Which term means 'begin'?

• A. Shi Jak
• B. Choon Bee
• C. Ba Ro
• D. Kwan Chang Nim E Kyung Yet

Answer: (A)

Shi Jak is the starting cue that means begin. In WTSDA terminology, this Korean phrase literally signals the moment to start a form, drill, or sequence, so students initiate their movements together as soon as it’s spoken. The other terms refer to different actions: Choon Bee means the ready position you take before starting, Ba Ro is a command to move back or retreat, and Kwan Chang Nim E Kyung Yet is a bow to the master—an act of respect rather than a start cue. So Shi Jak is the word that denotes the beginning.
