Tenets
A tenet is a belief or principle by which we should aim to achieve and live by. The tenets of Tae Kwon-Do should serve as a guide for all serious students of the art.
Courtesy (Ye Ui) - It is proper that all people have good manners, are polite, respectful and courteous to one another.
Integrity (Yom Chi) - This is the quality of being honest. A person with high integrity is said to be completely just and trustworthy.
Perseverance (In Nae) - The determination to complete, with the firm belief that what you are doing is right, what has been started and overcoming difficulties along the way. It must be remembered that no one said Tae Kwon-Do would be easy, and no true martial artist was born a black belt or a master, only perseverance helps achieve these goals.
Self Control (Guk Gi) - This is the ability to exercise control over ones actions and emotions. The inability to live and work without losing one's temper shows lack of self-control and the loss of dignity
Indomitable Spirit (Beakjul Boolgool) - This is the inner spirit a Peron has. A Spirit that produces courage at a time of injustice to deal with the perpetrators regardless of who or what they may be.
