Which statement correctly lists the three purposes of Tang Soo Do?

• A. Loyalty to country
• B. Obedience to parents
• C. Repeatedly practice all techniques already learned
• D. Self Defense, Health, Better Person

Answer: (D)

Tang Soo Do aims are self-defense, health, and becoming a better person. Training combines practical skills to protect yourself and others with fitness improvements for overall health, and a strong emphasis on character—discipline, respect, humility, and self-control—developed through consistent practice and dojo etiquette. The other options don’t capture these three aims: loyalty to country and obedience to parents are values from culture or family, not the martial art’s stated threefold purpose, and simply repeatedly practicing techniques describes ongoing training rather than a defined purpose.
