One of the first things about Tae Kwon Do that a beginning student learns is that there are 5 tenets. All Tae Kwon Do practitioners are asked to learn these tenets and are asked to name, and possibly explain them, from their earliest grading onwards. For some students the very word itself; tenet, is one that they may not have come across before. This is especially true of our younger students.
In order to help students grasp the concepts behind the 5 tenets, we will be explaining each tenet in turn in a series of blog entries over the next few weeks. Hopefully this will be of benefit to our new students and will encourage those who are already familiar with the tenets to look at them from a new angle.
The word tenet means an idea or a principle that is held by a group of people.
The five tenets of Tae Kwon Do are:
Courtesy
Integrity
Self Control
Indomitable Spirit
Perseverance
