About

THE 5 TENANTS OF
HWA-RANG TRADITIONAL
TAEKWON-DO

Courtesy

Courtesy means showing respect, kindness, and a willingness to work well with others. Taekwon-Do is not about fighting or aggression—it emphasizes respect, good manners, and being a positive influence on those around you.

Integrity

Integrity is about being truthful, having strong values, and doing what is right. All students are expected to demonstrate honesty, moral character, and upright behavior in everything they do.

Perseverance

Perseverance is the commitment to keep going, even when challenges arise or success seems uncertain. It requires determination, resilience, and a refusal to quit on your goals.

Self-Control

Self-control is the ability to manage your emotions and actions, especially in tough situations. This discipline extends beyond Taekwon-Do and plays an important role in everyday life.

Indomitable Spirit

An indomitable spirit means having the courage and strength to never be defeated. It’s about developing a confident “I can do it” mindset and standing firm, even when faced with adversity.
