Tenets of Taekwondo

We used the 5 Tenets of Taekwondo this week in REACH as our focus for character education.  Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, and Indomitable Spirit all apply to more than just this martial art.  Those of us who study Taekwondo hope to learn and live by these ideals to develop inner  strength and find success in both our chosen sport and in life.  These ideals apply to all students in so many ways, from school to sports teams and personal life to possible future employment.  We had many good discussions about how to practice living up to these ideals and how doing that helps us grow into better human beings.
