DEFENSEFREE
The rst Tae Geuk poomse is the Heaven/Universe form. Theassociated trigram represents Yang, or male/positive energy. Theconcept behind the form is that of the universe giving birth to the
cycle of life. The Taekwondoist starts his or her journey as aWhite Belt, and the rst part of the journey - the end of the rstcycle - comes with the attainment of a Black Belt. As the Taoreminds us, with an end comes a new beginning. Just as nightbecomes day, the Taekwondoist begins anew as a Black Belt.Thus does the life cycle of the martial artist reect the cycle of lifeitself.

Mr. Torres startedhis martial arts trainingover 15 years ago whileattending UC Santa Cruz.
At the time, Tae Kwon Do was offered as part of
the Universitys PEprogram by a local TaeKwon Do Master that hadhis own private dojang inthe city. Discoveringthis information, Mr.Torres jumped on theopportunity straightaway! This was thebeginning of new way oflife which opened manyopportunities, such as,training in Aikido, at UCBerkeleys TKD program,and eventually joining
Silva Tae kwon Do over 10 years ago.
When the moment arrived to attend graduateschool at San Jose State University, MasterSilva was the only Master in the area that
was happy and willing to work with Mr.Torres work and school schedule so he could
continue training. Soon after joining SilvaTae Kwon Do, Mr. Torres began assisting andteaching classes as a red belt. The rest is
history, anda future inthe making,
with SilvaMartial Artsas apermanenthome for Mr.Torres.
Mr. Torresholds afourthdegree blackbelt in TaeKwon Do and a brown belt inBrazilian Jiu Jitsu; a martial
art that he trains in three daysa week that focuses on grapplingand ground self-defensetechniques, and which he teachesto SMA advance belts. Mr. Torresenjoys teaching and seeing theprogress that SMA students makeover time and sometimes in frontof his eyes! When Mr. Torres isnot at the studio during hisnormal teaching hours, he istraveling the world on behalf ofthe company he works for andhelped start a few years back.
