- Courtesy (Ye Ui)
Show respect to parents, teachers and instructors at all times.
Courtesy means being polite, helping others when in need and offering to help before
you are asked. You must handle all matters with fairness and sincerity and encourage a sense of justice.
- Integrity (Yum Chi)
Knowing right from wrong. You must always tell the truth and if
you do something wrong, you must admit to it. If you want someone to trust you, you must
first give them a reason. "Honesty is the best policy."
- Perseverance (In Nae)
Never give up - remain patient. If something becomes
difficult for you and you get frustrated, ask for help. Overcome your difficulties by
perseverance. Confucius said; "One who is impatient in trivial matters can seldom achieve
success in matters of great importance". Remember to always finish what you start. If you
put your mind to it, you can do anything!
- Self Control (Guk Gi)
Think before you speak or act. Stay calm, use your head not
your punches and kicks when you get upset. Self-Control, along with the other four tenets,
must be observed both inside and outside the do jang. When sparring, do not lose your temper,
this could only prove disastrous to both you and your opponent. Outside the do jang, you must
live within your capabilities. Do not give way to temptations.
- Indomitable Spirit (Baekjul Boolgool)
Do not show fear. Set your goals and achieve
them one step at a time. Do not be afraid to try new things. Trust in yourself and what you
believe in and stand up for these beliefs.

- White (10th Gup)
Signifies innocence, as that of a beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwon-Do.
- Yellow (8th Gup)
Signifies the Earth from which a plant sprouts and takes root
as the Taekwon-Do foundation is being laid.
- Green (6th Gup)
Signifies the plant's growth as the Taekwon-Do skill begins to develop.
- Blue (4th Gup)
Signifies the Heaven, towards which the plant matures into a
towering tree as training in Taekwon-Do progresses.
- Red (2nd Gup)
Signifies danger, cautioning the student to exercise control and
warning the opponent to stay away.
- Black (1st - 9th Dan)
Opposite of white, therefore, signifying the maturity and proficiency in
Taekwon-Do. It also indicates the wearer's imperviousness to darkness and fear.
