Goals of a Student
|
| |
- The student will strive for a complete understanding of all aspects of Tae Kwon Do. Students should never tire of learning. A good student can learn anywhere or anytime. This is the secret of knowledge and lifelong learning.
- The student should always have a sincere outlook of Tae Kwon Do. If there is a misunderstanding, the student shall not argue with the instructor, nor shall the student turn against the principles of Tae Kwon Do.
- The student will dedicate themselves to the popularization of Tae Kwon Do. This may mean involvement in tournaments, demonstrations or helping out at open gym or even teaching. A student can always learn more about themselves, their technique, and other people by teaching.
- The students will establish long-range goals for themselves, and be able to teach Tae Kwon Do to others.
- The students will demonstrate maturity, and be a good example of a true martial artist, as well as develop a good sense of sportsmanship.
- The student will not disobey the instructor. Problems will be handled in a controlled manner. Any discussion with the instructor will be done in private and away from other students. Practicing material that the instructor has taught makes it become more natural which is more important and lasting than memorization.
- Students will neither be conceited nor complacent. Striving to be better and recognizing that there is always much to learn are qualities of a good martial artist. Tae Kwon Do techniques shall not be used against others without good reason.
- The student will not lose faith or confidence in their gym, their instructors, or the principles of Tae Kwon Do.
- The students will follow the rules of etiquette and be a good example for others to follow at home, school, and all other social functions. Remember that a student's conduct outside the gym is a direct reflection of the art, the instructor and the student themselves.
- Students will strive to be martial artists. They will demonstrate courage, wisdom, kindness, as well as control of their minds and bodies.
- Students will remember that Tae Kwon Do training is a privilege, not a right. This privilege is earned by following the rules of the home, school, and community.
