5 Tenets
Courtesy
Be kind and treat everyone with respect. Respect is the nucleus to most all martial arts. It is essential that all students treat the instructors and classmates with the utmost respect. This is done by bowing often, shaking hands, and saying "thank you." Respect must also be shown outside the studio.
Integrity
Be honest and always try to do the right thing. A very important quality for attaining black belt is integrity beyond reproach. Do not lie, steal, or cheat. If you do make a mistake correct it when possible, and do not repeat it.
Perseverance
Be patient with yourself and always keep trying. It is easy to give up when things get difficult. If you have a feasible goal, you should not let others discourage you. Try your hardest in everything you do and you will be rewarded.
Self-Control
Be humble. Control your words and actions. You need to take responsibility for what you say and do. Controlling anger is extremely important for a martial artist. Learning self-defense is a great responsibility. It is imperative to use the art appropriately -- at the right time and place.
Indomitable Spirit
Have confidence, believe in yourself.
Students are encouraged to live according to the Tenets of TaeKwonDo.
