Taekwondo Ethics and Etiquette

As in all martial arts, there are certain ways of behaving that are honorable, and others that are not.Showing respect for our instructors, black belts, coaches, referees and other authorities inside the dojang is balanced by showing respect for teachers, parents, and friends outside the dojang. Unfortunately there are no hard and fast rules for every possible situation, but basically, it's making sure that when you are interacting with others, you are behaving in a way that will bring honor, not only to yourself and your family, but to your sport.
