Which phrase is the meaning of 'Choon Bee'?

• A. begin
• B. ready
• C. Salute to flag
• D. Return

Answer: (B)

Choon Bee is the cue that signals you to be ready. In WTSDA classes, it marks the moment to mentally and physically prepare before starting a drill or form. When you hear it, you stop moving, settle into a solid, balanced stance, place your hands in a ready position near the waist, and focus with your eyes forward and steady breathing. This state isn’t the start itself, but the preparation just before beginning, which is why it matches “ready” best. It isn’t the action of saluting the flag, which is a separate bowing gesture, nor a command to begin or to return to a starting position. The idea is simply to get everyone prepared to move.
