Tenets of Taekwondo

Self-confidence

A person has self-confidence when he believes in his own abilities. It follows, therefore, that a person must first acquire these abilities through constant study, training and practice. True self-confidence is based on true knowledge about one’s self and abilities.

Modesty

A modest person has a humble opinion of one’s self and one’s achievements. A modest person is not flashy or showy. The virtue of humility helps a person control his disordered desire for his own excellence and therefore it helps to create an atmosphere that makes it possible for people to get along together.

Indomitable spirit

A person with indomitable spirit is not easily discouraged or defeated. Having indomitable spirit requires an inner reflection on things to determine whether they are right or wrong and then proceeding to do what is right. Indomitable spirit therefore, is very closely related to the virtue of prudence.

Perseverance

A persevering person takes the steps necessary to achieve the goal he has set for himself, in spite of internal or external difficulties, and despite anything that might weaken his resolve in the course of time. The final test of perseverance is the ability to finish what one has decided and set out to do.

Etiquette

Etiquette is the form of conduct or behavior prescribed by custom or authority to be observed in social, official or professional life. It is the manner of acting correctly. Etiquette includes, but is also more than the practice of good manners and right conduct. Etiquette is an indispensable part of the virtues of courtesy, self-control and the cardinal virtue of justice.
