KOTHARI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, NOIDA

Taekwondo Club Activity

Introduction: Taekwondo is one of the most systematic and scientific traditional martial
arts, that teaches more than physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that shows ways of
enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind.
Tenets of Taekwondo
1. Courtesy - to promote the spirit of mutual concessions.
to respect one another.
to encourage the sense of justice.
2. Integrity – In the Taekwondo world, integrity means being able to differ what’s right and
wrong.
3. Perseverance – Perseverance means having patience. A student must have patience in order to
achieve his/her goals
4. Self-Control – This tenant is extremely important inside and outside of the dojang.
Without taekwondo a Taekwondo student is just a street fighter.

of being confronted with injustice, he/she will deal with the consequences.
