What does the globe represent on the association flag?

The globe on the association flag represents that Tang Soo Do is practiced worldwide. This symbolism emphasizes the international reach and recognition of the martial art, highlighting that practitioners of all backgrounds and nationalities engage in Tang Soo Do. It signifies a global community united by the principles, techniques, and values of this discipline, promoting a sense of belonging and camaraderie among martial artists regardless of their location.

The other options mentioned, while relevant to the overall context of martial arts, do not encapsulate the primary message communicated by the globe symbol specifically in relation to Tang Soo Do. The flag focuses on the widespread nature of Tang Soo Do rather than the various martial arts styles, the competitive aspect, or the diversity of individual practitioners alone. These other aspects may contribute to the overall martial arts landscape but do not directly relate to the representation of Tang Soo Do's global practice as conveyed by the globe on the flag.
