Taekwondo is a ‘Way’ and not just a form of fighting, we try to grow as individuals and hold to certain values. These we call the tenents of Taekwondo:
Courtesy - to be polite to one’s
instructor, seniors and fellow students Be willing and eager to
help others.
Integrity - to be honest with oneself
and others. One must be able to understand the principles that
distinguish right from wrong. Present a positive image and be a
role model for other students. Promote and be an ambassador for
Taekwondo.
Perseverance - to
achieve a goal, be it a higher grade or a technique, you must not
stop trying, you must persevere. Recognise areas for personal
development.
Self-control – to lose your temper when
performing techniques against an opponent can be very dangerous and
shows lack of control. To be able to live and train within your own
limits shows good self-control.
Indomitable Spirit – to show courage
when you and your principles are pitted against overwhelming odds.
Support your fellow student in their progression even if they
surpass your own grade.
