Tae Kwon Do Tenets
Courtesy (Ye Ui)
Showing courtesy to all, respecting others, having manners as well as maintaining the appropriate etiquette at all times, both within and outside the dojang (designated training area).
Integrity (Yeom Chi)
Although it may be similar, this form of integrity takes on a much wider role than defined in the common dictionary. In Tae Kwon Do, integrity means not only to determine what is right or wrong but also having the conscience to feel guilt if one has done wrong and to have the integrity to stand up for what is right.
Perseverance (In Nae)
One will persevere time and time again until they have achieved a result which is adequate towards what one was trying to achieve.
Self-Control (Geuk Gi)
This means to not only have control over one's physical acts, but also their mental thoughts and actions.
Indomitable Spirit (Backjeol Bulgul)
To have indomitable spirit means to have the courage to stand up for what you believe in, no matter what odds you are up against, and to always give 100% effort in whatever you do.
