Ethics: Honour

As in all Martial Arts, ethics are of great importance. One can look at individual ethics, treat a fellow-man right, or one can look at social ethics, as part of a whole. It all comes down to one part, the difference between good and evil. But does this mean that we can kick one on the head? Because we don't want a person to be injured we wear protection, so this is not really a problem. It is all part of the sport. Taekwondo is not a destructive sport, but a sportive one. You do not compete in order to hurt your opponent, but to test your strength, in both physical and mental ways.


Tae Kwon Do students can improve themselves physically, and mentally by training. The final goal is to achieve harmony with nature and yourself. Balance is gained by controlling both evil and good forces (Yin vs.Yang): A true TaeKwonDo student knows how to behave in all situations. Taekwondo (and I guess this goes for every Martial Art) is not only a way to improve skills to defend yourself, it is also a way of life. Practising TaeKwonDo gives the student more self-confidence, but this should not result in a false sense of superiority.
