Etiquette, shame, patience, self-denial, perseverance! -This is the spirit of Taekwondo.

Taekwondo etiquette

Etiquette in Taekwondo is the concrete embodiment of the basic spirit of Taekwondo. Taekwondo practice is carried out in the form of fighting, but no matter how intense, because both sides aim to improve their skills and temper their quality, they should hold the psychology of showing respect and learning to each other in their own hearts. Therefore, we must salute each other before and after practice or competition, that is, Taekwondo is a comprehensive exercise for practitioners' spirit and body, so that practitioners can cultivate their ideal personality and body through hard training and truly master the skills of self-defense. Therefore, the mental exercise of practitioners must include the education and edification of "etiquette".
