Selected performances will be showcased on the Soo Bahk Do Institute. There may be a special section for them, they could be grouped into a special subscription collection, or they could be individually marked with a badge indicating them as exemplary performances and mixed in with other technical reference videos. For example, there might be the existing TAC technical reference video of a hyung performance by a TAC member that is the official example of Moo Duk Kwan standards and there might also be the same hyung performance by a Young Warrior which is designated as an official youth technical reference performance exemplifying Moo Duk Kwan standards for younger practitioners.  These matters are still in flux and yet to be determined.
