Tenets of TaeKwonDo
- Courtesy
- To promote the spirit of mutual
concessions,
- To be ashamed of one's vice co tempting
that of others,
- To be polite to one and other,
- To encourage the sense of justice,
- To distinguish instructor from student
and senior from junior.
- Integrity
In Taekwondo, integrity means being able to define right from wrong,
and have the conscience, if wrong, to feel guilt.
- Perseverance
There is an old Oriental saying "patience leads to virtue or
merit.'' A serious student must learn not to be impatient; to
continue steadfastly, to persevere.
- Self-control
This tenet is extremely important inside and outside the dojang
whether in free-sparring or in one's personal affairs. A loss of
one's self-control can prove disastrous to both students and their
opponents. An inability to work within one's capability is also lack
of self-control.
- Indomitable Spirit
A serious student will at all times be modest and honest. If
confronted with an injustice, one will deal with the belligerent
without any fear or hesitation at all, with indomitable spirit.
