Courtesy begins when entering the Dojang. We bow when entering the Dojang then to each Black Belt starting with the highest rank first. This demonstrates Courtesy and Respect to those who teach us Taekwon-Do. 4

Tenets of Taekwon-Do Courtesy Integrity Perseverance Self-Control Indomitable Spirit 25

Courtesy The first of the Taekwon-Do principles is courtesy. In the Dojang this means... Simply being polite. You can show courtesy by... Bowing as you enter the Dojang. Greeting your instructor and fellow students with a handshake and bow. Listening quietly when your instructor talks. And thanking your instructor at the end of the class. And here's what not to do... DO NOT Yawn. Or fiddle with your belt or your feet. Or fold your arms. Or talk while your instructor is talking. Also be polite by not pushing ahead of other students. If a lower grade student pushes ahead of you. Or stands in what should be your place when you line up. Just let them. They're the ones who'll look impolite. Not you. Outside the Taekwon-Do Dojang. It's also good to be polite. If you can find it in yourself to be courteous to everyone. Even people you find it hard to be around. Or those who are rude to you. You'll probably find that life will be a bit smoother! 26

Integrity The easiest way to describe integrity is doing the right thing. And doing what you say you are going to do. So in the Taekwon-Do Dojang. Try not to cheat. If your instructor asks for 15 push-ups. Don't do 13 so you can finish first. If you say that you are going to be there every Friday for Demo training. You need to be there. Every Friday. And outside the Dojang. It's good not to follow the crowd if the crowd is doing something wrong. It's good to tell the truth. Even if this gets you into trouble. 27

Perseverance The next of the Taekwon-Do principles is perseverance. Sticking with it. Keep on going. And here's how it works. You think you'll never do a reverse jumping turn kick. And you try a few times. And you fall over. And feel stupid. So you try again. And you still can't get it right. And you miss the target. Again. And again. But you pick yourself up. Dust yourself down. And try again. And eventually. You start to get it. And a few months later. Wham! That sweet sound when your kick hits the middle of the target! What a great feeling! That's the power of perseverance. In life you can achieve pretty much anything you want. If you keep on trying. An example is Susan who broke her boards in her Black Belt grading. Through perseverance. 28

Self-Control Self-Control is one of the hardest Taekwon-Do principles. When you train in Taekwon-Do. You learn powerful techniques. Which could cause great harm. If you are learning these techniques. You must learn to control yourself. So that you don't harm others. Over our years of Taekwon-Do training, one of the things that has impressed us the most. Is the self-control shown by many black belt s. Susie remembers her first grading. 'I was asked to spar against a Taekwon-Do black-belt. I was scared shaking with fear. But I had no need to be scared. My opponent showed self-control. He allowed me to score a couple of easy points. Allowing me calm down a little. Then he replied with a couple of very fast but controlled points. Which gently tapped my chest protector. There was no power behind the shots. Of course he could easily have sent me flying with any of his kicks. But I realize now. That he had nothing to prove. He had self-control. And he allowed me to pass the test. The test REALLY was to have enough courage to get in the ring!' It's easy to lose self-control at times. Like when you are angry. Or upset. But as you train in Taekwon-Do. You will find that you will develop more control over yourself. This helps you to think a bit more clearly about what you do and say. 29

Indomitable Spirit That spirit in you which keeps you going when really bad times strike and push you down. And that spirit in you which won't be crushed however tough things are. You develop indomitable spirit as you train in Taekwon-Do. It comes from persevering. From getting up when you fail. And trying again. It comes from pushing yourself through physical and mental exhaustion. So you go further than you ever thought possible. And indomitable spirit also comes from facing your fears. 30
