Several things define the Choong Sil Kwan Do style of Taekwondo and one of the most important are the Twelve Concepts of Power. These concepts, once fully understood, give the student the ability to evaluate technique. Concepts courses are offered at Black Belt camps and as special seminars held in schools, however, many of the things our instructors frequently mention are rooted in these same concepts like-matched timing, hip rotation, reaction force, focus, etc.

    The goal of Choong Sil Kwan Do Taekwondo is to deliver a technique with the maximum amount of power using the least amount of effort. The components of our techniques are designed to add either mass or speed to our technique based upon these concepts. If a motion in our technique fails to add power, then it is wasted motion and should be eliminated from our technique. The basis of this is rooted in the scientific formula for the production of Kinetic Energy (the energy of motion):

Amount of Power Produced is equal to ½ mass x velocity squared. 

                     The Twelve Concepts are:

                                   1. Stance                                   7. Breath Control 

                                   2. Hip Rotation                          8. Range of Motion/ Strength Apex

                                   3. Reaction Force                      9. Relative Muscular Strength

                                   4. Focus                                   10. Attitude

                                   5. Timing                                   11.Accuracy 

                                   6. Geometric Design                  12. Automatic Reflex
