2. Why do we stand at attention?

Standing at attention shows many things. In class, we stand at attention to show we are ready to listen and ready to learn. Attention stance shows that we are listening with our entire body and presence. Standing at attention can also be used to show respect for instructors, peers, and competitors. When we give our full attention to someone, we show that we are committed and dedicated to interacting with them.

2. Why do we kihap (yell)?

Kihap literally translates as “spirit breath.” Our kihap serves a number of purposes. First and most practically, the kihap forces one to exhale with powerful techniques. When executed from the abdomen properly, this also has the side effect of tightening core muscles. Second, the kihap gives us an audible way to focus our internal strength and intention. Finally, the kihap provides an external way to convey that intention to opponents.

Because of the above reasons, proper timing of the kihap when used with a striking technique is important. Students must be sure to kihap a split second before impact. Early and late kihap can reduce or indicate a loss of focus and power in a technique.
