Here in America, we're fond of responding "yes sir" to every control of the instructor. Do Korean students respond the aforementioned way in Korean, or do they respond another way? I occasionally train with some TSD friends who use a mixture of Korean & Japanese in grade. When the instructor gives a command, the students but say "aye" in Japanese.
Thanks for your help. Expect a few days, I'chiliad sure I'll have another odd question that I think at two:00 am.:ultracool

The usual answer is "Ne Sa Bum" or "Ne Qwang Jang". Some erstwhile schools even so add together the "Nim" at the end, but only in america.
AFAIK, you lot should e'er add the honorific "-nim", when adressing a higher rank. When travelling with a Korean TKD group, the only moments when they used "sabum" instead of "sabumnim" was adressing a junior, like an 8th Dan speaking to a fifth Dan. The other way around it was always "sabumnim".

This is where I tap those of you who take trained in Korea in a class completely in Korean.Here in America, nosotros're addicted of responding "yes sir" to every command of the instructor. Do Korean students respond the same way in Korean, or practice they reply some other way? I occasionally train with some TSD friends who employ a mixture of Korean & Japanese in class. When the instructor gives a control, the students only say "yes" in Japanese.
Thanks for your assist. Wait a few days, I'm sure I'll accept another odd question that I think at 2:00 am.:ultracool
I take establish in Korea that they will respond either 'Ne' or 'Ne sabumnim/Kwanjangnim' (if Inferior to Senior).
Not to sidetrack the word by why Japanese in TSD classes?

I have found in Korea that they will respond either 'Ne' or 'Ne sabumnim/Kwanjangnim' (if Junior to Senior).Not to sidetrack the discussion by why Japanese in TSD classes?[/quote]
I'm not sure, but I recall it was the mode they were taught. They interchange Japanese & Korean all the fourth dimension. Weird huh?

AFAIK, y'all should always add the honorific "-nim", when adressing a higher rank. When travelling with a Korean TKD group, the only moments when they used "sabum" instead of "sabumnim" was adressing a inferior, like an 8th Dan speaking to a fifth Dan. The other mode around information technology was always "sabumnim".
Take to become with gizmo on this. I have been teaching TKD in korea for about 2 years now and we always use nim even parents just phone call me sabumnim. nim at the stop notes respect and is at the end of near titles.
I affair i will add is almost the 8th dan talking to the fifth dan. If we know each other well the eighth would simply say sabum but if you are just acquaintances or not that familiar with the person they tend to add the nim. But that being said it also depends on the size of their ego. A funny case of the ego is on of my university profs. who doesn't have much of a resume but a university degree and a eighth dan (withal very impressive...merely keep reading) has a huge ego and e'er uses sabum which never bothers me. Just I'1000 sure alot of you have heard of lee kyu hyung (if not google him...amazing martial creative person and person) is another one of my profs. and is ane of the greatest masters in the world if not the best (my opion of class) is the nearly apprehensive man i accept e'er met and always adresses me sabumnim
Promise this helps

But that existence said it also depends on the size of their ego. A funny example of the ego is on of my university profs. who doesn't take much of a resume but a university caste and a 8th dan (still very impressive...but keep reading) has a huge ego and always uses sabum which never bothers me. But I'm certain alot of you have heard of lee kyu hyung (if not google him...astonishing martial artist and person) is another ane of my profs. and is one of the greatest masters in the world if not the best (my opion of course) is the almost humble human being i accept ever met and always adresses me sabumnim
Hope this helps

It does help, thank you.
I had the opportunity to come across GM Lee final summer at the Hanmadang hither in the States. He was very gracious to me likewise. He signed my KKW textbook on the Han soo page.
I've e'er understood the nim honorific. But to my original question... So when the instructor leading the class class tells the grade to line up, or stand upwardly (or whatsoever) the grade responses "Ne Sabumnim!" Is this the norm in a Korean class, or is information technology just done speedily in silence?

I have very limited preparation in a Korean environs / martial art, but I'm assuming it'south because of the Japanese occupation. Koreans now use some Japanese words considering they were forced to for so long. That's just my judge, though.

As for lining upwardly, in the classes that I attended, information technology was only washed silently. But and so in my classes in the US, it was washed that mode also!

You asked for those who had trained in Korea...in my feel, if asked a question, information technology was merely "ne" or "ye" (both meaning yeah). No "sir" or any other term of respect usually. No demand - equally JKS said earlier, the respect is intrinsic in the linguistic communication, the honorifics are included in everything, so there is no need for additional titles. If i was used, it would be sabumnim if annihilation.Equally for lining up, in the classes that I attended, it was just done silently. But then in my classes in the US, it was done that style also!
Nosotros line upwardly silently, no tradtion I just like quiet at the beginning of the class, give them a couple of minutes to settle and think most what they are going to practise.
We've taught the kids to bow continuing and kneeling, I'll show them whatsoever other ways people do it also if anyone has anything different?
