No matter how far away its destination seems, through trials and obstacles, earth and stone, water always finds its way.
In Taekwondo, perseverance is like water. Students of Taekwondo should work to develop their indomitable spirit as a tool to help them overcome difficult tasks and obstacles in every aspect of their lives. The indomitable spirit of a human being is the part of a person that can never be subdued or overcome. To have indomitable spirit is to "never say never," to never quit in the face of an enemy or an overwhelming obstacle or situation, once a just path has been chosen. And to many practitioners of Taekwondo it is the most important tenet. Indomitable spirit is related to both perseverance and self-control. And should you lose control, the world controls you. To control yourself is to control the situation. In crisis, pain or anger, students of Taekwondo should always do their best to control themselves and act with thought rather than by instinct or through emotion. When people think of martial artists whom they admire, often they will admire that person’s ability to control themselves. To being honest and having strong moral principles. To work hard and be beyond corruption. But also it includes being able to stand up for what is ethically correct. Integrity is one's ability to determine the difference between right and wrong. Students of Taekwondo should do their best to be humble at all times. There is always room for improvement in any endeavour. No matter how well someone is able to perform a kick or a punch, it is never truly perfect. Bragging, boasting, vanity and egotism are undesirable traits in any person, especially a student of Taekwondo, and often represent a sign of weakness or fear. They should also be modest about their abilities at all times. Taekwondo students should exhibit kindness, humility, good manners, politeness, and respect.
