The 5 Tenets of Tae Kwon Do
Courtesy (Ye Ui)
Thoughtfulness and respect. Tae Kwon Do practitioners (both students and instructors) should be polite, and show consideration for others.
Integrity (Yom Chi)
How you should interact with others. To be honest and good, earn respect and trust.
Perseverance (In Nae)
Your internal drive. Challenges allow us to improve ourselves and should therefore not be avoided.
Self-Control (Guk Ki)
To have control of your body and mind. A Tae Kwon Do student should practice controlling their actions and reactions.
Indomitable Spirit (Baekjool Boolgool)
To have courage in the face of adversity. A Tae Kwon Do student should never be dominated by, or have their spirit broken by another.
