전통무술관
Our school is based on the Five tenets of Tae Kwon Do; Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, and Indomitable Spirit.
Taekwondo philosophy is embodied in the modern tenets of Taekwondo, which are based on the principles of the Hwarangdo.
Courtesy (Ye Ui) Being Polite and Respectful
Courtesy promotes mutual understanding, harmony, peacefulness, humbleness, cooperation, respect, and a sense of justice.
Integrity (Yom Chi) Always Doing the Right Thing
In Taekwondo, we must be able to determine right from wrong and to have a conscience. We must always seek to integrate our thoughts, feelings, and values within ourselves and with the world in which we live through consistent actions. If we demonstrate integrity in our daily interactions with others, people will learn to regard us as dependable, responsible, and honest.
Perseverance (In Nae) Never Giving Up
Perseverance is the quality of being insistent. Success comes to those who do not give up. It takes a lot of work to achieve something truly great. A large amount of personal satisfaction may be gained from the growth, mastery, and self-knowledge that come from practice and commitment to a goal.
Self-Control (Guk Gi) Being Master of One's Own Impulses
A loss of self-control in class may result in injury to yourself and others. Your ability to get along and adapt to your environment and to recognize your capabilities is also a measure of self-control. An inability to live within your capabilities demonstrates a lack of self-control. For example, if during sparring one does not have the control to kick to the face without contact but does so anyway, this reflects a lack of self-control that could have dangerous consequences. Self-control means never having to say you are sorry.
Indomitable Spirit (Baekjul Boolgol) Never GiveUp
Indomitable spirit means standing up for what is just, regardless of who tells you that you are wrong. It means having the courage to be yourself at all times, and to do what you think is right regardless of the pressures people put on you. Finally, it means having a strong spirit that is not crushed or swayed by adversity or obstacles.
