This medal (made of real metal) represents the spirit of Sang Mu (상무)—honoring the martial way through discipline, perseverance, and character. The phoenix symbolizes growth through challenge, rising stronger each time it faces adversity rather than being defeated by it. Together with the mantra “Never Quit,” the design reflects the heart of tournament competition: showing up with courage, pushing through fear and fatigue, and choosing effort and integrity even when the outcome is uncertain. Win or lose, those who live Sang Mu rise stronger because they refuse to give up on themselves or their training.
