TAE KWON DO TENETS

What are the Tenets of Tae Kwon Do?

Well the tenets of Tae Kwon Do are a list of words that remind us of how we should behave everyday.

Courtesy
Integrity
Perseverance
Self-Control
Indomitable Spirit

What do these words mean? Lets start with Courtesy.

Courtesy means a way of showing good behavior and thoughtfulness toward other people.

Integrity is complete honesty.  A person who lies has no integrity.

Perseverance is never giving up.  No matter how hard the job is you keep on trying until you are done.

Self-Control is being able to control how you feel and what you do.

Indomitable Spirit means that you are not easily discouraged or defeated.

So everyday you should be nice to everyone.  Never lie.  Always try your best at everything you do.  Always control your feelings so you don’t say or do anything to hurt others.  But most important never let anything stand in your way of being the best.
