CLASS PROCEDURE

1. You must pick up your attendance card from one of the plastic boxes on the front counter and take it into class with you. When you line up for class, the instructor will collect the attendance cards. The cards will then be marked by a staff member and returned to the boxes. This way we have a record of how many classes you attend.

2. Bow as you enter and leave the school building, and when entering and leaving the do-jang (training room). Bowing is a part of our training that is an international, natural body language showing that you respect yourself and others. Bowing shows that you are healthy and strong, yet have discipline.

RULES OF MENTAL EDUCATION

Everyone wants to have a happy and ideal life. Many try to achieve their ideal life through a material civilization. As a result, they destroy their health, moral order and being. Morever, they live in loneliness and agony.

We can only achieve truth and happiness when we take care of ourselves and use the wisdom and power which nature gave us, instead of depending on material things.

Our Tae Kwon Do is based on strict moral codes. The mind and body are considered more important than material possessions. We will strive for excellence by following these tenets:

1. Loyalty to country: Our country is our very soul and we must always strive to be loyal.

2. Fidelity to parents: We must honor our parents in order that our children may honor us.

3. Marital fidelity: Husband and wife should be considered one. Life without love has no dignity.

4. Brotherhood: A person who is considered your brother deserves to be helped, encouraged and treated with kindness by you and others.

5. Respect for elders: There is no substitute for the experience of the old. They should always be respected and honored.

6. Respect for teachers: The teacher must do his best for his students, and in return the students will give him loyalty and respect.

7. Friendship: A friend is like a brother. We are at our best when we forget our troubles to help a friend in need.

8. Avoid killing living things: We should avoid killing living things whenever possible.

9. Inner strength: Inner strength is the key to real valor and makes a person brave.

10. Finish what you start: Don't leave anything unfinished. Remember, your work is a reflection of yourself.
