Why Learn the Olympic Sport of TaeKwonDo?

However, students and teachers of the craft know that it is the complete opposite. In this sport, we follow the “five tenets of TaekwonDo”, which are the following:

  • Courtesy: Students are trained to always be courteous, not just with their coaches and seniors but also with other students, regardless of their ranking.
  • Integrity: Trainees must practice honesty at all times. They should also have a strong moral compass and stand up for what is correct.
  • Perseverance: Aspiring taekwondo practitioners and athletes must have the willingness to go through every trial and not easily give up on achieving their goals. They should always do their best, whether they are in the practice room or competitive arena.
  • Self-control: Here at Five Rings TaeKwonDo, we teach our students to be the master of their emotions in every situation. Having this type of discipline will help them thrive during challenges.
  • Indomitable spirit: We train the students to have strong convictions and stand up whenever necessary, especially when others are oppressed. We also inspire them to give their 100% in everything they do.
