TaeKwon-Do, Building a more peaceful world
You know that TaeKwon-Do is a powerful
martial art when taught correctly & applied
with proper training. It is, however, so much
more than that...
Apart from being a fun activity, and
learning very useful self defence skills, and
getting fit, strong, flexible, powerful and
athletic, TaeKwon-Do has a strong moral
philosophy, the fundamental values of which are
completely universal, ‘Generally be a good person in all aspects of your life’.
The TaeKwon-Do Oath has makes a lot of sense:
“I shall observe the Tenets of TaeKwon-Do”
“I shall respect my Instructors and Seniors”
“I shall never misuse TaeKwon-Do”
“I shall be a Champion of Freedom and Justice”
“I shall build a more peaceful World”
Now, the Banstead TaeKwon-Do classes, while strict at times, have a
strong sense of group spirit, I am sure you’ll agree. This is the start of doing
good things: friendships, a supporting environment, respecting seniors are
all encouraged - all of this we hope transfers to outside of the training hall to
start building more peaceful local communities. This is building a more
peaceful world from the ground up.
The physical training has an aspect of
this too: exercises are given not necessarily
just to build strength or improve body
conditioning but to build strength of
character in the student. Students learn to
beat their internal opponent through hard
training, forging a tough body through
repetition after repetition, focusing the mind
with each move of a new Pattern - the intention being that when leaving the
Dojang the student realises that all people are equal, everyone finds
TaeKwon-Do difficult, but steady improvement is made by regular training.
