The Tenets of Taekwondo
Live the Values Behind the Art
The Tenets of Taekwondo are more than words — they are the moral compass of every martial artist. At Shiba Taekwondo, we integrate these values into every class, expecting students to demonstrate them both on and off the mat.
The Five Tenets:
- Courtesy (Ye Ui)
- Integrity (Yom Chi)
- Perseverance (In Nae)
- Self-Control (Guk Gi)
- Indomitable Spirit (Baekjul Boolgool)
These principles form the foundation of our curriculum — shaping the way we teach, train, and live as martial artists.
Taekwondo Terminology Guide
Master the Language of Taekwondo
Understanding the Korean terminology used in Taekwondo is essential for progression through belt ranks and full participation in class. From counting and techniques to stances and commands, our terminology guide helps students of all ages build fluency in the vocabulary of martial arts.
Common Terms You’ll Learn:
- Basic counts (1–10 in Korean)
- Commands (e.g., "Charyeot" – Attention)
- Techniques (e.g., "Ap Chagi" – Front Kick)
- Stances, forms, and courtesy phrases

The guide is perfect for home study, belt test prep, or parents looking to support their student’s learning journey.
