All Tae Kwon Do students are required to learn five Tenets and the Oath of Tae Kwon Do and this will be recited at the beginning of each lesson.

Discipline and integrity are far more important than the perfection of a sidekick or other technique. A Tae Kwon Do student should at all times set an example of good conduct, manners and helpfulness.

The Tenets

Courtesy
Integrity
Perseverance
Self Control
Indomitable Spirit

The Oath

I shall observe the tenets of Tae Kwon Do
I shall respect my Instructor and seniors
I shall never misuse Tae Kwon Do
I shall be a champion of freedom and justice
I shall help build a more peaceful world
