Before and after any class or event we recite the “Songham spirit of Taekwondo” to ensure that our students are in the correct state of mind for whatever comes next. This is how it goes.
Songham spirit of Taekwondo
Before class/event
Sir/ Ma’am ….. I will practice in the spirit of Taekwondo
with COURTESY for fellow students
LOYALTY for my instructors
and RESPECT for my Juniors and Seniors …..Sir/Ma’am
After class/event
Sir/ Ma’am ….I shall live with PERSEVERANCE
in the spirit of Taekwondo
having HONOR with others
INTERGRITY within in myself
and SELF-CONTROL in my actions ….Sir/Ma’am
