The purpose of these rules, which have been an inherent part of Tae Kwon Do since its inception, is to ensure maximum benefit from the study of Tae Kwon Do.
| The Tenets of Tae Kwon Do |
| COURTESY: Be polite to each other; encourage a sense of justice; respect your instructor and help junior students. |
| INTEGRITY: To know right from wrong and have the conscience, if wrong to feel guilt. |
| PERSERVERANCE: To set a goal, e.g. higher rank, technique perfection, and work towards its achievement. |
| SELF-CONTROL: Both inside and outside the Do Jang, this is important, whether sparring or in one's personal affairs. |
| INDOMITABLE SPIRIT: To have the courage of your principles against overwhelming opposition. |
