Tae Kwon-Do Oath

As a student of Tae Kwon-Do, I do solemnly pledge to abide by the rules and regulations of the Tae Kwon-Do Association, to strive always to be modest, courteous and respectful to all members, in particular my seniors, to put the art into use only for self defence or defence of the weak and never to abuse my knowledge of the art.

Tenets of Tae Kwon-Do

COURTESY:

To be polite to one’s instructors, seniors and fellow students.

INTEGRITY:

To be honest with oneself. One must be able to define right and wrong.

PERSEVERANCE:

To achieve a goal, whether it is a higher grade or any technique, one must not stop trying; one must persevere.

SELF CONTROL:

To lose one’s temper when performing techniques against an opponent can be very dangerous and shows lack of control. To be able to live, work and train within one’s capability shows good self control.

INDOMITABLE SPIRIT:

To show courage when you and your principles are pitted against overwhelming odds.
