Tenets
Ho-Am TaeKwonDo artists live their lives according to the following seven tenets:

Honor - is nobility of mind and maintenance of one’s personal
   dignity in the face of adversity. Honor is the gift you give yourself.

    Courtesy – is thoughtfulness and consideration of others,
    humility, civility, and politeness.

Integrity – is the uncompromising adherence to a code of
moral values and principles. It requires soundness of
ethical strength.

     Perseverance - is the steadfast pursuit of one’s goals. It is
  the quality of never giving up in the face of challenge.

    Self-Control – is the restraint of one’s emotions and reactions.
Control comes from within rather than from outside forces.

              Courage – is the spirit which enables one to face danger with self-
          possession, confidence, and resolution. Courage consists of a reserve of
     moral strength on which one may draw in time of emergency. A courageous
 person will not tolerate injustice.

 Community – is the responsibility to contribute to society regardless of one’s position in life.
Civic accountability requires us to do our share and to be part of the solution of society’s problems.
Remember: Every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity an obligation; every possession a duty.
