lemme help wit the last part. ok what do you call your instructor(spellcheck) in TKD, a sensei,master,instructor or sumtin else?

 

now for the first part. wat is the traditional uniform for TKD i look everywere and they sell the (99% of the time) V-neck as the traditional TKD uniform/gi. the type we use is like the karate gis they sell at these places.

 

p.s. i look online for almost all my stuff so thats were the places are.

Well since I dont know whether or not he is training or not I will just go ahead and answer the question. First off the cross over uniforms AKA karate style are the traditional uniforms of most karate and traditional TKD styles, however, the olympic places now use the V-neck almost exclusively. If your instructor is not too strict then it doesnt really matter which style you wear. As to what you would call your instructor that can vary as well. My instructor teaches american tkd but prefers to be called Sensei...usually I just call him Mr. so-and-so or Sir. The Korean terms are as follows...

 

Kyo Sa Nim = Assistant Instructor

 

Sa Bum Nim = Head Instructor

 

Kwan Jang Nim = Head of a Style or particular styles main school

 

Do Ju Nim = Founder of a Style

 

Hmm, I think those are right...someone correct me if they arent. Hope that answers your question Frakis.

i was gonna ask the other night but i was busy feelin horrable -i had my wisdom teeth removed-i have heard him say ill get back to you on this.

 

thanks he likes to be called by his first name but i was wondering what his title was ok lemme give you an example. "hey joe ya know the other day my Sensei Evan(or Mike) Gardner showed me how to do this really hard kick"....... there thats why i asked. :roll:

 

and i figured that was the nomal gi but the V-neck threw me off. thanks. :D

Well if you want to be real fancy and you are talking about your instructor you would say hey my sa bum nim said to do the block like this...however most people just say instructor.

Ummm.... We call our instructor Sah Bum Nim, except when he's teaching Kubodo (My school offers both), then we just call him "Sir".

Why don't you ask your master/instructor/sensei?

Found Kuk Sool and stopped looking!

Since our head instructor/school owner is a 5th degree black belt we are expected to address him as "Master Smith". The assistant instructors are addressed as "Mister Smith" or "Mrs Smith".
