Taekwondo students should
attempt to be polite to one
another and to respect others.
Students should address
instructors as Sir and to bow to
the instructors before and after
classes. Turning up early or on
time for classes is also an
aspect of courtesy.

One who has integrity is able
to define what is right or wrong
and have the conscience, if
wrong, to feel guilt. Taekwondo
students should strive to be
honest and to live by moral
principles.

Perseverance means having
patience. One of the most
important secrets of becoming
a leader in Taekwondo is to
overcome every difficulty by
perseverance.

Without self-control, a
Taekwondo student is just like
any fighter in the street. Loss
of self-control is disastrous
both in sparring and personal
affairs.

difficult goals can be achieved
with indomitable spirit.
