is essential for self-defense techniques to be effective. Because this martial arts skill is so
fundamentally important, eye contact and focus to develop accuracy are continually practiced. The
ability to obtain and maintain focus on your targets is just as important as the control and
command of your weapons (hands, feet, knees, elbows, etc.)
The Black Belt Attribute of Eye Contact / Focus has three aspects that receive special attention in
our training. The first is Directional, keeping eye contact on a target, stationary or mobile, and
performing the appropriate technique to strike it. It also refers to maintaining eye contact with a
target when the body is in motion. The second is Target Training, concentrating your aim on a
precise area or point. This element of accuracy training is usually practiced by reducing the target’s
size, i.e. by first striking a large target then moving to a medium-size target, then to a small target.
The third aspect is Penetration, aiming beyond the target to strike with greater force. It also refers
to retracting the strike on the same path as delivery.
Students learn best when they are allowed to focus on one thing at a time. We may wish them to
know everything, but presenting material all at once is generally not an effective teaching strategy!
Therefore, instructors should divide complex subjects into smaller lessons tied together beneath
“the big picture.”
Demonstration of Eye Contact / Focus can be done in many ways, such as techniques being
performed by the Instructor or the student, comparison, in self-defense, or on a board. Practicing
methods also have many options. Below are some examples.
DIRECTIONAL DRILLS:
• Sandwich (D40042) • Direction Two Count (D40044)
• Speed Punches (D40043) • Sound Response (D40045)
• Four Directions Self-Defense (D40046)
• Height Control Target (D40047)
• Directional Target (D40048) • Blocking/Dodge (D40049)
• Blocking Drill (D40050) • Skeet Kicks (D40051)
TARGET TRAINING DRILLS:
• Paper Folding Drill (D40030) • Heavy Bag with “X” (D40031)
• Repeat Round Kicks (D40033) • Basics (D40035)
• All Out Target Work (D40034) • Strike Surface (D40054)
• Name That Target (D40025) • Wall Target (D40060)
• Repeat Kicks (D40058) • Triple Kicks (D40059)
PENETRATION DRILLS:
• Double Target (D40061) • 1”-4” Pull (D40064)
• Balloon Board Break (D40062)
• Trap Door Boards (D40063)
“Power is not revealed
by striking hard or often,
but by striking true.”
- Honore de Balzac
