As in all Martial Arts, ethics are of great importance. One can look at individual ethics, treat a fellow-man right, or one can look at social ethics, as part of a whole.

Ethics basically all comes down to one point, the difference between 'good' and 'evil'. We practise Taekwon-Do, often seen as an aggressive sport, but does this mean that we can be aggressive? Do we want to be aggressive? The answer is NO!

We wear protection, because we don't want someone else to be injured, nor do we want to get hurt ourselves. Taekwon-Do is not a destructive and aggressive sport, but a sportive one, to test your strength, in both physical and mental ways.

Taekwon-Do students can improve themselves physically and mentally by training. The final goal is to achieve harmony with nature and oneself. Balance is gained by controlling both evil and good forces (Yin vs. Yang): A true Taekwon-Do student knows how to behave in all situations.

Taekwon-Do is not only a way to improve skills of self defence, but it's a way of life. Practicing Taekwon-Do gives the student more self-confidence, but this should not result in a false sense of superiority.
