TENETS OF TAEKWON-DO and STUDENTS OATH

The Student’s Oath and the Tenets of Taekwon-Do are repeated at the beginning of every class.

The Tenets of Taekwon-Do are the fundamental values or core beliefs that guide our choices, our thoughts and our actions:

      1)Courtesy

      2)Integrity

      3)Perseverance

      4)Self-Control

      5)Indomitable Spirit

The Student’s Oath is our promise for how we will behave.  The first 3 phrases are our promise and our responsibility to ourselves and the people we train with in Taekwon-Do.

The last 2 phrases describe the philosophy of the International Taekwon-Do Federation as an organization and as individual students.  It is our promise to society and the world.  All of these should guide our choices, our actions and our thoughts:

1)      I shall observe the tenets of Taekwon-Do

2)      I shall respect the instructors and seniors

3)      I shall never misuse Taekwon-Do

4)      I shall be a champion of freedom and justice

5)      I shall build a more peaceful world
