Tenets of Kyuki-Do

Students of Kyuki-Do are expected to understand and abide by the following six tenets:
#Courtesy: Treating people with the respect that they deserve.
#Humility: Recognizing that no matter how great your accomplishments are, they do not make you a better person than anyone else.
#Integrity: Knowing the difference between right and wrong, and choosing to do what is right.
#Perseverance: Continuing even in the face of adversity.
#Self-Control: Exercising restraint over yourself, and being in command of your thoughts, feelings and actions.
#Indomitable Spirit: The spark that gives you the power to persevere.

Theory of Power

Kyuki-Do teaches that the development of powerful technique is derived from the application of the following five principles:
#Concentration: Delivering impact to the smallest target area, thereby concentrating the force and maximizing the effect, while focusing all of one's energy at the point of impact using Kihap (yell).
#Reaction Force: Using reciprocal action during the execution of a technique to assist in maintaining balance and increasing force.
#Equilibrium: Maintaining proper stability during the execution of techniques.
#Breath Control: Exhaling at the point of impact to tighten muscles, flatten the stomach, and increase the speed of delivery.
#Speed and Mass: Increasing the application of force by either accelerating the speed of the technique or by putting more body behind the delivery of the technique.
