Tenets of Taekwondo
Courtesy
Integrity
Perseverance
Self-Control
Indomitable Spirit
Courtesy
Courtesy encompasses duties and responsibilities towards those people with whom one has direct contact. It is the expressed respect towards to brothers and sisters, parents, teachers, neighbors and peers. Being courteous and polite allows the martial artist to live in harmony with others and to get along with people of all walks of life.
Integrity
Integrity is honesty to yourself and how you interact with others. To earn the trust and respect of others, one must honestly represent oneself at all times. People with integrity fulfill promises they make to others as well as to themselves.Students with integrity are trustworthy.
Perseverance
Perseverance is inward focus and drive to improve oneself, and be successful. This first requires the courage to honestly assess one's strong point and shortcoming. Secondly, one must believe that improving these flaws is possible. Finally, to succeed and keep up with the task, the task is broken down into smaller goals, to continue progress in spite of difficulties.
Self-Control
Self-control is patience.Patience with yourself and with what you expect of yourself as well as patience with others and what you expect from them. Self-control is required to be patient in shaky situations and prevent possible physical injury to oneself and the others.People with self-control don‘¯t rely on others to determine their behavior and whether they‘¯re good at something.Self-Control also contributes to the improvement of students in everyday life in areas such as work, school, and social interaction.
Indomitable Spirit
Indomitable Spirit may seem to be a repeat of perseverance, but it runs deeper, it never quit. It is the determination to reach your goals.It embraces self-discipline and the absolute best efforts because their goals are important.Indomitable spirit is courage that overcomes fears to confidently reach your goal. Always put confidence in your decisions and fulfill your identity (who you truly are)
Bowing and its Purpose
Bowing is a form of body language in Asian countries. A bow can be used to say ‘°hello‘±, ‘°good-bye‘±, ‘°Thank you‘±, ‘°and ‘°Your welcome‘±. Bowing is also a way of showing courtesy and acceptance. When two people bow to each other they are showing mutual respect.
Traditionally, TAE KWON DO students demonstrate respect by bowing to the flags before entering or leaving the training floor, to the instructor, to senior belts at the beginning and the end of class, and after each interaction. It is a part of TAE KWON DO to bow whenever and wherever you see each other.
Over time, you will find that bowing has become a natural form of expressing the special relationship you have with your fellow TAE KWON DO.
How to Bow
1.The student stands at attention, head up, shoulders down, back straight, relaxed.
2.Either both feet are together, or the heels are touching and the toes are pointing outward at 45 degree angle, in a V-shape.
3.The hands should be held straight at the sides of the body. Bend head down to 45 degrees angle and bend deeply at the waist. When bowing, one's eyes looks downward.
The Energy Yell (Ki-Hap)
The Energy Yell is a very important part of Tae KWON DO training. When properly practiced, this special kind of yell combines sound with breathing in one explosive burst.
The Energy Yell sound not come from the throat, but from deep down in the stomach, using the diaphragm to forcefully push air up and out through the mouth.
The Energy Yell is one of the most distinctive elements of TAE KWON DO practice: no two students‘¯ Energy Yell is identical. You will find that as your TAE KWON DO skills change and grow, so will you your Energy Yell.
The Energy Yell
Serves Several Purposes:
·It ensures that students breathe while exerting themselves, for greater endurance and energy.
·It heightens mental focus and concentration by making students more aware of each technique.
·It helps to reduce tension.
·During drills with partner, the Energy yell is often used to communicate that you are ready.
·It is an expression of confidence.
·It is a way to motivate yourself and other by sharing your intensity and spirit.
·In self-defense, a loud and powerful energy yell can startle an attacker giving you additional time to react or get away.
