What does the practitioner represent on the association flag?

The practitioner represents the mastery of Tang Soo Do on the association flag. This symbolizes the culmination of skills, techniques, and knowledge that a practitioner acquires through diligent training and dedication. The mastery reflects not just technical abilities but also a deep understanding of the philosophy and values inherent in Tang Soo Do. This includes respect, perseverance, and the application of martial arts principles both inside and outside the dojo. The flag serves as a visual representation of the practitioner's journey and achievements in martial arts, highlighting their role in promoting the art form and contributing to the Tang Soo Do community.

While dedication to training, the spirit of competition, and focus on discipline are all crucial aspects of martial arts practice and development, they do not encapsulate the overall representation attributed to the practitioner on the flag. The focus is ultimately on mastery, which encompasses a holistic view of a practitioner's journey and achievements in Tang Soo Do.
