Which attitude addresses overcoming idleness?

• A. Cleanliness is required after training. Keep yourself and your surroundings clean
• B. Repeatedly practice all techniques already learned
• C. When you begin to feel idle, try to overcome this
• D. Three Purposes of Tang Soo Do

Answer: (C)

The attitude being tested is a proactive, self-disciplined readiness to push through a lull in effort. It means not waiting for motivation to return on its own, but recognizing when you’re feeling idle and taking immediate steps to overcome it. In Tang Soo Do practice this translates to actively choosing to train, review techniques, or drill beyond the moment of doubt or fatigue, keeping progress continuous rather than letting stagnation creep in.

That’s why the option about addressing idleness when you feel it is the best fit. It directly names the moment and the action to take. The other ideas, while valuable for discipline or purpose, don’t focus on the specific attitude of confronting and overcoming a conscious feeling of idleness in the moment.
