We always start class with a formal bow-in, and a 8-12 minute warm-up session led by a TGT member. This will include light stretching, strengthening, and/or cardio. On Thursdays, we clean the mats before class so students are expected to arrive early.

The materials covered on a particular day is dependent on the schedule. Typically, on "Form" days, we will work on kicks for style and speed, techniques (1-step sparring), and forms. On "Sparring" days, we may cover self-defense techniques, hand and feet combos on "Thai pads", and sparring including boxing, point-sparring, timed sparring, grappling, and/or some such combination. On "Weapon" days, we will work on forms and possible self-defense applications using the ssang-Jyel bong (nunchukus), chang bong (staff), dan-bong (short stick), sword, knives, and/or guns depending on your level.

Additional activities may include meditation, breathing exercises, falls, rolls, cartwheels, aerial chartwheets, shoulder-springs (kip-ups), head-springs, hand-springs, back somersaults (back flips), valdez (gymnastics move often seen in Caperoilla), etc.

We may end the class with some hard stretching, strengthening, and/or cardio. Then finally a formal bow-out. This includes citing Hwa Rang Do Meng Sae and thanking the instructors in Korean, "Dae Dan Hee Gam Sa Ham Nee Da. An Yong Hee Gae Sheep She Yo", which translates to "Thank you very much, good bye/stay in peace".
