Greetings

I need some help. The exact chinese characters for Soo Bahk Do. How are the written and in what order should they appear? Anyone have some online reference? I have a gift in mind for my instructor, and looking the patch, it seems like it says "soo moo bahk" across the crest - Moo being in the center circle. At least I think it is.

Forgive the lack of email and name, someone may be watching and well, that would just spoil the surprise.

Much thanks!

The Moo Duk Kwan patch has always had a character for 'Moo' in the center to represent the Moo Duk Kwan. IN the old days...the two charactes left and right were 'Tang' and 'Soo'. Today...it has 'Soo' and 'Bahk'. I'm surprised your instructor hasn't explained the patch symbolism to you?

Yes it has been explained in the past, but since my need is more immediate than when I will be in class next (because of the holiday)is the reason for my question.

I made an error in the past regarding the proper characters... Just erring on the side of caution.

Thank you for your response!

you can find the characters for "soo bahk do" in that order on tenedorio sa bom nim's website, http://www.sbdki.com/
they are the three characters down the left hand side of his studio's logo (soo bahk do karate institute, with the fist in the middle). fyi, the characters down the right hand side say "moo duk kwan".

you are correct about the characters used in the moo duk kwan logo.

yours in soo bahk do,
