These are guidelines to aid you in everyday life, not just in
the Do-Jang. We can only achieve truth and happiness when we take care of
ourselves and use the wisdom and power which nature has given us. Instead of
depending on material things, our Tae Kwon Do training is based on a strict
moral code, the mind and body are considered more important that material
possessions.
