 TENET OF TAEKWONDO
Foundation of a true Taekwondo Jin

• A tenet is an opinion, principle or doctrine that a person holds or

maintains as true. The five tenets of Taekwondo: courtesy,
integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
should serve as a guide for all serious students of the art.
COURTESY
• Taekwondo students should attempt to practice the following
elements of etiquette:
• 1. To promote the spirit of mutual concessions.
• 2. To be ashamed of one's vice, contempting that of others.
• 3. To be polite to one another.
• 4. To encourage the sense of justice.
• 5. To distinguish the instructor from student and senior from
junior
INTEGRITY
• In Taekwondo, the word integrity assumes a looser definition than the one usually presented
in Webster's dictionary. One must be able to define right and wrong, and have the
conscience, if wrong, to feel guilt. Listed are some examples, where integrity is lacking:
• 1. The instructor who misrepresents himself and his art by presenting improper techniques
to his students because of a lack of knowledge or apathy.
• 2. The student who misrepresents himself by "fixing" breaking materials before
demonstrations.
• 3. The instructor who camouflages bad techniques with luxurious training halls and false
flattery to his students.
• 4. The student who requests rank from an instructor, or attempts to purchase it.
• 5. The student who gains rank for ego purposes or the feeling of power.
• 6. The instructor that teaches and promotes his art for materialistic gains.
PERSEVERANCE
• There is an old Asian saying "Patience leads to virtue or merit," "One
can make a peaceful home by being patient for 100 times." Certainly
happiness and prosperity are most likely brought to the patient person.
• To achieve something, whether it is a higher degree or the perfection
of a technique, one must set his goal then constantly persevere.
• Robert Bruce learned his lesson of perseverance from the persistent
efforts of a lowly spider. It was this perseverance and tenacity that
finally enabled him to free Scotland in the fourteenth century.
• One of the most important secrets in becoming a leader in Taekwondo
is to overcome every difficulty by perseverance.
SELF CONTROL
• This tenet is extremely important inside and outside of the do-
jang, whether conducting oneself in free-sparring or in one's
personal affairs.
• A loss of self-control in free-sparring can prove disastrous to both
student and opponent.
• An inability to live and work within one's capability or sphere is
also a lack of self-control.
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
• "Here lies 300, who did their duty," a simple epitaph for one of the
greatest acts of courage known to mankind. Although facing the
superior forces of Xerxes, Leonidas and his 300 Spartans at
Thermopylae showed the world the meaning of indomitable spirit. It
is shown when a courageous person and his principles are pitted
against overwhelming odds.
• A serious student of Taekwondo will at all times be modest and
honest.
• If confronted with injustice, he will deal with the belligerent
without any fear or hesitation at all, with indomitable spirit,
regardless of whosoever and however many the number may be.
