Courtesy: Politeness, consideration of others, respectfulness.
Integrity: Personal pride, honor, morality, wholeness.
Perseverence: Continuing to try to achieve a goal in spite of obstacles, persistence.
Self-Control: Being responsible for one's own actions and behavior.
Indomitable Spirit: Strength of mind and soul.
The above listed are the Tenets of Taekwondo, as taken from 'Dong Yang Moo Sool Do Textbook' by Sun Hwan Chung.
It is my desire and lifelong practice to live as close to these principles as possible. Taekwondo, as an art, strengthens my spirit. Meshing well with my faith in God, practicing the art of Taekwondo allows me to not only see my flaws, but to continually work on them.
